Cocoa Mirror Glaze
The perfect glaze every time...watch and learn lovelies. Thanks to Louis for this gorgeous and easy glaze.
If you have ever wondered about how they make those gorgeous glossy cakes that are perfectly glazed in patisseries, wonder no more. You now have the recipe and the secret to perfect glazing. Thanks to Louis. Michelin starred chef and patissier! I apologise that I interrupted him so much on the video...I was in translation mode and couldn't stop myself! He does do a wonderful job. Thanks so much.
