One remarkable design.

Mirror Gloss, made for tall cakes.

A beautifully reflective surface brings an unmistakable sense of elegance to modern cake design. Explore the demonstrated application process for creating a smooth, high-gloss finish on tall cakes.

Learn how this striking finish can become the starting point for marbling, texture, florals and other decorative details.

Why it matters: Add a distinctive glossy finish to your cake-decorating repertoire โ€” rather than limiting it to one finished design.

Kintsugi-Inspired Gold Details

Elevate a glossy surface with fine, artistic gold lines. See how carefully placed metallic accents can bring a luxurious finishing touch to marble effects and reflective surfaces.

A technique worth learning on its own

Flowers that look like crepe paper.
But are edible.

The delicate texture of each petal makes this floral technique a standout in its own right. Learn the shaping, assembling and colouring techniques used to turn edible materials into dimensional flowers.

Use them as the finishing touch on a glossy cake โ€” or bring the same floral artistry to other cakes in your portfolio.

03

Develop your own style

Adapt colours, textures and finishing details to suit different occasions, clients and your personal aesthetic.

Your foundation matters

Beautiful finishes begin with a well-prepared cake.

The Mirror Gloss finish can be used with suitable cake-finishing systems, including EKATS Signature Ganache and classic ganache, when the cake is prepared appropriately.

EKATS Signature Ganache offers its own advantages for tall cakes and challenging conditions such as heat and humidity. Different ganache approaches serve different cake-making priorities.
