Ingredients

Mirror Glaze Recipe

2 tsp or 1 envelope of powdered unflavored gelatin (7 grams), bloomed in 1/4 cup of
additional water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (300 grams)
3/4 cup water, room temp (237 grams)
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk (200 grams)
2 cups miniature white chocolate chip (350 grams)

Equipment
digital thermometer
gel food coloring
microwave

Instructions
1. Begin by mixing 1 envelope of about 2 tsp gelatin in a bowl with 1/4 cup of water. Set
aside to let it bloom while you begin the glaze.
2. Pour 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup of water, and 2/3 cup sweetened
condensed milk in a heat proof bowl.
3. Heat for 1 minute on high power in the microwave.
4. Remove the mixture, and stir to incorporate the ingredients. Pour in the bloomed
gelatin, and stir until it's fully dissolved.

5. Melt the white chocolate chips in microwave by heating it in 30 second intervals, stirring
between each interval. Once the white chocolate is fully melted, pour the chocolate into
the warm gelatin mixture.
6. Carefully whisk mixture until fully combined.
7. Continue to stir occasionally (to prevent a skin from forming), until the glaze has reached
90 degrees, or is just slightly warm to the touch.
8. Divide the glaze evenly between four bowls. Color them different shades using gel food
coloring. To create this galaxy mirror glaze, color them blue, purple, black, and pink.
9. Pour each color of glaze back into one large bowl, alternating colors and drizzling the
colors together as you pour them.
10. Place a chilled buttercream cake (in the freezer at least 20 minutes, or the fridge for 1
hour) on top of a circular object smaller than the cake board, and set this on top of large
baking sheet to catch the run-off glaze.
11. Begin pouring the glaze onto the center of the cake, then slowly work out to the edges
of the cake in a circular motion until the cake is fully covered.
12. Let the glaze continue to drip for about 10 minutes, then scrape away excess glaze from
the bottom of the cake board using a small offset spatula. 

Notes
One batch of this mirror glaze makes about 4 cups, which is more than enough glaze to
cover one, eight inch layer cake.

If you plan to eat the cake within a few hours after pouring the glaze, leave it out at
room temp.
If you pour the glaze in advance, store the cake in the fridge. Remove the cake from the
fridge a couple hours before you plan to cut into it.

Make this mirror glaze ahead of time or save leftovers! Once it's made, wrap the bowl
with plastic wrap store in the fridge for up to a week.

To use chilled glaze, heat the bowl in to the microwave for 15-20 second intervals until it
reaches the right consistency

Use leftover glaze to top cupcakes, cookies, or even ice cream!
