Assembly:
Pour half of the batter into eclipse mould, refrigerate 15 minutes. Carefully place the gelee over the cheese, as centred as possible. Pour remaining of the cheese batter into it. Carefully place the crunchy disc and press gently to cover the sides of the cake. Flatten the surface. Wrap the mould in plastic wrap and freeze the cake to set it, at least 4 hours, or overnight.

To use the mirror glaze, using double boiled method/microwave to melt the glaze. Divide the glaze into two-three portions. Add few drops of food coloring into the glaze and stir well. Each lets wait the temperature reduce to 35C.

To remove the cake, gently pull out from the silicon mould. To glaze a cake, place the cake on a cooking rack / 6" (smaller) round cake pan over a sheet tray. With quick movements, remove all the film by using hands/scraper. This will smooth the corners and the surface, and removes the outer layer of ice, allowing the glaze better bond with the product. This trick - one of the possible solutions to problems flowing from the sides glaze. Pour the glaze onto the center of the frozen cake (make sure whole cake is covered), then spoons the colorings glaze on the surface quickly, and used elbowed spatula to smear it. Walk away the excess of glaze using spatula. Being careful not to touch the glaze layer.
