Notes

Storage & Handling This recipe will make approximately 3 cups of mirror glaze.
You will always need more than what is actually being adhered to your cakes since the excess must drip down & off the cakes.
Reuse the excess by scraping it up & storing only the clean portions in a clean container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator
