I Tried Making ROSANNA PANSINO'S GALAXY MIRROR CAKE... How Hard Was It???

Hello everyone and welcome back to my kitchen today. I am so excited because I am going to make a

cake

that until now I have only admired from the comfort and safety of my couch and that is the

mirror

glazed

cake

s which are super fascinating to look at. I see them everywhere, like Facebook Twitter Instagram, it doesn't matter, I just look at them. I'm like, oh, I need to eat it but also prepare it, so what I decided to do was go to YouTube and invite more. I saw the

mirror

glaze cake and it turns out it was actually a fellow youtuber Rosanna Pansino and I saw it once and oh my gosh it's beautiful too, if you don't know you should subscribe to her because she's the cutest. human, this video has 20 million views, there are a lot of humans, but I decided to see if I could follow your recipe and create my own frosted cake, since I have never made one before, wish me luck, be sure to like this video and subscribe so you don't miss new videos every Saturday and without further ado let's get into this so I've created my own little like setup station here with the same ingredients that she's been trying to get as well. close replicas, if not exact, because I wanted to like to follow the recipe as closely as possible, there are no possible errors, so I already have my little cakes already made, it's from a box, I lied to you, so it's all done, That was a process.

So the first thing he did was level the cakes, which we all know is no specialty and it looks like it doesn't end up having four layers. Three hats. The first thing I'll do is level the top of both. the cakes so they're nice and have even layers, hopefully, and then I'll solve this one that's a little bit thicker in the middle so I end up with the same amount of layers as her. I have never used this. before, so this will be interesting, why should I? Yeah, look, I feel like a professional. Stage one, Rachel, oh look, that professional.

Is it bad that she just wants to eat it like it's a cookie? Okay, what's next? now we're going to ice it poop they make my little bit to frost our little turntable here I learned real quick that I didn't have a lot of supplies to bake cakes properly so I'm going to put some frosting right in the center Boop this guy right on top so that don't move and then I'm going to cover this layer with frosting oh no, it's gone there, we're not going as cute as our zanna, but you know what's going to work, do you twist it while she?

It's ice, I don't know if I'm that talented yet, oh no, she's just hanging around, okay, let's try this again, okay, the hips smooth out a lot here, but you know, I got the frosting with so much frosting all over it. Mary's body ugly, very relaxing. I'm quite enjoying this, it looks a little lower on this side, so I'm going to add a little bit more frosting to like this part here, trying to make it even you know, and then for the last layer, he said to give it the lap. so the bottom of the cake is on top like this, then we need to let it cool for about 20 minutes in the refrigerator until all the frosting is set, so BRB, okay, we're back, it's been about 20 minutes and now we're going to move on to the frosting, there's the cake and what it looks like she's doing is first taking the top, then she makes the sides up and down and then we get to the spatula domain, which scares me a little bit.

I also changed the pipe for a round one. I'm already ruining this. I was Rosanna, I make this look so easy and I make it look like my 3 year old has done it right. The boys fill the frosting because they didn't. The recipe doesn't actually say how much frosting to make, so I ran out. I've always wondered how long it would take someone who actually goes to school for this, but not someone who's just trying to get by right now, like how long does it take you to learn how to do this quickly? Because I see this in food now.

Wow. I'm struggling right now. I see people line up like people at food and they just do this because they like it and there's just It's done, but I see some of you in the comments saying that you make a living at Baker's or you're in culinary school by the way. I also really appreciate all your comments, which are very constructive, helpful and encouraging. They are all very kind people. ah, dropping frosting all over the floor, don't let me step on that and I'm probably going to step on it, they're like the tip of my piping is too small for this, okay, let's clean that up now that we've got frosting all over the cake look above now we have to smooth it out and I need to see this part again okay, take this, the offset spatula I'm learning she puts it at an angle and turns the cake okay, okay, let's start with that part don't move the angle Rachel ah, no I have an idea what it looks like, but you'll all see it before I do, he said, if it doesn't look pretty the first time, just give it another go, so I'll do that.

It's not great, it's not terrible either, so she smoothes the top and pushes all the frosting to the side. What I'm currently trying to do. I have to concentrate, oh no, don't ever lift the spatula. What only bad things happen, how come mine? It doesn't look as smooth as hers and it grabs all the frosting on one side of her and picks it up with the end like it's the tip of her spatula. I mean, it's a nice rustic looking cake, wait, okay, I think I have that too like okay. The trick for me, as someone who doesn't do this often or ever, is that I ran this under a little bit of hot water and used it and it really helped with the consistency of the frosting, it just softened everything up and made it a little bit better. more malleable and easier to work with, no don't touch it, you may have had a different consistency for your frosting so it seemed almost nice and light and fluffy which is not what I ended up with so I could have.

It's just been the difference and that's why she needed to heat up the spatula, but now I'm going to let this cool for two hours per her recommendation and then we'll move on to the next step while the cake cools. We're going to continue with creating that almost glaze that will give it a really quite effective effect. I'm really excited to pour it all over my cake, that's going to be the best part, so the first thing we're going to do is I'm going to grab half a cup of cold water that's in the refrigerator. I'm going to pour it into a separate container because dirtying so many bowls and spoons is very important to the cooking process and then I'm going to take my gelatin and pour it into the cold water and stir it until she says it looks like applesauce so it looks like we're next. combining a few things to bring to the stove and that's a little bit more water, a little bit of light cornstarch.

Ah, then, gopai and some sugar. and I'm going to go and put this on the stove until all the sugar dissolves. I also started when I was here, just as a heads up, which is an important step, now it's dissolved like I'm crushing this, so now I'm going to add the flower gelatin, I'm going to talk like solid now and now that it's kind of dissolved, now I'm going Just add some sweetened condensed milk, pour that in and, oh, it looks so good. I know this is all mixed up. I got my chocolate chips here and she was more specific about the type of chocolate.

I guess there are some types of white chocolate that this doesn't work very well for, so I

tried

to get some good stuff and I'm just going to serve this hot. mix over the top of the chocolate to melt it, she recommended buying couverture chocolate, so that's the one I'm buying because I want it to be as close to hers as possible, right, this has been cooling for about three minutes, so now we are. I'm going to grab the little hand mixer and we're going to blend it all together because apparently this is the best way to get the smoothest consistency for the chocolate.

Oh, that looks amazing. I'm going to take my strainer and I'm going to strain the mixture. to get out any clumps, bubbles, that kind of thing, I want this to look like a mirror, okay, now it looks like we're going to divide it into five different bowls for the five different colors to create that

galaxy

look, all the bowls have It has been divided where the colors were. I

tried

to choose colors that were as close as possible to what she had, so in the big bowl we're going to do a little bit of blue and a little bit of black and the other big one We're going to do just blue and then for the three little ones, we are going to make a purple pink and a very light blue, as if I needed a baby spoon.

Here we go, let's stir them all up. Well, now I have both. colors I want I have the pastel in front of me I have a nervous grower guys I'm going to take the bright blue and I'm going to pour it into the dark blue and I'm going to spin it around to give it that kind of very soft illusion

galaxy

okay it's raining time , we'll just lift it up and I'll write all over the cake. Oh guys, ooh, that looks great, it's really dark, I've got my other little colors here. the ones on there are just going to have some purple stripes, oh, I should have made it a little lighter, okay, but that would be more of a thing than just a little bit of pink, which, when you think about it, feels a little weird because because?

Is there pink, but then you see it on Rosanna's cake and you're like, oh yeah, no, that's definitely necessary and I'm just going to take the spatula and I'm going to go over it very, very gently and the spatula will also try to call it a tray, too. I warmed it up a little to make it a little easier. Am I ruining this? I feel like I might be ruining this and then she took a little bit of like a black glitter and squirted it on. and she is a paintbrush. I'm using a barbecue brush, but you know, close enough, right? and she just did this to get like glitter, there's not enough glitter, more glitter, let's see it oh, my phone looks like yours, oh, that's better.

I went a little closer then I have some white paint to create the illusion of stars or not uh-oh boom oh oh I'm doing it oh cool, it's not cool but I like it, I'm proud of myself, that's how it is see from the best guys, it's a mirror, I don't know, it's shiny, it looks more scratched than galaxies, but you know, it wasn't bad for a first try, oh oh, and now we're going to try this cake, will people like it? Like this? like gummy worms melted into a cake no thanks, the miracle. I've decided it's too good to look at, it tastes horrible.

If you've ever made one of these frosted cakes before, send me pictures on Twitter and Instagram. I want to see if the guys have created one before. Thanks Rosanna for the inspiration, go and watch her video guys because yours is 10 million times better than mine. Give this video a thumbs up, leave me a comment below if there are any other recipes you want. I will try it. Thanks so much for looking. I'll see you all in my next video, I love you all.
