I'm working on making a black fondant shoe for a cake that MUST be finished by tomorrow, but the black is really dull. When I started it was very, very black but now it almost looks gray. How I can get the color back to black or even a little more shiny without taking apart the shoe and starting over?
When you're finished you could "paint" it with a little food coloring and some alcohol... I hope that helps a little.
Yea... your best bet would be to paint it like the poster above noted.. Or you could always try (even thought I hate this technique) steaming the cake. That would shine it up!
Thank you so much for all of your suggestions! I tested them all and each gave the fondant a shine and darkened it a little.. the shoe looks so much better now!
