GALAXY MIRROR GLAZED 'BOX' CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Prepare the cakes according to the package, or use your favorite cake recipe.
• To make the buttercream, mix the butter, vanilla, milk, and powdered sugar in a bowl with a hand mixer.
• Once the cakes are baked and cooled, place one cake on a turntable. If you don't have one, you can use a plate. Slice the top off the cakes to create a flat surface.
• Place a large dollop of the buttercream on the cake and spread to create an even middle layer of frosting.
• Place the second cake over the layer of buttercream.
• Frost the entire cake to create the crumb layer, creating a smooth surface.
• Place the cake in the freezer to keep cold.
• For the glaze, boil the water, sugar, and condensed milk in a pot for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
• Bloom the gelatin in 8 cups (2 liters) of cold water for 5 minutes, then wring the gelatin sheets of excess water and mix into the sugar mixture.
• Pour the sugar mixture over the chocolate, letting it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften.
• Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the chocolate and the liquid, making sure that you are not blending in air bubbles by lifting up the blender too high.
• Pour the glaze through a sieve into a large bowl to remove any excess bubbles.
• Separate the glaze into 5 different bowls (one medium-sized bowl and four smaller bowls).
• Color the biggest bowl of glaze with black and navy blue food coloring, stir the coloring with the glaze until the color is distributed evenly.
• In the next bowl, add the navy blue food coloring and stir.
• In the next bowl, add the lighter blue food coloring and stir.
• In the next bowl, add the purple food coloring and stir.
• In the next bowl, add the pink food coloring and stir.
• When you are ready to use the glaze, make sure each one is around 90-96°F (32-35°C). Microwave if necessary. Pour the colored glazes back into the biggest bowl of black and blue glaze. Swirl them gently with a spoon.
• Place the cake on a stand over a sheet tray to catch any excess glaze. Carefully pour the glaze over the cake.
• Dip a brush into the white food coloring and fling it onto the cake to create stars.
• Enjoy!
