Strawberry Fondant Glaze

Makes 2 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 3⅓ cups (400 grams) confectioners’ sugar
  • ¼ cup (85 grams) light corn syrup
  • 3 tablespoons (45 grams) water
  • tablespoons (30 grams) strawberry preserves, strained
  • ½ teaspoon (2 grams) vanilla extract
  • cup (113 grams) white chocolate chips
  • Pink liquid food coloring

Instructions

  • In the top of a double boiler, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, corn syrup, 3 tablespoons (45 grams) water, preserves, and vanilla until smooth. Add white chocolate chips; cook over simmering water, stirring frequently, until chocolate is melted. Tint with food coloring as desired.

Notes

*pro tip
If you’re concerned about moving the glazed cake off the wire rack, cut a cake board to the size of the cake and place the assembled cake on top before glazing.
