How Do I Keep The Shine On My Black Icing!
Decorating By andiamo Updated 20 Oct 2011 , 10:17pm by MCurry
Hi,
Please be patient with me as this is my first post. Really getting into cake decorating but one thing I'm struggling with is when I'm working with black icing, when I roll it, i use icing sugar to prevent it sticking but as a result it then fades.
Any help most welcome.
Thanks

Paint it with vodka with a little black food color mixed in, and you'll have a nice glossy black.
I just rub mine down with a little bit of crisco. Steaming it when you are done will get rid of all that extra sugar.
A thin layer of high ratio shortening will do the trick as well. It will look more like patent leather. I would think regular shortening would do the same too.
