Learn how to make the easy mirror glaze to complete your beautiful mirror cake! By knowing how to make it, you can now make various cakes and desserts you may have seen at amazing pastry shops, such as mousse cakes, drip cakes, fancy plated desserts, and more! This mirror glaze is not rubbery, perfectly soft, and stays shiny!

📌 Ingredients To Make Mirror Glaze
Makes 1000g (Enough to glaze an 8-inch cake)
• Water: 120g (1/2 cup)
• Granulated sugar: 250g (1 1/4 cups)
• Glucose (or light corn syrup): 240g (3/4 cup)
• Sweetened condensed milk: 150g (1/2 cup)
• Unflavored gelatin (Bloom 225 - 230): 15g (2 packs of Knox gelatin powder)
• Icy cold water for gelatin powder: 60g (4 Tablespoons) *For gelatin sheets, soak them in icy cold water and wait for 10 minutes
• White chocolate: 275g *I highly recommend weighting with a scale for accuracy since chocolate can weigh differently depending on the components/brand)

NOTE: For best results, measure ingredients with a scale. All recipes are designed with weighed ingredients using grams/ounces. Cup measurements (US customary units) are provided for your convenience.

[About the bloom of gelatin]
"Bloom" refers to the strength of the gelatin. The higher the number is, the thicker the mirror glaze gets. And the lower the number is, the softer the mirror glaze gets. That is why it is so important to know the number before purchasing them. The gelatin powder I used this time is Knox gelatin powder (Bloom 225), and the gelatin sheets are PerfectaGel Platinum gelatin sheets.
When using gelatin sheets or powder with different blooms, you'll need to adjust the amount to get the same consistency. The gelatins I used in the video are linked below.

Today, I’m guiding you through how to make the incredibly fluffy and moist vanilla chiffon cake! You’ll only need 6 simple ingredients (one of them is water!), which you can get at any grocery store. This fluffy, like a cloud chiffon cake, melts in your mouth. I always end up eating a few slices! Let us know if you tried it at home, how it turned out, and how you enjoyed it for your special event! I am also answering a lot of questions I’ve got through the past years about chiffon cake, such as “Why didn’t my chiffon cake rise much?”, “Why did it deflate?”, “Can I use all-purpose flour instead?”… and many more!

📌 Ingredients To Make Vanilla Chiffon Cake
For a 7-inch chiffon cake pan (the bottom: 6-inch, the top: 7-inch)
• Egg yolk: 70 g (4 yolks)
• Vanilla beans: 1/2 pod (or vanilla extract: 1/2 tsp)
• Granulated sugar for yolks: 25 g (2 Tbsp)
• Water: 60 g (1/4 cup)
• Oil: 40 g (1/6 cup)
• Cake flour: 80 g (2/3 cup) *Use all-purpose as an alternative.
• Egg white: 132 g (4 eggs)
• Granulated sugar for egg whites: 50 g (1/4 cup)

Bake (Preheated) at 340ºF (171ºC) for about 40 minutes.
* Adjust the baking time, depending on the size of the pan, thickness of the batter, oven, etc.

NOTE: For best results, measure ingredients with a scale. All recipes are designed with weighed ingredients using grams/ounces. Cup measurements (US customary units) are provided for your convenience.
