I just saw Cakeboss using a clothing steamer to make the fondant glossy. Haven't tried it so don't no how it works. The other thing is painting over it with clear alchol and when it dries it leaves it looking glossy.
wow thank you for the tip I am going to get pam to put in my next figurine...thank you
You can use and edible Lacquer Spray made by Confectionery
Arts International. I found that Global Sugar Art is the cheapest vendor for us. It is running about $30 a can and does not leave the after taste that Pam or a non stick spray does. Hope this helps.
I steam alot of my fondant and gum paste work with the clothing steamer that does
it comes out great. I love the shine it gives it.BTW nice figurines
I tried steaming and it was nice and shiney but the next day it was back dull again. Not sure if I am doing something wrong.

No, that's what happens for me too.
If I need something really glossy, I paint it with confectioner's glaze.

I'm going to buy some of that but I need something for Thurs so I am going to try the pam method this time.
Thanks everyone. I would like to try the glaze, but I need it for the holiday weekend as well. The Pam worked and I doubt that anyone will be eating them anyway. Next time I will try the glaze. Thanks for the help and looking at my first try at lifelike figures. The only others I have tried were Halloween ghosts and ghouls. Maybe Santa is next! Sooo much fun!
I had this same dilemma last week with a small golf bag and was told to rub it lightly with glycerin...wish I had known about the spraying method, would have been easier than handling it yet again (I was afraid that it was going to crumble in my hands for the second time!!) Thanks for the great tips...I'll keep them in mind for future reference
I actually made a glaze mentioned on here (vodka or everclear and piping gel). You just use the alcohol to thin the piping gel. It looks nice but it stays sticky BUT in a pinch it's pretty. I think the karo might be sticky too, was it?
No, mine didn't stay sticky; but then again I used such a little bit of it mostly on the edges. I really didn't want a 'shine' on it; but just want to give it a moisterer look (is that a word??. I have pictures posted of before and after, if you're interested.
I have a cake due Sat., fall themed wedding. I'm brushing my gumpast leaves with petal dust and lemon extract, but they look very dull. Can I use the Pam on them or does anyone have any other ways to give them a glossy look, don't wont a real glossy look just enough to give them a little shine. Thanks
