Instructions

1) Bake Mini Cakes
• Preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease and line six 3″ round cake pans.
• Cream butter and sugar until pale; beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt; fold into batter alternately with milk.
• Divide evenly, bake 12–15 minutes until a toothpick is clean. Cool completely.

2) Prepare Buttercream
• In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, whisk egg whites and sugar until 140 °F.
• Transfer to mixer; whip on high until glossy meringue holds stiff peaks and cools to room temperature.
• With mixer on low, add butter cubes gradually until smooth, then beat in vanilla.

3) Assemble & Chill
• Level cake rounds. Pipe or spread buttercream between layers, stacking into six mini towers.
• Freeze at least 2 hours (glaze adheres best to frozen surface).

4) Make Mirror Glaze
• Bloom gelatin: sprinkle over ¼ cup cold water; let stand 5 minutes.
• In saucepan, combine sugar, condensed milk, and ½ cup water; heat to a gentle boil.
• Remove from heat; whisk in bloomed gelatin and white chocolate until melted.
• Divide glaze into bowls and tint: one navy, one violet, one leave pale. Quickly stir colors in a pitcher to swirl.

5) Glaze Cakes
• Place frozen cakes on a wire rack over a tray. Pour glaze in one smooth motion, covering sides.
• Let excess drip off, then transfer to serving platter.

6) Finish & Decorate
• Dust with silver luster for stardust effect.
• Keep refrigerated; bring to room temp 10 minutes before serving.

Pro Tips

• Glaze must be ~90 °F when pouring—too hot and it melts buttercream, too cool and it clumps.

• Work swiftly: swirl colors just before pouring.

• Freeze cakes well: a solid, cold core ensures the glaze sets perfectly.
