Hi- I apologize if I'm not posting this in the correct place. Still kinda new here and trying to find my way around. I think I read somewhere that you can spray your fondant pieces with Pam spray to shine them up. Is this correct? If not, how should I do it. Thanx so much!
I've also heard of people using a steamer to melt the fondant slightly, and then it will dry shiny.
I haven't tried it, but Buddy from Cake Boss makes it look so easy 
Okay, thanx. I don't have a steamer. What kind would you use? I'll probably just use Pam this time. I'm not covering the whole cake, she wants cream cheese frosting, so it's just some pieces that I'm decorating with. Polka dots, etc. Thanx again!
These are all great hints. Thanx, everyone. I've already sprayed them with the Pam, and patted them dry, but not completely happy. Still have fondant left, may just roll out more polka dots tonight. Thanx again!
You can also paint them with a mix of gel color and vodka for a bold color and shine. It won't be a glassy shine, but gives the pieces more of a finished look than leaving them plain.
You can use the steam of a kettle.

Sue McMahon makes butterflies and then she holds them (at around time 5:46, almost at the end of a video) on top of a steaming kettle.
Skirt, you mean the steam from the iron? lol. All of a sudden I had this image of me ironing my fondant, and then I thought again...that's an excellent idea.
