Most desserts require a glaze to look good and have a finished and professional appearance. The same type of glaze can be used for cakes, as well as for cupcakes or muffins.
On the glazes themselves we can easily place fruits, sprinkle on some nuts, coconut flakes, chocolate and whatever else we desire. Here are a few ideas for various types of butter glazes:
To make a Mocha Glaze, you will need 1/2 cup of butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 3 oz chocolate, 1 tablespoon instant coffee dissolved in 1 tablespoon of milk, 1 vanilla packet and a pinch of salt.
Beat the butter with the powdered sugar, add the vanilla, salt and coffee. Melt the chocolate in a water bath, leave it to cool at room temperature and then add it as well. Mix all the ingredients well with a mixer and presto, your glaze is ready.
Our next idea is for a strawberry-flavored glaze. You will need 1/2 cup of butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons strawberry syrup, 1 vanilla, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of strawberry-flavored milk.
The preparation process is the same. Beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, salt and finally add the milk and syrup. Beat until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Red velvet glaze: 1/2 cup of butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tbsp ayran, 1 tbsp powdered cocoa and red edible food coloring. Mix all of the ingredients together, add the food coloring at the end. Stir until the color becomes homogeneous.
For a coconut glaze you will need 1/2 cup of butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, vanilla, 1 coconut essence, 1 powdered coffee creamer packet and 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Beat the butter and sugar and begin to add the essences and cream.
Peanut butter glaze. You will need 1/2 cup of butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 4 tbsp milk and 1/2 cup peanut butter. Beat the butter, powdered sugar and peanut butter well, add the milk and beat again until the mixture absorbs it.
To get a caramel glaze, beat 1/2 cup of butter with 2 cups powdered sugar, add vanilla essence and 1/2 cup caramel-flavored ice cream syrup. Mix well and decorate.
With these glazes you can decorate 8 muffins or 1 cake for about 10-12 people easily.
