Does anyone know how to do a sugar glaze image? I have seen them on some cakes and I really like the way they turn out.

I've not heard of them, but they sound very interesting! Anyone know how to do them?

Is this what you are referring to? I just did this for the first time last nite.

tripletmom, that is awesome!! How did you do it?! If you don't mind telling!

I think what you are talking about is often called run-in-sugar. It's a mixture of powder sugar, water, and corn syrup that is colored. You outline your image in buttercream, then flood in the sugar mixture (like you would a color flow piece).

Run-in-sugar is done directly on the cake and while the sugar mixture will dry some, it is still cutable and does not dry hard like color flow.

I gotta try this! Thanks!!

What is the recipe for the mixture of sugar, corn syrup and water. I don't want to mess up a cake

Beginner and wanting to learn.

Thank You

Recipe for Run-In Sugar:

1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp light corn syrup (called Karo in the US?)
enough water to make it 'run' but not 'runny'

You just need little amounts to do your run-ins. I coloured about 1 tsp at a time and put them into snack bags. When I needed the colour I snipped a tiny corner off and used that. Makes clean-up a breeze.

Thank You
