What can I use on a cake that gives it a glossy look. Can confectioner's glaze be used on a edible cake?

There is an edible spray laquer. I've seen it, but have never used it. You can steam the fondant to give it shine. I use confectioners glaze on fondant figures to give shoes, eyes, etc. shine., but wouldn't use it on a whole cake.

Where can I order the edible lacquer?

I've read that the edible lacquer is just confectioner's glaze in a spray bottle.

You can paint fondant with gel color thinned with vodka to make it shiny. It's a little tricky to do without leaving streaks, but it is possible.

I've been looking for more info...I read one place that the lacquer is made from tree sap, and the confectioner's glaze is the secretion of the lac beetle (which I already knew, I read a lot about it before I bought it). So that's interesting...a shiny but very expensive alternative to bug juice

If you decide to buy the spray lacquer, Albert Ulster seems to have the best price.

Price mentioned steaming the fondant. I have a steamer, but I was uncertain if I just steam the fondant or if I needed to apply something to the fondant before steaming. I would like to try steaming my cakes because I like the glossy look.

I've steamed fondant but it's only stayed shiny for a little while. Once the fondant dried, it lost its sheen.

I almost bought from Albert Uster a few minutes ago, but when I saw they only offered 2-day or overnight shipping I cancelled out. $25 to ship a $23 item? I don't think so!

I'm still looking... chefrubber seems to have a decent price, but need to do some more comparison shopping.
