and stir until it forms a thick liquid (see tip below).

HOW TO TEST WHETHER THE GLAZE HAS


THE RIGHT CONSISTENCY

Let a little of the glaze run over a wooden cooking spoon. It


should now be covered by a layer of glaze approximately 4 mm
thick. If the glaze is too thick, add a few drops of sugar syrup to
dilute it (to do so, loosen any remaining sugar in the saucepan
with a little hot water). Make sure the glaze does not get too
hot, or it will be dull when cooked and not glossy.

8 Pour all the lukewarm glaze liquid at once over the top of the
cake and quickly spread using a palette knife. Leave the glaze to
set for a few hours. Serve garnished with whipped cream.
