Love watching passionate people making beautiful desserts...You have a wonderful accent too. I want to try making mirror glaze like this for a suprise cake for my wife...this looks amazing. I'm thinking of creating a larger 8inch vanilla cake, with an intense strawberry gel & piped swiss vanilla buttercream on all 2 layers.then chocolate mirror glaze & decorate with half dipped chocolate fresh strawberry, will throw on a few nibs & candied almond dust
Lovely! Aya, you are the first one who does not use corn syrup or glucose syrup in making mirror glaze. Also, thank you for clearly explain about the gelatin sheet. I purchased some out of watching youtube but could not understand the difference or have knowledge on how much to use. Waiting for the right info to come and here it is. You make a difference ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🙏🙏🙏
Great video. Today I tested out a newly to decorate my yearly Christmas cookies. I usually make sugar cookies and decorate them a basic butter cream which is colored in various colors. Today I poured different colored mirror glazes on them and also tried multiple colors on some. It turned to be as time consuming as using a buttercream frosting but the mirror looked great. I had to handle the cookies carefully since the glaze is soft. So my next step is figure how I will box them. I did use a piping bag to add some names and other embellishments to the cookies.
Thank you! You can use the same amount of gelatin: 19g of gelatin powder hydrated in 4-5 times amount of cold water. (It usually say how much water you should add in the package of gelatin powder but usually it’s around 4-5 times). I recommend to make with 19g and see if you like the softness and add more next time if you want! It is probably slightly softer with gelatin powder but I think it should not be a big problem!
I have used Bakers chocolate for mirror glazes, but never cocoa powder! This seems much easier than using chocolate bars. I’m doing a caramel mousse cake with a caramelized pretzel filling, and am going to cover it with this glaze. Thank you for this recipe 😊
JoyousCookingCo I totally agree. This is so much easier than using chocolate bars. We're able to make a delicious glaze and with the current grocery prices, using cocoa powder is easier on the grocery bill. Thank you Aya for this wonderful tutorial. I've just discovered your wonderful channel and luv it so much. Happy Holidays to you and everyone's families.
Thank you so much for the recipe. May I ask, if I m using gelatine powder, what should be the recommended measurement that is equivalent to the gelatine sheets used in this recipe? I look forward to your replies as I m baking a BD cake for myself 😀
You know it is delicious when your daughter wont answer questions and only nods her head whist continuously shoving spoon after spoon of the cake in her mouth without having a break...lol
Hi Anya, thank you for the video. I am planning to make petit four for my niece’s wedding shower. Can you tell me the glaze is touchable after it cooled down. I don’t want the quests got it all over their fingers and touch anywhere in the house with their hand. Also can you tell me where did you buy the 6 tiered cake stand at your background.
Hi Anya, your glaze are perfect. I want to ask a question. I'm going to make a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse chocolate glaze.. If I store in the fridge the glaze shining part will gone?
Love this. Glad to find a mirror glaze recipe without actual chocolate. Makes it an affordable option. I bake professionally, but in a small town where the locals don't have a lot of money. And our ingredients super expensive. So minus chocolate is a blessing. Any chance that there's a white/coloured version??? 🤣😂🤣
I've been thinking of ways to make a chocolate mirror glaze for a variety of reasons. Once again, a video that provides a solution to something I've been puzzling over on and off for a while.
Hola aya.. saludos desde Venezuela.. admiro mucho tu trabajo.. me gustaría saber si la gelatina en polvo se usaría en la misma proporción... Y también cómo conservar el glaseado
Hi, thank you for this recipe. Hope to try it soon. However it is difficult to get the gelatin sheets in my country. Whats the ratio of the gelatin powder to use please?
Hello Aya... Loved your recipie, well explained, Could you please let me know how much of powdered gelatine and water to dissolve the gelatine would be needed since Gelatine sheets are not easily available. Thx
Thank you! You can use the same amount of gelatin powder if the bloom is the same ( if you don’t know it, I recommend trying with the same quantity and see if you like it.) We usually need to add about 4-5 times amount of water to the gelatin powder. Check the package to see if the instruction mentions about it!😉
Hi Ana! Thank you for the recipe. I have a question, I tried to decorate the cake with Swiss Buttercream after glazing it and the buttercream keeps sliding off. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you! 👍
Hi Aya, thanks for sharing your recipe and great video. I made your glaze and it is fantastic to use. I have a question in regards of left overs , I keep it in fridge , but if I want to re use it , should I just re heat to boiling then cool down to 40 c ? Thanks !
The liquids can get evaporated slightly more than we want if you boil, so you can cook slowly and stop right after its melted. Or I like to heat up with a microwave in a microwave safe air tight container. When I don’t have a microwave, I place the container in a hot/warm water in a huge pod and let it melt slowly. Hope that helps!
Aya, i know this is an old video but at 8:42 when you cut into the cake it looks like there is base layer that is below the mousse. Is it a cake or a cookie base? Planning to make this dessert for Valentines 💝
I was so excited to see this video because after watching your chocolate mousse recipe I really wanted to use it in the pretty mousse cakes I’ve been seeing & I knew yours would be delicious! I looked at the recipe but I’m confused on how much gelatin to use. I ordered from your link. Does it take the entire package? I thought you used 3 sheets but then it looked like more. Thank you for all the wonderful recipes & videos you share 💕
may i know (1) why soak gelatin in cool water not hot water? (2) The cocoa powder to add taste or add stability? (3) if I have something like small cupcake (inside in the middle of the cake has whipping cream source). Will it affect the garnish finishing?
these look great! I've made a mirror glaze cake twice but with white chocolate and the gelatin powder. I really want to try the sheets now! Are the roses edible? I didn't know they were but I guess they probably are or you wouldn't be feeding them to your kid. lol Great job!
Hello Chef Aya! I haven't encounter any gelatin sheets here in our place. If i use the powder gelatin, how.much should i use? Thank you and more power!
Hello! You can use the same amount from my recipe; 19g. For gelatin powder, make sure to hydrate it with 4-5 times of cold water before use. I suggest to try with the amount, see if you will like it and add more next time if you would like to! :)
The base of mousse cake? You can use any mousse you want. I made chocolate mousse tutorial before, so check it out if you are interested. And I usually like to freeze the mousse all the way before pouring the glaze, it’s easier for me!
Mam,before pouring the chocolate mirror glaze, what should we cover the cake, is it with whipping cream or butter, cream,and can I use gelatine powder instead of gelatin sheet.
hii! can i use gelatin powder instead, and if so, how do i dissolve that into the glaze mixture? do i like put the gelatin water in there instead of normal water?. anyway, this is such an amazing recipe!!
What strength gelatin is that?
It’s bloom 230!

12g powder gelatine = 3 teaspoon powder gelatine= 4 leaves of gelatine. Happy birthday Alan , I hope it is a wonderful day for you!
Do you add the gelatin powder directly into the chocolate, or do you add it in water and then put the mixture into the chocolate?
@@sleepingbeautyblue you need to “bloom” the gelatine first, that’s you add it to the water first.

Such a great turorial, thank you! First time trying a mirror glaze and I'm so pleased with it. Can the temaining glaze be frozen? Thank you 😊
Always clear explanation and video, thank you for your generosity
Thank you!🥰
How do you reuse your glaze, should it be heated, and how many times can it be stored and re-used?
You can keep it in the refrigerator ,then in a double boiler warm it,let it cool down room temp like 30c and start glazing
Hi Aya, thank-you for this recipe, can you please give an equivalent quantity of gelatin if iam using powder instead of sheets???
Looks amazing. Really liked the tips at the end and I actually also learned something new about the different blooms Thanks!!!
Looks amazing, the talent definitely shines through in your videos. Thank you for sharing this with us :)
Thank you!🥰❤️ Thank you for watching!
Does it remains same after keeping in fridge?
Do you have to keep it in the refrigerator? How long does it keep for? Thank you 🍫
Is this enough to cover a 3-layer [8" cake]? Thanks Aya!!😄
Very tempting.. thanks
Hi Anya, your glaze are perfect. I want to ask a question. I'm going to make a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse chocolate glaze.. If I store in the fridge the glaze shining part will gone?
To replace the gelatine sheet with powder, do so use the same 19g?
This was so helpful. Thank you!
I learned a lot by watching this video, thank you 😊
I'm so glad!🥰
I would love if you could make a video on essential kitchen equipment, tools, and ingredients!
Thank you for the request! Would love to!!

そのままでも食べることができます！どちらでもどうぞ！かけたてはソースに近い食感ですが、割とすぐに固まります。完全に冷えても固すぎず、べろべろな感じにはならないです。薄ーく広げるとさらにいい感じです👌🏼
