how do you make fondant shiny? ive seen the cake boss use a steamer.

I have used a steamer or edible lacquer spray or you can smoothe a little shortening over it.

if you use a steamer will it stay shiny? does it make the fondant gummy? im afraid lint and dirt will stick to it.

No it does not get gummy and yes it dries.

thanks for the info. I made a giant krabby patty for my 7 yr old neice and dont want to screw it up.

I heard pam works.

To make fondant shiny you can either use lacquer spray, americolor bright white kneaded into the fondant, airbrush bright white onto fondant, or steam the fondant you have many options!
