Instructions
- Galaxy cakes have exploded on Instagram, but making the mirror glaze on top can be tricky. We created this easy version using store-bought frosting instead. Place a round layer cake on an upside-down cake pan set on a baking sheet and cover with a thin, even layer of white frosting. Tint 2 cups frosting dark blue using gel food coloring, then tint another 1/2 cup teal, 1/2 cup purple and 1/2 cup royal blue. Microwave the dark blue frosting in 30-second intervals until it’s very runny, then repeat with the other colors. Working quickly, pour the dark blue frosting over the cake to cover completely, letting it drip down the side. Drizzle a few lines of the other colors over the cake, then smooth over them with an offset spatula. Using a small pastry brush, splatter the top with white food coloring, sprinkle with edible glitter and let set.

This recipe is so yummy and perfect it is just a little bit hard to do the top
yum! This cake looks and tastes Stella!!!
This is okay for a quick, easy way to produce a decent effect; but if you want the true galaxy mirror glaze everyone is raving about it isn’t just done with melted icing! That’s why this cake is dull and translucent even though it has the marbled colors… the real deal combines gelatin with white chocolate in the glaze to get that real shine!
Would like to see a video of you doing this….
This is a beautiful cake and it is delicious too!
I like it but I’ll be watching
It seems very informative and colorful.
