Professional Entremet Recipes

Entremets are French pastries typically featuring a mousse and mirror glaze. Entremets tend to be smaller, light in taste, and visually stunning. When it comes to French baking technique, entremets are the pinnacle of skill. Try one of these easy-to-follow recipes.

Mirror Glaze Cake Recipe and Tutorial

A mirror glaze cake is a cake defined by its glossy coating called “mirror glaze” or a “glaçage miroir”. The mirror glaze can vary in color, sheen, and stylistic effects ranging from the “spider web” effect to the “galaxy mirror glaze”.

Nutty Caramel Georgia Entremet Recipe

This entremet is a masterpiece of complex textures, flavors, and expert techniques to be attempted only by the highly skilled or very brave. This one follows the same structure as a standard entremet but features seven different layers highlighting chocolate, vanilla, fruity, or nutty flavors.

Thai Tropicalé Entremet Recipe (Mirror Glaze Cake)

Mango and coconut are two of my absolute favorites in Thailand. With the addition of Vietnamese lime, you have a dynamic tropical combination that is irresistible. Perfectly accented by a sweet but acidic coconut lime gelée, the bright mango mousse sits on a coconut dacquoise glazed in red and orange for stunning visual impact. This pastry is refreshing, ultra-light and a living showcase of Southeast Asian flavors at their best.

Mango Dôme Entremet

These mango dômes are a bright, tropical work of art to light up the room. Already pre-portioned in individual servings, you can bring them to a brunch or dinner party to steal the show. Further, the glaze and syrup-soaked mango garnish keep the cake fresh so you can prepare this entremet up to two days before serving.

Strawberry Fromage Entremet

This visually impressive strawberry entremet features fromage blanc, a creamy white cheese. The fresh strawberries and rich cream pair exceptionally well, especially with the hint of lemon in the cream. The cake layers have sponge which are soft and airy. Enjoy it for a special occasion after a nice meal.

White Chocolate Mirror Glaze

Mirror glaze (or "glacage mirroir") is a gorgeous technique for decorating cakes. Unlike frosting or fondant, mirror glaze starts as a very viscous liquid which gels as it cools. While somewhat similar to ganache, the gelatin transforms it into something else entirely.

Milk Peach Entremet

Stone fruits start to come into season around the summer and some beautiful peaches have started to pop up in the farmer's market. Blending the flavor of peaches with milky panna cotta balances out the acid and makes for a classic creamy treat for warm weather.

Apple Spice Entremet

This apple spice entremet emphasizes apple and cinnamon, making it the perfect Fall or Winter dessert. It consists of layers of almond dacquoise, apple gelee, white chocolate mousse, and an outer caramel glacage. With a spiral apple garnish on top, this little cake makes quite the statement.
