• if you want to make chocolate icing, then use ordinary chocolate, you should not take porous, as the mass will turn out to be heterogeneous;
• by adding a cocoa powder to the glaze, you can get a beautiful rich shade;
• if the glaze turned out to be liquid and there is nothing to add as a thickener, then you need to apply such a mass with a brush with a thin layer. We'll have to wait until the first layer dries, then you can apply the next and so on.
