Mirror Glazes
Mirror glaze is the shiny coating that dresses modern entremets with a smooth and reflective surface. Poured over a frozen entremet, it instantly sets into a clean layer that captures the light. Our collection brings together ready-to-use mirror glazes and customizable preparations: neutral, chocolate, colored, and metallic.
Types of Mirror Glaze
- Neutral glaze: transparent base to color yourself or use as is for a subtle glossy effect.
- Chocolate glaze: dark, milk, or white, for indulgent entremets.
- Colored glaze: red, pink, blue, green, for festive and birthday creations.
- Metallic glaze: gold, silver, blackening effect for high-end finishes.
How to Apply Mirror Glaze
Warm or prepare the glaze, then let it cool down to its application temperature, around 30 to 35 °C depending on the product. The entremet must be frozen through and placed on a rack above a tray. Pour the glaze in one smooth motion, from the center to the edges, without going over the same spot twice. Let the excess drip off, remove drips with a spatula, then transfer the entremet to its serving base. Let it thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Temperature is everything: too hot, the glaze slides and leaves thin spots; too cold, it sets before covering. Work on a well-frozen entremet and pour without delay.
Frequently Asked Questions
At what temperature should mirror glaze be applied?
Around 30 to 35 °C depending on the product, on an entremet frozen through. The thermal shock instantly sets the glaze into a clean, shiny coating.
Can an entremet covered with mirror glaze be frozen?
Yes. Once glazed, the entremet can be returned to the freezer. The shine is preserved after slow thawing in the refrigerator.
How to fix a failed mirror glaze?
If it ran too thin, refreeze the entremet and apply a second layer. If it’s too thick or bubbly, blend and then strain the glaze to remove bubbles before pouring again.
