Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel, my name is Brittnee. Today I am going to be
showing you how to do this cool golden spider web or net effect on a chocolate mirror glazed cake.
I also have a video for the chocolate mirror glaze recipe and technique,
you can check that out in the card above or the link in the description box down below.
But in today’s video I will just be going over
the recipe and the technique for the golden spider web effect.
And just a reminder I always link all the recipes
and the supplies that I use in the description box. So, let’s
get started by going over all the ingredients and supplies that you’ll need for this effect…
A thermometer can be helpful but isn’t required A large offset spatula
A small silicone cup Piping gel
Gel food color, I’m going to be using white And some edible gold powder
So you’re just going to start by scooping a bit of the piping gel into a little cup, I like to
use these little silicone cups. You don’t need a ton, cause you’ll only be doing one swipe,
so about that much. Oops I dropped it. And then I’m going to heat this up in
the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, I want it to be around 120 degrees when it comes out.
Perfect, it’s about 118. I actually want it to be a little warmer because
by the time I mix this in and this it’ll cool down. 5 more seconds.
So, I’m adding white to make it more opaque so that you can see the gold better. And I’m just
eyeballing all of this. And then I’m just going to add a little tiny scoop of gold and stir that in.
And if you like the look, it’s ready to go.
Just a little tip, you want to have your glaze and your warm gel
ready at the same time. You’re going to glaze your cake and then immediately
swipe it across with the warm gel and that’s how you’ll create the effect.
Alright, the glacage is now at about 105 degrees and the gold slide web is 121,
so this is perfect. So I’m just going to pour it. I start kind of along the edges so
that it goes all the way over, I want to make sure it’s covering all the way to the bottom.
So then I’m going to immediately pour my gold on my offset spatula and let it drip.
You don’t want too much and then just give it a nice swipe across like that.
Now you just get to sit and watch it drip.
Now once the drips have slowed you can just use a knife to cut them off.
The cake underneath my glaze is all about fall flavors so I want to finish
my cake with some autumn chocolate decorations
and I have videos for all of those, which I will link for you in the description down below.
