The cake needs to be frozen solid

The cake needs to be frozen solid and removed from the

freezer just before you pour the warm glaze on. This
ensure the glaze solidifies over the cake.

Use the right kind of gelatin

If you have a choice between gelatin sheets and

powdered gelatin, go for the sheets; produce a shinier
finish

Don’t do anything to mess with the mirror

effect

The goal of the cake is to not only look stunning, but

also to be reflective. In a successful mirror cake, you
should be able to see yourself in the glaze.
