KarenNC Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 We were discussing mirror cakes, but can't find anything on how the glaze part tastes. Anyone had one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs_JWM Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I'd never even heard of it until your post made me Google it, but OMGOSH - so beautiful! I imagine it would taste very sweet and a bit creamy. Now I want to make some... Sent from my XT1049 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Our cake supply store had one to sample and the glaze was poured over rolled fondant. The glaze was kind of a little bit rubbery and sweet. Not offensive but not something you'd love. Since it was over fondant most of us tasted it then pulled off the fondant/glaze and just ate the cake. The glaze was really a thin layer- much thinner than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie G Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Are you going to make one? If you do, we need pictures and a recap of how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Its made from sweetened condensed milk, or at least some kinds of it is so...very, very sweet. I don't like it and I don't like fondant for the same reason. I think they are both gross tasting. There is also chocolate mirror glaze, which is an old standard and easier to make. It tastes very good, if you are the sort who likes chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandMama10 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I had to look up what these were....wow! They kind of remind me of bowling balls though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Are you going to make one? If you do, we need pictures and a recap of how it goes! No, we were at a birthday party for my godson and his girlfriend said she'd been searching for some reviews on the taste but not having any luck. My google-fu didn't work on this one either, but I was sure there would be someone in the Hive who'd tasted one. For the record, I hate the taste of fondant and it doesn't sound like I would like this much better. Since the extent of my cake decorating most days is to bake a cake in a 9x13 pan and slap a bit of store-bought frosting on it (if I use frosting at all), it's unlikely to be a big issue at our house. :) The closest I've come to a chocolate ganache or glaze type of thing was the time I heated up a jar of Nutella and poured it over a chocolate sour cream pound cake (made with devil's food cake mix, chocolate pudding mix, and Ghiradelli double chocolate chips). It was a birthday death-by-chocolate cake for a friend. Edited October 11, 2016 by KarenNC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
