Critical Success Points

  • Fold the powders into the meringue without deflating it
  • Cook the custard at 90 °C until it coats the spatula
  • Let the ganache cool to obtain the shiny core
  • Freeze the royal for at least 4 hours before glazing
  • Apply the mirror glaze at 30 °C for a smooth finish

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot sugar and 103 °C syrup – risk of burns.
  • Melt the chocolate in a bain‑marie to avoid overheating.
  • Wear kitchen gloves when unmolding the frozen cake.
