Mirror glaze for life like fruit

[Matthew Schiller]

After the 3rd one it gets clumpy. Just keep regheating it as I need too?

[Sussan Estela Olaya]

Yes, if the glaze loses heat, it will thicken. You can reheat it in the microwave for about 20 to 30 seconds, just make sure to glaze at the correct temperature.

Thank you.

Is the mirror glaze supposed to be that thick or did I prepare it incorrectly

[Sussan Estela Olaya]

Hi Matthew.

Looking at your first photo, for the mirror glaze to work properly, the dessert (in this case, the apple) must be completely frozen, as the glaze is at a temperature between 30 to 32 degrees Celsius. This thermal shock causes the glaze to adhere to the dessert with a thin layer, giving a neat final result.

It’s possible that your dessert wasn’t frozen enough before glazing. I’m not sure what type of thermometer you’re using, but it’s best to use a probe thermometer rather than a laser one. The laser thermometer only measures the surface temperature, not the internal temperature.

Now that I see your second photo, the result looks much bette, the mirror glaze is slightly sticky and very shiny.

We hope this information is helpful.

Best regards.

It was frozen. I made the mistake of dipping it twice because I didn’t think it was green enough. The second batch went much better. Thank you

Great, it’s best to dip it only once to avoid clumps. You’re doing an excellent job, thanks for sharing with us.
