I am looking for the chocolate glaze which some call it "glassage". I know it consist of coco powder, glucose, water and gealtin, it's very dark and shining chocolate glaze that is use for coating dessert. Anyone have the recipe? Thank you

Sure your not talking about ganache? Heres one from Master Cook 9 it uses an invert sugar, corn syrup or glucose.

PEOPLE DO NOT USE THIS RECIPE IT IS TERRIBLE.
There is one they used to use at my old job, but I never knew the recipe... it is really good, I hope I can get it eventually. I need it. It is good. It goes on like silk, it is very dark and very glassy and it is good, as well. I'll tell you hhwhat...

Forgive my youthful ignorance but what are the differences in the finished product between ganache and glacage? I realize that ganache uses actual chocolate while glacage uses just cocoa.

Is glacage just used for it's name sake? Glazing and the like?

[Hydrargirum]

Cacao powder - 100-120(depends form quality of cacao)
Sugar powder - 100g
Gelatin grane - 15g
Corn syrup or syrup or glucose - 150g
Bloom gelatine in cold water
In bowl combine sugar powder, syrop and cacao. and slow heat till the mixture become slightly and shiny.
Add gelatin and heat little bit6 do not over boil.
Syrup that i use: 150g granulated Sugar+ water to cover sugar in bowl+lemon acid 1/6 of tea spoon. Heat till soft ball.
P.S. Sorry for english

A Glacage is also used in cooking. It is a blend of unsweetened whipped cream and Hollandaise or mornay, or other sauce placed on top of a dish then lightly browned under the Salamander. Like for example Filet of Sole Bonne Femme.

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.
