Shine on: New mirror glazes bring ease to popular desserts

For commercial pastry chefs, every day is a balancing act between efficiency and perfection, and any tool that can ease this tension is an invaluable kitchen asset .

Queen Professional’s new Ready-To-Use Mirror Glazes offer a game-changing solution that delivers beautiful, high-shine dessert finishes without the hassle of traditional preparation methods.

Unlike traditional glazes that require precise heating and temperature control, Queen Professional Mirror Glazes are ready to use straight from the jar. Simply shake, pour, customise with your preferred colour or flavour, and apply. No heating or additional water required—making it an ideal choice for busy kitchens looking to save time while still impressing customers.

Angelica Iuliano, seasoned pastry chef and Queen Professional Ambassador, has experienced first-hand how these glazes streamline her work. “In a high-pressure kitchen, I don’t have time to worry about temperature or reheating,” she says. “With Queen Professional’s Mirror Glazes, I can create beautiful finishes quickly. They’re smooth, shiny, and reliable, so I know my desserts will look incredible without the extra fuss, whether they’re created by me or one of my team.”

Queen Professional’s range includes three versatile options: Neutral, Glamour, and White. The Neutral glaze is a clear, glossy base that enhances the dessert’s natural beauty, while the Glamour glaze, with its edible glitter, adds a luxurious, starry effect. The White glaze provides a pure, opaque finish, perfect for creating bold, standout designs. Each glaze can be customized with colour and flavour to fit any menu.

Made in Australia, all three glazes meet a variety of dietary needs as they’re  gluten-free, vegan-suitable, contain no artificial colours or flavours, and have Halal and Kosher certifications.  They’re also freeze-thaw stable and maintain their shine in display cabinets for up to five days, ensuring desserts look just as appealing from prep to presentation. Available in 1kg and 5kg packs, the product suits both small and larger-scale operations.

Angelica highlights how adaptable these glazes are for various dessert types, from frozen mousse cakes to parfaits. “They’re my go-to for so many of my most popular desserts,” she says. “I know I’ll get a consistent, glossy finish every time, and my customers love the visual appeal. It’s a product I trust to elevate my work without slowing me down.”

For chefs striving to balance efficiency and elegance, Queen Professional Mirror Glazes deliver a perfect solution. This ready-to-use range empowers chefs to bring out the best in their creations with minimal effort, helping them focus on crafting desserts that shine.
