auzzi nailed that one. Glazes of that type look great, taste great, have a great mouthfeel and are fairly easy to work with.
The cocoa/gelatin glazes are quick, very easy to work with and produce a smooth shiny finish but are not nearly as tasty and the texture isn't even in the same league. It does have the benefit of being easy to lift off of whatever you're working on once it sets for a couple minutes if you screw up. It sets as a gelee-like layer that will peel right off. |
