The glaze can be made in a variety of ways, depending on the desired texture, taste and style. And then you will find out how.

Steps

Method 1 of 6: Powdered Sugar Frosting

  1. 1 Pour one cup of powdered sugar into a small bowl.
  2. 2 Add 1-3 tablespoons of milk, water, or orange juice. You can also use heavy cream. Keep in mind that the more liquid you add, the thinner your frosting will be.
  3. 3 Stir with a spoon.
  4. 4 Try the consistency. Make sure it's not too runny or too thick. If too thick, add more milk. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  5. 5 Put it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to thicken the liquid.
  6. 6 Add flavoring. You can add lemon juice, vanilla extract, almond extract, or any other flavoring. You can also add food coloring if desired.
  7. 7 Spread the frosting over the brownie. Let the cake cool first.

Method 2 of 6: Oil Glaze

  1. 1 Use an electric mixer to stir about 90 grams of softened butter in a small bowl. Stir until foamy.
  2. 2 Add 160 grams of caster sugar and one tablespoon of milk or water one at a time.
  3. 3 Smear the frosting. After stirring the frosting, spread it over the brownie.
    • The glaze can be colored with food coloring.

  3. 3 Remove the syrup from the stove. Leave the pan to let the bubbles subside.
  4. 4 In a small bowl, stir two egg whites until frothy.
  5. 5 While continuing to stir the protein with a mixer, slowly pour in the hot syrup in a thin stream. Then, stir the mixture at high speed for 10 minutes until thick and cool.

  3. 3 While stirring the hot butter mixture, gradually pour the cocoa and sugar into it.
  4. 4 Cover the pot with a lid. Place it in the refrigerator until the mixture cools and thickens.
  5. 5 Stir the frosting with a wooden broom before spreading the frosting over the cake.

Tips

  • Make sure the frosting is completely cool before applying the frosting to the cake, or your frosting will melt on it.
  • You can add food coloring to change the color of the frosting.
  • By pouring the icing into a sturdy plastic bag and cutting off the tip, you can decorate a cake or pastry.
  • Powdered sugar can also be called confectionery sugar. This is the same. The powder should be in the form of a fine white powder, not as white crystals. Granulated sugar (which looks like small crystals) is not very suitable for icing because it is not sweet enough.
  • Glaze also works well for cookies.
  • Cinnamon, lemon juice, crushed mint sticks, cookie bits - whatever you choose can make your frosting tastier and more original.
  • You can look at the samples and try to recreate them on your cake.

Warnings

  • Do not heat the frosting too much, as this can boil the milk and ruin all the frosting.
  • If you don't want to use raw eggs in your icing, go for pasteurized ones.
