Hello! Has anyone ever gone to www.pinkcakebox.com what a wonderful site! Anyway the cakes that are covered in fondant have such a nice sheen to them. What can I don to get mine to shine? Do you mix luster dust into the fondant? Do you shine it with crisco? I'm stumped please help.
If I want my fondant really shiny, I brush it with vodka. Shiny, shiny, shiny!!!!
Once you've covered a cake in fondant, take a ball of fondant about half the size of your fist and 'polish' the cake fondant with it - it gives it great smoothness and shine. Alternatively for a high gloss shine paint it with confectioner's glaze.
I looked at the site you mentioned, and the cakes. Didn't find the particularly "special" shiny, but they are interesting. One of the wedding cakes is the most god aweful shade of Poop green I have ever seen!! Who in their right mind would order that??? LOL
Anyway, shining fondant with more fondant?? I will have to try that trick!! I just use the palm of my hand, didn't know there was any other way.....silly me! I learn something new everyday!!!
I like luster dust too for that shiny look, it's my new favorite toy!!
Thanks everyone for all of your ideas! You are all so helpful.
