Glazing is used to make the cake look smooth and give it a sweet taste on the outside.
The glaze is usually poured or brushed onto the top and sides of the cake.
Some cakes are glazed while they are still warm so the topping can stick better.
Different glazes can add color, flavor, or even a fruity shine to the cake.
