A week ago I was making a stunning "Turtle Cake." When the dessert was at the final stage — pouring chocolate glaze over the assembled "turtle" — I realized to my dismay that I had no chocolate in the house and it was too late to run out for it. But I didn't panic; I decided to replace the chocolate glaze with a cocoa one. You're probably wondering how to make it, so let me share this simple recipe. Start by grinding sugar into powdered sugar in a coffee grinder or blender. Then sift the powdered sugar and the required amount of cocoa through a sieve — it's best to do this a couple of times. Add hot water (or milk) to the mixture and stir quickly until smooth and uniform. After that, you can add a little butter, which makes the glaze shinier. Once the glaze is ready, spread it over whatever you're decorating.
