Hello CC gang!
I need some help, I cant figure out how some people get the really glossy look on their fondant, i have tried steaming my cake but it didnt really look as good as it should have. is there a trick to get it glossy or shiny? What do you all do once the cake is done?
I am also wondering how people get their seams together on the fondant not to show, such as when you put two pieces of fondant together for a decorations or bottom rope, how do you melt it or cover it.. cake boss puts all their fondant on in pieces and it doesnt show the lines, but mine does. Please help!
THANKS!!
I SPRAY MINE WITH A VEGETABLE OIL SPRAY (THE SAMS CHOICE AT WAL-MART). YOU MUST READ THE INGREDIENTS LIST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOES NOT CONTAIN WATER, THIS WILL MAKE THE FONDANT STICKY. I LIGHTLY SPRAY ON THE FONDANY THE BRUSH WITH A LARGE SOFT PAINTBRUSH DEDICATED TO MY CAKES, YOU CAN ALSO USE A PAER TOWEL, BUT I PREFER THE BRUSH. GOOD LUCK
You can rub it with Crisco.
I use Crisco to knead the fondant 
what does the confectioners glaze taste like? Is it ok to cover a cake with it? Does it change the texture or the color of the fondant?
now that i think about it, if it's for an entire cake, i'd go with the canola oil method (e.g. spray PAM). i think the confectioner's glaze and 50/50 liquor/corn syrup leaves it a little hard. correct me if you disagree folks!
Yesthe confectioners glaze is something I really dont like using as a cake covering. I prefer to use it in details that I dont have to eat.
