Instructions
Step 1
Begin by mixing the water and glucose syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture until it reaches a temperature of 45°C (113°F).
In a separate bowl, combine the sugar with the Kappa carrageenan. Gradually add this mixture to the saucepan, stirring continuously with a whisk to avoid lumps.
Step 2
Once all the ingredients are well combined, increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, continuing to stir. Allow it to boil for approximately 2 minutes to ensure the Kappa carrageenan is fully activated.
After boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it with plastic wrap. Allow the glaze to cool to a working temperature of 50-55°C (122-130°F).
Step 3
Once your glaze has cooled, take your pre-frozen cake or pastry and dip it into the glaze quickly. Rotate the item to ensure an even coating around the entire surface.
The glaze will start to release moisture after a few hours, so it's a good idea to place a paper towel under the pastry for any excess moisture. This makes the glaze easy to handle later on without any mess!
Servings
Once your glossy coating is ready, the fun doesn’t stop there! You can use this amazing icing on a variety of goodies. Imagine draping it on your favorite cakes 🍰, donuts 🍩, or even cupcakes 🧁! Not only does the gloss enhance the look of your desserts, but it also adds an extra layer of sweetness that everyone will love!
For an outdoor picnic or casual gathering, serve your coated treats alongside fresh fruits and whipped cream for an unforgettable dessert spread! 🍓 A touch of mint leaves can also add a splash of color and freshness that will impress your guests!
For those looking to jazz it up a little, consider sprinkling edible glitter or crushed nuts on top of the glossy finish to create a unique texture and appearance. Let your creativity shine as you experiment with combinations!
Equipment
A sturdy whisk is essential for mixing the ingredients evenly to achieve that flawless texture. Look for one with a comfortable grip that will make whisking a breeze!

A medium-sized pot is great for heating your mixture. Ensure it has a heavy bottom to avoid scorching.
Using a thermometer will help you monitor the temperature accurately, which is crucial for getting your coating just right!
This is used to cover the mixture while it cools. Opt for a good-quality wrap that won’t break and can seal tightly.

Faq
- What can I do if my glossy coating doesn't turn out shiny?
Make sure you've heated your mixture properly and whisked it thoroughly. If it cools down too much before applying, it won't have that glossy finish.
- Is there a way to fix the coating if it thickens too much?
You can reheat it gently while stirring to thin it back down. Be cautious not to overheat!
- Can I use this coating on frozen desserts as well?
Absolutely! In fact, frozen desserts are perfect for this glossy coating. Just make sure they are well-frozen before dipping.
- How long does the glossy coating last on pastries?
The glossy coating is best consumed fresh, but it will survive a day or two in the fridge. Just keep them covered!
- Can I flavor the glossy coating?
Yes! You can infuse flavors by adding extracts such as vanilla or almond during the mixing process. Experiment to find your favorite!
- What's the best way to store leftover glossy coating?
Store it in an airtight container in the fridge. When you're ready to use it, gently reheat and whisk to restore its smooth consistency.
