  • To make a chocolate ganache glaze, add heavy cream to the chocolate instead of milk.
  • To make a white chocolate glaze, use white chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
  • You can add flavorings to the glaze, such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or orange zest.
  • To make a shiny glaze, brush it on the cake or pastry while it is still warm.
