I always coat my cakes in this if I'm doing construction. The
recipes say glaze or base coat; I do both.
Refrigerate (or otherwise cool) your cakes after glazing. If you don't,
the glaze will mix with the base coat.
Ingredients
- About 8 oz of Jam (I typically use raspberry, although they recommend apricot
for light cakes and frosting). I use one jar of Polaner jelly.
- 1 Tbsp water
Directions
- Bring jam and water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to get all lumps
out.
- Cool before using.
- Coat cake and then chill for at least an hour before moving on to next step.
