Vanilla cake with mirror glaze

Description

The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. You can make the mirror glaze in a single color or multicolored using food coloring. Prepare the glaze last, once the cake and cream are ready. Mirror glaze differs from regular glaze and is slightly more complex to make. Enjoy the cake after the glaze has set. Serve with tea or coffee.
