“Shiny” Cakes are all the rage.

They are stunning to look at and seem like they take a master to make them.
Well I have some good news, I’m no master, and I CAN MAKE ‘EM!

The important thing to remember is to have a SUPER cold dessert, preferably frozen overnight and ensuring that the glaze has come down to the correct temperature range before pouring.

Really that’s it.. I promise!!

Follow the recipe as written and you want to make everything shine!!!
