I've been trying to make a cake that it's covered with very thin peach slices arranged in concentric circles on the top of the cake. The problem I have had is that the glaze "puddles" in the crevices where the peach slices meet. I tried thinning the jelly with a bit of water, but that just left me with puzzles of thin glaze rather than puddles of thick glaze. I tried dipping each individual peach slice in glaze and letting it drain before I placed them on the cake -- still puddles. Any suggestions?
