I'm making a purse cake and wanted to know how to make it look like parent leather??
Thanks
Add water to gum arabic to make a brushable solution to then brush on--let dry--patent leather.

Is gum Arabic...gumpaste? Will it dry ok or stay wet and sticky??
i had created a purse that looked like leather. all i did was lightly rub in some crisco (shortening) into the fondant after i had embosed it. the pic is in my album. seemed to work cause some people actually thought it was real!
Yeah the crisco thing helps a lot, I made a cake with bob marley face but I wanted the rasta colors a little bit shiny...and it worked!!!

No not gum paste. It's a powder in a slim jar like McCormack spices come in--it's just a gum --costs a few bucks.
You can also try a mixture of 1/3 corn syrup to 2/3 vodka, heat slightly and brush or spray on the cake. I used this on the purse cake I have in my photos and it worked fabulously, looks just like patent leather.
