I tried a new recipe last night. It was for a rum cake. The glaze was made with butter, sugar, water and rum. I only used about 1/3 of the mixture. Is there any way to keep the glaze for use in the future?
Yes, I'm cheap. Now that I am typing this out, it seems petty, but I am disappointed that I created a cup of glaze and only about 1/3 cup was used.

I wouldn’t keep it...I’d eat it with a spoon! 😁 |

I'm uber cheap, I would freeze it. As a matter of fact, I have a couple baggies of leftover icing in my freezer right now, I always seem to make too much.

I have that problem all the time too. I hate the thought of dumping it out but that’s ultimately what ends up happening. I put it in a Tupperware container, stick it in the fridge, and three weeks later I end up tossing it. I just made a batch of coconut sour cream icing that I was going to use on some cupcakes and it was soooo runny it was never going to work. I ended up mixing up a half batch of buttercream and mixed about a cup of the runny stuff into it. It all turned out okay in the end, but I don’t think I’m going to go with that ever again unless it’s just for a filling and not a frosting.

It’s really handy to have for various things. Frostings can be thinned for a glaze, glazes can be thickened for frostings. I freeze it in baggies, small tubs, and icing bags. I all freezes well and thaws perfectly. |

I would think you could freeze it. It probably won't get solid though because of the alcohol in the Rum. But, I agree with KikiPea and my vote is to eat it with a spoon! |

Maybe if your cake doesn't get eaten up the first day, a reapplication of glaze will keep it moist longer.
