About

Finishing entremets or petits gâteaux with a glaze creates a wonderfully shiny and glossy finish. Unlike spraying there is no specialized equipment involved.

Place a wire cooling rack onto a tray with sides to catch any excess glaze.
Demould the product required for glazing and place back into the freezer. (1-2)
Prepare the glaze as instructed in the recipe and place into a jug for pouring. When the glaze is at the correct temperature, take the product from the freezer and place it on the wire rack.
Gently pour the glaze over the product, paying close attention to corners and sides to make sure that it is evenly coated. For a smooth shiny finish, you should glaze slowly and in one fluid action. (3-4)
Gently run a palette knife across the top of the entremet ensuring a thin coating. (5) Place in the fridge and leave to set. (6)
