Oh, I want to know this too. I HATE the cheapo one I have. I need something that really squirts the steam out there.
?? When you use a steamer on your fondant does it stay shinny????? Or when it dries it goes away
I recently bought a $30 steamer from Target that I'm happy with. The fondant looks extremely clean and fairly shiny.
When we steam the items look wonderful and shiny but after a few hours they fade. Is there a trick to making the items remain shiny?
I bought a Rowenta hand held steamer from Target for $30. I've only used it twice so far but it works great!
I didn't know that either! Is the sole purpose of the steamer to make the fondant shiny or does it have other uses?

I like it especially on black and red fondant because it takes away any dullness that you get from using powdered sugar or cornstarch. No residue!
I too didn't know why you steam fondant. I saw Buddy from "Cake Boss" doing this and wondered why. Before I try this technique I have a couple questions, . Is this technique used only to add shine to the fondant?
Thanks,

It seems like it would help lock in moisture to the fondant to keep it from drying out. Does anyone know if it does?
I bought a small hand held steamer from QVC also, I believe Joyca Mangano is the designer. It works fabulous, it just leves an even sheen and sets in all the colors nicely. It really makes a big difference on a finished cake.
