I made a fondant spider tonight but I have some corn starch on it. I remember hearing something about a paintbrush & water? Or something else? I just don't want to do the wrong thing!

Thanks! icon_smile.gif

A paintbrush and vodka will work better than water. If you don't have vodka, use clear vanilla extract. You can also paint it with a mix of black gel color and vodka for a more intense shade of black.

I agree, vodka would be better as the alcholo evaporates but water might make it a but soft.

I always have vodka in a sqirty bottle to spay over gumpaste to get rid of any unwanted marks left by cornpowder or icing sugar. helps in a spray bottle so that you dont apply presure to the figure and break it.

I also brush it with Crisco. Leaves it nice and shiny. Don't use water - makes it "gummy". I put the Crisco in my palm to warm it a bit while brushing.

Is it separate from the cake? Simply steam it lightly over a pot of boiling water, tea kettle, or clothes steamer.
