Should I let my cake cool before glazing?

Be sure the cake is cooled completely before applying a glaze with a thin consistency. If it is a glaze that needs to be spread, a slightly warm cake will allow the glaze to spread more easily, but if the cake is too warm the glaze may run off the cake.

Does glaze need to be refrigerated?

Although milk-based glazes themselves require refrigeration, refrigeration isn't necessary if you allow it to dry completely on baked goods. The glaze should stay good for the life of the cookies, cakes or doughnuts that it is used on.
