I am looking for a recipe for "chocolate glacage" to replace the poured fondant which is too sweet for my taste. It's important that the glacage will solidify after covering the cake. I understand recipes which include gelatine will not solidify? and recipes which include "pate a glacer" are expensive because of the cost of the pate a glacer? Any suggestion for a happy medium?

1 part 33% cream

1 part chocolate

 

Basically, a ganache

 

Sets up loverly, gives off a nice shine, cheaper than anything that comes out of a bucket.

i like using this recipe :

i think its called a lacquer glaze if i'm not wrong. super shiny but solidifies real quickly so you hv to use it when the glaze it slightly warm. yields good results tho', its delicious and cheaper than a choc glaze that uses whipping cream, choc couverture and glucose.

ok so the cream and chocolate receipe...THAT is ganache. a Glacage is different because of the addition of oil and/or cornsyrup. the receipe i have is perfect, well stay super shiny but like any glacage you must work fast

 

Oil (any kind well work) 1-2 T depending on how flowly u want the chocolate it is easier to work with, with more oil

butter 2oz

dark chocolate 6 oz

heavy cream 7 oz

Glacage and Ganache are two different things and two different consistancies, and two different preps.

ChefEDB, is this definition of glaçage along the lines you are referring to?

Usually a glaze or glasage is pourable.
