Mirror-Glazed Cakes By Ksenia Penkina

WORDS Tracy Greenwood

Belgian pâtissier Ksenia Penkina’s remarkable cakes are works of art.

Top quality Belgian chocolate, real dairy cream and milk, the tastiest fresh berries and crisp biscuits are just some of the ingredients used by pâtissier Ksenia Penkina in the creation of her remarkable looking mirror-glazed mousse cakes.

It takes, she says, some three days to produce just one of these breathtaking confections, as all the elements are made from scratch, but it is without a doubt the shiny mirror glaze surrounding each cake that takes them to the next level.

So glossy that you can see your reflection in them, the glazes are made from a chocolate base and finished off in jewel tones that are reminiscent of polished gems.

Ksenia offers master classes on her website, kseniapenkina.com, so you can learn to make your own.
