Steps:
- Bloom the gelatin by pouring 3 tablespoons of cool water into a small bowl and sprinkling the gelatin evenly over top. Allow the gelatin to sit until it has absorbed the water.
- Place the white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and white food color into a medium heat-proof bowl.
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 cup of water in a small saucepan. Stir gently to ensure that the sugar is moistened. Heat the mixture over high heat until boiling and allow to boil for a minute or two until the syrup is clear. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin. Pour the syrup and gelatin mixture into the bowl of chocolate and milk and allow to sit for 30 seconds before stirring until smooth.
- Use an immersion blender to emulsify the glaze, making sure that the head of the blender stays below the surface of the glaze. This will ensure your glaze doesn't become aerated. Pour the glaze through a fine sieve if there are any lumps or air bubbles.
- Color the glaze with powdered food colors by separating the desired amount of glaze into individual containers and stirring in the color. Mirror glaze should be poured when the temperature reaches 94 to 95 degrees F.

Steps:
- Place 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and whisk in the gelatin. Set aside to bloom for a few minutes.
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup and 1/3 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is clear, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin, whisking until dissolved. Add the white chocolate and allow to sit 1 minute to melt. Add the condensed milk and 1 teaspoon of white gel food coloring. Combine with an immersion blender until emulsified and smooth. Let cool until the mixture registers 100 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Divide the glaze evenly among 3 small bowls. Using an immersion blender, add 3 drops of fuchsia food coloring to the first bowl and combine. Add 4 drops of purple food coloring to the second bowl and combine. Add 5 drops of blue food coloring to the third bowl and combine. The temperature of the colored glazes should be 95 degrees F before pouring.
- Place your frozen frosted cake on top of an inverted cake pan resting on top of a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack. Starting at the center of the cake, pour the glazes over it, alternating to swirl the colors. Use a small offset spatula to create more swirls if desired. Dust with flakes of gold leaf. Refrigerate the cake for 1 to 2 hours before serving.

Steps:
- Spread the jam evenly into the bottom of a round 8-inch (20 cm) cake pan, then place one of the cake rounds on top. Freeze completely.
- In a 9-inch by 3-inch (23 cm 8 cm) by silicone round cake mold, pour ⅔ of the chocolate mousse then tap the mold on the table to release any air bubbles.
- Place the frozen cake & jam disc on top of the mousse, jam-side down. Press the cake down slightly, then cover it with the rest of the mousse.
- Place the 2nd cake round on top, pressing down until the mousse rises to the level of the cake.
- Carefully transfer to a freezer and freeze overnight. It is vital that the cake is 100% frozen through.
- Place a can on top of a baking sheet, then carefully unmold the cake onto the can. Make sure to work quickly and that the glaze is already prepared.
- When the mirror glaze is between 90 and 96°F (32 - 35°C) , pour the glaze over the cake in a circular motion, making sure to start in the center and work your way outwards.
- You only have one chance to glaze the cake, since the glaze will start to set due to the cold temperature of the cake, so do not pour a 2nd round of glaze after the first one.
- Enjoy!

Time 6h45m
Yield 10 to 12 serving
Number Of Ingredients 23
Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Butter the bottom and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper and butter the parchment. Flour the pans and tap out the excess.
- Mix the coconut milk, water, vanilla bean paste and coconut extract in a liquid measuring cup. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and 1 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce the speed to low; beat in the flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the coconut milk mixture. Increase the speed to medium high; beat until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually beat in the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar until stiff glossy peaks form, 5 minutes. Fold half the egg whites into the batter, then fold in the rest. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and smooth the tops, then tap the pans against the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake the cakes until the centers spring back when gently pressed, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 15 minutes in the pans. Loosen the edges with a knife and turn out the cakes onto the rack; remove the parchment and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat the cream cheese, butter and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to low; beat in half of the confectioners' sugar until combined. Beat in the remaining confectioners' sugar and the coconut extract. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Remove 1 cup frosting to a separate bowl; mix in the shredded coconut.
- Put one cake on an 8-inch cardboard round. Spread the shredded coconut frosting on top, then top with the second cake. Spread a thin layer of the regular frosting over the top and sides of the cake (some crumbs are fine). Refrigerate 30 minutes, then cover with the remaining frosting, making it as smooth as possible. Refrigerate overnight or freeze for 2 hours.
- Make the mirror glaze: Sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup water in a small bowl; stir and set aside 5 minutes. Combine 3/4 cup water, the granulated sugar and condensed milk in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve. Remove from the heat, add the gelatin mixture and stir to dissolve.
- Pour the hot gelatin mixture over the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl; let stand 5 minutes, then whisk until melted. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Divide between two small bowls; tint one white and one blue. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until thickened and a thermometer registers 90˚ F.
- Pour half of the white glaze into a medium bowl, then pour one-third of the blue glaze into the center. Pour half of the remaining white glaze into the center of the blue to create a bull's-eye. Set aside the remaining glazes for touch-ups.
- Position the cake (on the cardboard) on a small upside-down bowl set on a rimmed baking sheet. Starting along the outer edge, slowly pour the glaze in circles around the cake, working your way toward the center, until the cake is covered, letting the excess drip down the sides. Touch up any bare spots with the remaining glazes; sprinkle with edible glitter. Let stand until the dripping stops, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until set, 1 to 3 hours.

Steps:
- Prepare the cake layers in two 8-inch cake pans according to the package directions; let cool completely in the pans on a rack. Level the domed tops of the cakes with a serrated knife, then invert the cakes out of their pans. Clean and dry the cake pans; return the cooled cakes cut-side up to the pans. Poke the cakes every 1/2 inch with a chopstick.
- Stir together the lime gelatin and 1 cup boiling water in a small bowl until completely dissolved; let cool for 10 minutes. Pour over the cakes and refrigerate until the gelatin is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the cakes from the pans (if they stick, dip the pans in hot water for 10 seconds to loosen). Place one cake on a large plate. Frost the top with 1 cup of the frosting in an even layer. Top with the second cake and frost the whole cake with the remaining frosting, making it as smooth as possible. Freeze for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, stir together the raspberry gelatin and 1/4 cup boiling water in a small bowl until completely dissolved.
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is clear, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the raspberry gelatin mixture and the white chocolate. Let sit until the chocolate has melted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the condensed milk and blend with an immersion blender until completely smooth. Let the mixture cool to 95 degrees F on an instant-read digital thermometer.
- Remove the cake from the freezer and place on a cooling rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Pour about two-thirds of the raspberry-white chocolate glaze over the cake. Swirl several drops of red food coloring into the remaining glaze and then pour it over the cake (the whole cake should be covered in the glaze). Let set for 15 minutes, then transfer the cake to a serving platter and refrigerate until firm, 1 to 2 hours.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 8-inch cake pans with baking spray and line the bottoms with parchment rounds.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Beat the granulated sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; beat in half the flour mixture, then all of the milk and then the remaining flour mixture until just combined.
- Separate the batter into 6 different bowls and tint one bowl red, one orange, one yellow, one green, one blue and one purple. Transfer each color to a separate disposable pastry bag or resealable ziptop bag. Pipe half of the red batter into the center of one of the prepared pans, then pipe the remaining red batter into the center of the second pan. Pipe half the orange batter into the center of the red batter in the first pan, then repeat with the remaining orange batter in the second pan, tapping the pans gently as needed to level out the batter. Repeat with the remaining colored batter until all the batter is piped and both cake pans are about half full.
- Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pans to a rack and let cool 10 minutes, then invert the cakes onto a wire rack and cool completely.
- To decorate: Using a serrated knife, level the top of each cake layer. Spread a small amount of Buttercream Frosting onto an 8-inch cake board. Place one cake layer onto the cake board bottom-side up. Add about 1/2 cup of frosting to the top of the cake and smooth to an even layer. Invert the second cake layer over top of the frosting layer. Using an offset spatula, frost the cake with an even coat of frosting. Refrigerate to set and chill, about 3 hours.
- Place the chilled cake onto a wire rack fitted inside a baking sheet. When the Mirror Glaze is the proper temperature, pour the colors together into a single container for a swirled effect. Pour the glaze over the cake, then let it stand to set before transferring to a cake stand.
- Combine the confectioners' sugar, butter and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until mostly incorporated. Add the vanilla, increase the speed to medium high and mix until smooth. Adjust the consistency with milk as desired.
- Whisk together the gelatin and 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl; set aside to bloom.
- Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup and 1/3 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is clear, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin to dissolve. Add the white chocolate and let stand 1 minute to melt. Add the condensed milk and combine with an immersion blender until emulsified and smooth.
- Divide the glaze into bowls and color as desired. When the glaze is between 75 and 80 degrees F, it is ready to pour.

Steps:
- SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:.
- 4-inch round cutter, pastry bag, 1-inch round pastry tip, candy thermometer, large offset spatula and small paintbrush.
- MAKE THE CAKE:.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 4 (8-inch) cake pans with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, stir together cake mixes, eggs, water and oil until thoroughly combined.
- Evenly divide batter between the prepared cake pans. Bake for about 35 minutes until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
- Once completely cooled, remove from pans. Use a serrated knife to level off the domed tops of the cakes.
- In a large bowl, place the contents of the cans of frosting. Add purple food coloring until the desired color is reached and mix until fully incorporated. Fit piping bag with a large round tip. Add purple frosting.
- Attach one cake layer to a cake board with a dollop of frosting. Place a 4-inch circle cookie cutter in the center of the cake and fully frost around it, leaving the area inside the cookie cutter.
- Then, use the cookie cutter to cut out a center hole in the middle of the next two layers.
- Place a layer on top of the first, frost the ring of cake, then place the next cut layer on top.
- Fill the center cavity of the cake with a mix of galaxy sprinkles, M&Ms, rock candy and Pop Rocks.
- Add a final layer of frosting around the cake ring and attach the last cake layer upside down.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with a thin, even layer of frosting to trap in any crumbs.
- Chill cake, uncovered, in a fridge for 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, add a 1/2-inch layer of frosting around the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Smooth the tops and sides of the cake. Make sure top coat is straight and level. The smoother the coat of frosting, the better the mirror glaze will adhere.
- Chill in fridge 1 hour.
- MAKE THE GLAZE:.
- Place white chocolate chips in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together 1/3 cup cold water and gelatin in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- In a small pot over medium-high heat, stir together 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat and whisk in gelatin. Mix until smooth. Add condensed milk and mix until combined.
- Pour mixture over white chocolate chips. Whisk until smooth.
- Stir occasionally while the mixture cools to 95 degrees F, using a candy thermometer.
- Take out 3/4 cup of the mixture and divide between 3 bowls.
- Color the large portion navy blue. Color the three smaller portions light blue, magenta and purple.
- Place cake on an upside bowl glass or cake pan set on a parchment-lined baking sheet. The diameter of the glass or pan should be smaller than the diameter of the cake.
- Once the temperature of the glazes reaches 90 degrees F, pour the dark blue glaze all over the cake. The excess glaze will run down the sides of the cake and into the pan.
- Using a spoon, create streaks across the cake with the light blue, magenta, and purple glazes.
- Gently glide a large offset spatula across the top of the cake to smooth the top and create a marbled effect. Let the excess glaze drip off.
- Use a small paint brush to splatter glitter all over the cake, then sprinkle with silver stars.
- Once the glaze has set, about 20 minutes, cut off the excess glaze drips.
- Cake can be stored, covered, for up to 5 days in the fridge.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line the base of three 18cm sandwich tins with baking parchment. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric whisk for 8-10 mins, or until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift in the flour, baking powder and a pinch of fine salt, and fold in using a large metal spoon. Add just enough of the milk to create a dropping consistency.
- Divide the batter between the prepared tins and smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 25-30 mins or until golden and firm to the touch. Leave to cool slightly in the tins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, make the buttercream icing. Beat together the butter, icing sugar and vanilla until pale and fluffy, beating in 4-6 tbsp hot water to loosen the mixture if necessary.
- Stack the sponges, spreading the buttercream over each one using a palette knife, then use the palette knife to roughly coat the outside of the cakes with the remaining buttercream to create a crumb coat. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins.
- Using more of the icing, spread it over the chilled cake using your palette knife so that there's an even layer of buttercream across the whole cake and over the top. Chill in the fridge for 2 hrs until set, or ideally overnight.
- To make the mirror glaze, soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for 5 mins until softened completely, then drain. Put the sugar, 200ml water and the condensed milk in a pan, whisk together, bring to the boil, then whisk in the drained gelatine leaves. Put the white chocolate in a bowl, pour over the sugar mix in the pan and leave for 1 min to melt. Whisk everything together, then divide into three bowls.
- Using the gel colourings, colour each bowl a different shade. Put one of the colours that you would like to use as an accent colour on top to one side. Stir all of the colours occasionally leaving them to sit until they reach 30-32C so they are thick enough to glaze the cake without being too thin and running off the edges. Once at that temperature, pour the remaining two colours on top of each other and stir slightly to marble them together.
- Place your chilled iced cake onto a cooling rack set in a deep tray (to collect the excess glaze). Pour over the mirror glaze which should be at 30-32C, allowing it to drip down the sides. Drizzle over the accent colour you've saved then, using a paint brush, flick over some gold lustre, if using. Leave it to set completely before slicing and serving. Will keep, in the fridge, for up to three days.

Steps:
- Prepare the cake layers: Using a 2-inch round cutter, cut out a circle from the center of the black cake. Using a 4-inch round cutter, cut out a ring from the center of the same cake. Using a 6-inch round cutter, cut out another ring from the center of the cake. Set aside and repeat with the green cake. You should have 4 pieces of black cake and 4 pieces of green cake.
- Reassemble the rings of the black and green cakes to create 2 layers with alternating colors, resembling bull's-eyes.
- Place an 8-inch cardboard cake round on a turntable. Spread a small dollop of chocolate frosting on the cake board and place a cake layer on top. Spread an even layer of frosting over the cake, then place the second layer on top. Spread an even layer of frosting over the top and sides of the cake, smoothing flat. Freeze the cake for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
- Make the mirror glaze: Add the white chocolate chips to a medium bowl and set aside.
- Place the gelatin sheets in a small bowl with ½ cup water. Set aside to bloom for 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Boil the water, sugar, and condensed milk in a pot for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- Bloom the gelatin sheets in 8 cups (2 liters) of cold water for 5 minutes, then wring the gelatin sheets of excess water and mix into the sugar mixture.
- Pour the liquid over the chocolate, letting it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
- Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the chocolate and the liquid, making sure that you are not blending in air bubbles by lifting up the blender too high. It's okay to go slow, just make sure it's all blended with as little bubbles as possible, which will show up in the final product.
- Sieve the mix into a large jug or vertical container to remove any excess bubbles. If there are still bubbles, continue to sieve back and forth. A trick to remove air bubbles from the surface is to manually pop them with a toothpick or to press cling film into the surface and remove the bubbles.
- Separate the glaze into different containers and color them to your desire.
- We used red and white for this cake. Blend the coloring with the glaze until the color is distributed evenly, then cover each container with the cling film, pressing the film into the glaze to ensure that there is no skin when you are ready to use the glaze.
- When you are ready to use the glaze, make sure each one is around 90-96°F, then pour the colored glazes back into one container. Swirl them if you'd like, then glaze your cake!

Time 14h
Yield 8 serving(s)
Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- To make strawberry puree:.
- Place the thawed strawberries into a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth.
- Pour into a medium pot and sprinkle over the gelatin powder, let sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
- Add the sugar to the pot and place over a medium heat on the stove. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the gelatin has melted.
- Pour through a metal strainer into a bowl.
- Line a 6-inch bottomless ring mold with aluminum foil on the bottom which comes up the sides tightly. Alternatively, you can use a 6-inch round silicone mold. Place into a flat baking tray. Pour the strawberry puree mixture. Freeze for at least 1 hour, covering the top with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
- To make white chocolate mousse:.
- Add the water to a small pot and sprinkle over the gelatin powder. Allow to sit for 5 minutes so the gelatin can bloom.
- Place the white chocolate chips into a medium, heatproof bowl.
- Pour 1/2 cup of heavy cream into a medium pot and set over a medium heat on the stove. Heat until gently steaming then remove from the heat and pour over the white chocolate chips in the bowl. Allow to sit for 5 minutes so the white chocolate melts and only then, stir together until smooth.
- Heat the pot with the bloomed gelatin over a medium-low heat, stirring until the gelatin has melted. Pour this into the white chocolate cream mixture and stir thoroughly to combine. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Place the remaining 2 cups of heavy cream in a large bowl. Whip until thick with soft peaks, being careful not to overwhip. Fold half of the cooled white chocolate mixture into this until well combined. Gently fold the remaining white chocolate mixture inches Immediately move onto the next step otherwise the mousse will start to set in the bowl.
- Assembly before freezing:.
- Take an 8-inch round, bottomless ring mold and line the base with plastic wrap: Cut a large sheet of plastic wrap, set the ring mold on top of it and pull the plastic wrap up the outside of the ring mold, pressing together to adhere. Line the base with aluminum foil as well in a similar fashion. Set on a flat baking sheet. Alternatively, you can use an 8-inch round silicone mold, which you will not need to line.
- Remove the frozen strawberry jelly from the freezer and pop out of the mold. If it is hard to remove from the mold, dip into a very wide, shallow bowl of hot water to help melt the edges so it can be removed. Set aside.
- Pour half of the white chocolate mousse into the prepared 8-inch mold. Place the frozen strawberry jelly into the mold, then the chocolate cake on top. Cover with the remaining mousse.
- Place into the freezer for 8-12 hours until completely set.
- To make mirror glaze:.
- Place 1/4 cup of water into a small bowl and sprinkle over the gelatin powder. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
- Place the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate and bloomed gelatin mixture into a tall heatproof container for example a wide mouthed mason jar, large Pyrex jug or similar.
- In a medium pot, place the sugar, liquid glucose and remaining water. Heat on low, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat to medium and bring to 217 degrees F, using a thermometer to measure the temperature.
- Once this temperature has been reached, pour this over the chocolate mixture in the tall container. Let stand for 5 minutes so the chocolate can melt.
- Use a hand blender to blitz until smooth - make sure the wand of the blender is completely submerged in the mixture to prevent air bubbles forming in the mixture.
- Let the glaze cool to room temperature then place into the fridge to chill until needed.
- Final assembly:.
- Remove the mousse cake from the freezer and, if using a silicone mold, pop it straight out. If using a ring mold, let it sit for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly then peel away the aluminum foil and plastic wrap from the base. Run a palette knife or butter knife around the edge of the cake in the mold to loosen then pop out of the ring.
- Place the cake onto an inverted mug or a can set on a baking sheet.
- Reheat the glaze in a microwave at 50% power in 10-20 second bursts until the edge has melted and the canter is wobbly. Stir together until smooth. Check the temperature - it needs to be 95 degrees F - if it is a bit too hot, just let it sit until it reaches that temperature. If it is too cool, microwave in 10-20 second bursts, stirring each time, until it reaches the correct temperature.
- Scoop 1/3 cup of glaze into one small bowl. Scoop another 1/3 cup of glaze into a separate small bowl.
- To one small bowl, add a drop of white food coloring and stir until smooth.
- To the other small bowl, add a couple of drops of purple food coloring and a drop of red food coloring to get a deep purple-pink color.
- To the tall container of glaze, add one drop of purple food coloring and one drop of red food coloring to get a pale pinky-purple color.
- Pour the small bowls of glaze into the tall container of glaze. Stir together very briefly to only slightly marble them together. Immediately pour the glaze over the mousse cake in a circular motion, ensuring all the edges of the cake are covered. Let sit until the glaze has stopped dripping off the bottom edges. Once this happens, use a small, sharp knife to trim off any excess glaze from the bottom edge to make it look neat. Transfer to a serving plate and chill the cake for 1 hour before serving (serve chilled).

MIRROR GLAZE
The temperature of the glaze has to be just right. Too hot and it won't be thick enough; too cool and it won't flow over the cake. Stir the ingredients for the glaze - don't whisk as this will create air bubbles. You can make the sponge and the glaze mixture up to 3 days ahead but you'll need to apply the glaze on the day you'll be serving the cake. Store the baked sponge in an airtight container and the glaze in the fridge. To use glaze from the fridge, microwave for 10 seconds at a time until it's just thin enough to pour.

Steps:
- Soak the gelatine in 80ml cold water for 5 mins. Heat the sugar, glucose and 100ml water gently in a pan until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil until it reaches 103C. Remove from the heat. Add the soaked gelatine and stir until smooth. Stir in the condensed milk.
- Put the white chocolate into a bowl. Pour over the warm condensed milk mixture and leave for 5 mins. Stir until smooth. Test the mixture with a sugar thermometer - when it cools to 30C it is ready to use. Stir occasionally as it cools to prevent a skin forming.
- For a perfect finish, the glaze has to flow over the cake and drip off the bottom edge. For this, stand the cake on a plate smaller than its base, balance this on a small bowl, then put on a clingfilm-lined baking sheet.
- Divide the glaze between three bowls to as many as you want. Stir gel food colour into each to make different shades. Pour over the cake, alternating colours so they form flowing patterns and cover the buttercream. Any excess will drip off the base. Leave to set for 25 mins. Transfer to a cake stand to serve.
MIRROR CAKE GLAZE
This creamy white-chocolate glaze sets with a mirror-like shine when poured over a smoothly frosted cake. For a gorgeous marbled effect, layer several colors of glaze into one bowl before pouring it over the cake.

Steps:
- Stir gelatin and 1/2 cup lukewarm water in a small bowl and let sit 5 minutes.
- Cook sugar, condensed milk, vanilla, salt, and 3/4 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to bubble, about 4 minutes. Add bloomed gelatin and stir until dissolved.
- Remove from heat and add chocolate chips, stirring constantly, until melted. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, then divide glaze among 3 or 4 bowls. Color each with food coloring as desired. Let cool, stirring occasionally to stop a skin from forming, until glaze is just cool enough to touch (100-95°F), 10-12 minutes.
- Pour half of color one into a large bowl, then pour half of color two into the center, followed by half of color three and half of color four, if using. Repeat with remaining glaze to form concentric circles of different colors in bowl.
- Set a chilled, smoothly frosted cake on a cake pan or overturned bowl set inside a rimmed baking sheet or large tray to catch drips. Pour colored glaze over, sweeping back and forth across cake as you pour, to form a marbled pattern. Resist the temptation to touch glaze once it's poured; it will start to set as soon as it hits the cold cake. Let glaze drip about 10 minutes, then clean up edges with a small offset spatula or butter knife. Transfer cake to a serving platter and chill at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
- Using a warmed sharp knife, cut cleanly through cake, wiping knife with a warm damp towel between each slice.
