The Best Mirror Cake Glaze

Add sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and water to a medium-hot saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

Pour the hot liquid over the chocolate chips and let them melt for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir the glaze with a whisk until the chocolate is completely melted.

Step 6

Add the food colouring gel and stir until everything is well mixed. Let the glaze cool down.

Once the glaze has cooled to 37C | 90F pour it over the frozen cake which is on top of a cup sitting on a tray to catch the drips.

Step 8

Let the glaze last 15 minutes before removing the drips with a spatula.

Step 9

Put the cake in the fridge before serving and let it rest for a few hours.
