Condenced milk contains dairy...so no vegan there...also White chocolat contains dairy....so there's no vegan there...so ot doesn't mattor if you use agar agar...because it aint vegan. There are vegan alternatives.
Good morning. Yes. Your last sentence basically tells the truth of it all. I have the full vegan version (ingredients) listed on my 100% vegan website at Gretchen’s Vegan Bakery. Using VEGAN white chocolate. VEGAN condensed milk *with a recipe for homemade coconut condensed milk for those who cannot find the canned one. This video as I explain, displays the method in detail so whether it is the vegan version or not the method remains the same *with the exception of the handling of the agar vs disgusting gelatin- as i also explained in the video. I have been wanting to make an updated video for this excluding the gelatin version altogether, since this video was filmed before i myself transitioned from an un- aware vegetarian for 10yrs to full vegan in 2016. So thank you for the reminder to do just that, with your *kind😂* comment informing people of the vegan alternatives. I do have the full VEGAN recipe with written instructions incase this video triggers someone 🧐 www.gretchensveganbakery.com/vegan-mirror-glaze-recipe/ And bonus ! A second mirror glaze recipe here : a fancy Raspberry Linzer mousse www.gretchensveganbakery.com/raspberry-linzer-mousse-cake/
@@GretchensVeganBakery well then I can make it dairy free so my son and I wont get a tummy ache. I prefer vegan alternativet to alot of what we put in our mounths.
Hi Gretchen since I've been following you on youtube I have been a big fan of you and your recipes of course! I wanted to tell you 4 years later I have my bakery degree!!! Yeeaaaah I just finished school and wanted to thank you for inspiring me for doing the one thing I love and that's baking and making people happy with my sweets!
wow ... Amazing tutorial.. Thank you for showing way to use agar agar ..its reallly so helpful... n those marble effect glaze looks more beautiful.. really cute mousse bombs .. loved them very easy but looks so presentable like pros..u made it easy for us.. Thank you so much Gretchen
Idk why but anything that has a marbled pattern makes me so happy. I have decor in my room that's marbled, I have a marble take sheet on my laptop, and my phone case is marbled so I LOVE that gold and red marble version!
Thank you so much for showing in the vegetarian version and I did one of mousse cake with mirror glaze. My glaze did not turn well by seeing ur video I learnt well and I will try next time and I will post you the pics and I need help in using chocolate for the glaze
Show-stopping is a good description. :) Who wouldn't want to eat one of those! I think the gold Luster Dust techniques add so much to the cakes. My favorite is where you mixed the gold liquid in with the red mixture.
Some day I hope I get around to trying a vegan version. It sounds like the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate are the only things that make it non-vegan. Luckily, there are recipies for the vegan versions of both of them on RU-vid already. Thanks for these recipies, Gretchen!
omfg thank you so much Gretchen 😍 i made a mirror glaze mousse cake once and it was coffee flavored and i covered the whole thing with a chocolate mirror glaze and my family loved it :) I always wondered how you would make a colored one, can't wait to try yours :) im so excited omfg
These mousse "bombs" look so fancy and tasty! I have always been hesitant to try the mirror glaze, but I might have to give it a try. Thanks for demystifying it! Yum!
GRETCHEN....THANK YOU!!!!! VEGANIZATION OF THE MIRROR GLAZE!!!!!!! I can tell you that is what I was hoping someone would find. I have a friend who is vegan and loves the effect, but the gelatin worried her. BTW, I was hoping you might do a tutorial on how to take recipes that are for one size pan and make them into other sizes. I have tried to do this with some (little) success for a multi tiered cake for a wedding that I have been practicing for August. Some were fine while others were not done fully. I rely on you, dear baking Goddess. (props to a fellow NJ native).
Great! thanks and you are welcome too! I have that request on my SHORT list since you are not the only one asking. I was planning to do an in depth wedding cake tutorial with the conversion of the pan sizes & recipes with that, but IM thinking I should keep them separate, at any rate- I am going as fast as possible! LOL thanks again!!
That would be so GREAT!!!! -bows to the great one lol- Also have you seen anyone else do the mirror glaze on a regular cake with either swiss/ Italian/regular buttercream? I'm not comfortable with moose yet and the jelly filling is a bit much sugar for the person that I want to do it for.
You can use the mirror on regular cakes for sure! I actually preferred the raspberry filling but I ate the gelee alone! It was like vegetarian gummy fruit snacks! LOL
i am soo glad that u reply to.most of the comments ... i love ur channel ... going to start my channel soon . plz wish me luck . :* lots of love from india ♡
I'm gathering my supplies to make this :) ur recipients r always a hit with family and friends :)Question....can I use the Lindt chocolate bars or the baking bars ....or does the chocolate that I use must b specifically couverture chocolate...thank u
great! You can use a high quality baking chocolate Lindt should work - click here for more info www.gretchensbakery.com/how-to-temper-chocolate/ (dont be confused though you DO NOT have to temper the chocolate, but this article /video gives alot of info on the differences of baking chocoalte vs eating chocolate)
WOW WOW WOW!!! This video made me subscribe! My favorite finished look was definitely the last one where you added the gold into the glaze then poured it over the mouse. Perfection! Since I don't like coffee flavored anything, would I still make the mouse the same way and just omit the coffee? Could I add Amaretto, Irish Creme Liquor, or Kahlua where the coffee was added?
YAY! woohoo! thanks!!! Welcome to my channel and click here for all the recipes and MORE! www.gretchensbakery.com/ You can leave out the coffee altogether with no changes, no problem- but YES to those other flavors you mention! Awesome!!
That looks amazing!!! Gretchen I would have loved to see what the vegetarian version looked like on the cakes ,was there a difference in the shine or were they the same.
It looks the same. The mirror glaze gets it shine from the corn syrup in the first place and the only difference between agar and gelatin is the temperature it sets at. Agar sets more quickly and remains jelly-like at a higher temperature than gelatin.
Love Love Love!!..... Can't wait to try this! I do have a question, can I use the White Chocolate Chips by Wilton? If not, what do you recommend? Thank You for sharing!
Hi Thanks! Couverture (baking chocolate) is to use- I have had negative results using the candy melts for recipes that require couverture click here for more www.gretchensbakery.com/chocolate-101/
Hey Gretchen! Thanks for the amazing recipe! 💕 I just have one little question. Is it possible that the measurement of the Agar powder for the Raspberry Gelee is wrong? I followed your recipe to a T and it didn't set at all. I then added a whole lot more for it to set. I've worked with Agar before and I've never had this problem. I'm just curious! But anyway, great recipe 👍🏻😀
Hi thanks for the comment, it is possible that the strengths of agar are differrnt, as one other person said the same, however others have had great results
subscribed as soon as I saw the vegan version of mirror glaze getting produced. If it's not too much to ask can u show the use of different color variants for mirror glaze
Hey chef thnx for all your vids. I just wanted to ask a question fer ya. Ok i use the same vanilla extracts u do. Nelson-massey brand. They are expensive as heck. I was gonna make my own i know they don't go bad but how long should i age them? Thnx ahead of time.... What would be the best alchahol to use? How many vanilla beans is best to use in say a half gallon masson jar?or may do them by the quart jars. I'm saving my bottles my extracts come in as well to use when i wanna put the finished product in something.
Hi Gretchen... Thanks so so much for the vegetarian recipe... Super excited to try it out :D :D Btw, i just wanted to know if it would be okay to use glucose syrup instead of corn syrup!!!
Hey Gretchen, I followed your gelee recipe only I used cherry puree. I have my tiny domes in the freezer and they won't freeze. They are super sticky. They taste amazing. Any thoughts as to why they won't freeze?
Do you have directions for making the mousse not using the agar? you have directions for the other recipes, I dont see the ulternative in the mousse recipe. thanks this sure looks beautiful and yummy!
sure! Good question! I will definitely update the blog post for those not wanting agar (Its basically a straight up switch to gelatin same quantity- only gelatin gets bloomed in cold water) Thanks!! Ill update NOW www.gretchensbakery.com/mirror-glaze-recipe-vegetarian-version/
ehy!!! finally i found i vegetarian recipe of this amazing glazed but i can't open your website from spain and i don't know why!!!! can you please help me?!!!!!!
Do we have to use coverture white chocolate? I make my own vegan white chocolate and would like to use it.. also have you seen/used sweetens condensed coconut milk?? Would that work? I really want to make a vegan mirror cake, could you PLEASE make a (vegan) video???
Yes you can use your own, yes to sweetened condensed coconut milk, since Ive transitioned my channel to vegan I have recently updated this recipe click here www.gretchensveganbakery.com/raspberry-linzer-mousse-cake/
Saw your video on mirror glaze for cakes. Question: I am a vegetarian Can't get agar agar anywhere and I am trying to put it together by nov 7th. So kind of last min. So the only other option seems vegetarian version of Jello for example Bakol Raspberry jel. What kind of changes will I have to make to get similar results? The cake is white chocolate raspberry .I don't want it to be too sweet either. Can I omit sugar as condensed milk and white choloates are sweet anyways plus the flavored jel has sugar in it too Thanks for your help
click here for the recipe (you can use dark chocolate in place of the white no other changes) www.gretchensbakery.com/mirror-glaze-recipe-vegetarian-version/
