Icing sugar with gelatin for cake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make icing sugar with gelatin for a cake? Prepare the products. For the glaze, it is preferable to use powdered sugar, and not sugar — it will dissolve faster when cooking syrup. Gelatin is suitable for any — both ordinary and instant.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour gelatin into a small bowl and pour two tablespoons of water. Leave it to swell for 5 to 20 minutes, depending on whether it is instant or not. Specify the time on the packaging of the product.

3. Step 3:

   

   While the gelatin swells, cook the syrup. Pour powdered sugar into a saucepan, pour two tablespoons of water into it. Stir with a whisk until smooth.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the mass to cook on a small fire and, with constant stirring, bring it to a boil. As soon as the first bubbles appear on the surface, remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately throw the swollen gelatin into it and mix well. In a hot liquid, it will disperse quickly.

6. Step 5:

   

   Start whipping syrup with gelatin mixer at the highest speeds. The mass will gradually lighten and thicken. Continue to beat the glaze until bright white and thick.

7. Step 6:

   

   The glaze is ready, you can cover the cakes with it. I strongly advise you to wait a bit for the glaze to cool down and thicken even more. The main thing is not to miss this moment, otherwise you will not be able to smear it. But there's nothing to worry about — heat the glaze in the microwave, and it will become fluid again.

8. Step 7:

   

   But decorating cakes with various sprinkles is better while the glaze is not frozen yet, then they will stick and will not fall. This recipe is designed for 2-3 medium cakes or several small ones.
