The term describes a glossy coating finished on foods by covering with a sauce or syrup. A glaze is a thin, shiny layer applied to a prepared item, often by brushing on or lightly brushing a reduced sauce or syrup so it coats and dries to a glossy surface, sometimes adding flavor as well. This specific glossy finish is what sets glaze apart from the others. A syrup is just a sweet liquid and not the result itself, a coating is any surface cover without specifying the glossy finish, and enrobe means to cover the item with a coating (often thicker or more full coverage) but not necessarily to create a glossy, glassy surface.
