This technique, however, isn’t new or earth-shattering. Chefs have been doing such shiny glossy glazes on entremets for the last 4 decades, but it hasn’t been used in mainstream birthday cakes or round cakes.

Is the technique very difficult?

The best thing about the Mirror Glaze Cakes is that you don’t have put much effort into designing or for decorating the cake. The trick is in getting your consistency of gelatin right.  You only have to put the cake on a rack and pour all the glaze on it without touching it or without a break.

You can make many designs in it like a star galaxy, a day sky or any print which you like. It is very easy to decorate this mirror cake because you can use as many colors as you want but make sure to choose the right color combination for it.
