I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been strugling to get the right ratios for mirror glaze,… followed a few other recipes and never got the right consistency. Next time I think I wont even wait for the glaze to reach 35°C, but will try to use it while still at cca. 40°C… for a bigger cake I mean. I think agar thickens faster than gelatine, therefore you risk a lot while pouring it over a larger cake (8″). Any suggestions? Thank you so much for this recipe!
I am so glad you enjoy it! I haven’t experienced with the temperature, but you are absolutely right about agar-agar sets faster than gelatin. Thanks so much for the lovely review!
