What is glazing?
Glazing is to coat with chocolate cakes, mousses or other pastry preparations.
Possible problems and troubleshooting
Temperature, of both glaze and pastry piece is key to get a perfect final result. A too high temperature of the glaze can make a too thin chocolate layer. If the temperature of the piece is not the correct one, this will make a not brightness final result. Discover our technical advisor’s tips to avoid these issues.
Also to have in mind
Condensation can produce mate points in the glazing. A correct refrigeration can avoid it.
