Add 100g granulated sugar and 100g (100 cc) fresh cream into a pan and heat. 15. After boiling and melting, turn the stove off. Add the leftover steeped gelatin from step 11 in and let it dissolve. 16. Strain through a fine mesh. 17. Thicken it in ice water. 18. Take the cake out from the refrigerator. Remove the cake from the mold by wrapping a warm, wet towel around it. 19. Pour the green glaçage over the cake. The consistency must be just right or this step will not go well. 20.
