Help!!!

I am having trouble, espically when I mix color into my foundant with cornstarch left on it after it is on the cake and also water spot or drips where I glued on my accents.

How do I remove this or what can I apply to the fondant on the cake to give it more of a shine and remove the spots.????

I was thinking of heating up some crisco and water and brushing it on? Is this a bad idea?

I just take a pastry brush and brush it off good. but if you want it to "shine" and don't have luster dust, i believe you can rub it with straight crisco, no water...water makes it sticky.....not sure on the water spots, you'll have to wait for someone else to reply. HTH

If you brush it off with a pastry brush with very soft bristles (I've actually bought a blush brush when I couldn't find a pastry brush and it worked fine). Don't use water, it will make your fondant sticky and cause water spots. You can use some shortening with your hand though.
