You can also use a little bit of water rubbed onto the fondant.

i wouldnt use the water....water and fondant dont mix well. the water doesnt evaporate fast enough so it eats away rather dissolves the fondant. i would suggest to use a little clear alcohal...white rum (im in jamaica...easy access to it) or gin or vodka. you are not using enough of it to get anyone drunk or to change the taste.

I just use a really light misting of water. Just make sure you put it where you want it the first time or you will have a mess on your hands. It can't be moved very easily/well.
