Hi everyone,
I have a cake due tomorrow afternoon of Darth Vader. I've taken a Vader make I found, draped it with Gumpaste (used the mask as a mold) and it's been drying for the last few days. I think thinned out some black coloring to 'paint' the mast. It turned out great but now that the black has dried, it's went from shiny to a matte finish.
I don't have a steamer - and I don't want to risk holding the 'mask' over the steam - it's the only one I have and my luck, I'd either break it or burn myself... 
I have piping get, corn syrup, water (of course), cooking spray as a few of my options. What would work best? Party is Sunday, so I only need the shine for about 24hrs.....
Thoughts and suggestions?
Thanks!
Spray Pam into a small bowl and brush it on the fondant. The more you brush on the shinier it will become.
I also use cooking spray. Spray a little in a bowl and brush a light layer over the cake. Works perfectly!
Hmm....maybe the steam setting from a clothes iron? I wouldn't know any other way to 'shine it up' other then a steamer. Not really one for the cooking spray idea unless someone tried it ans can say yes. That's a new one to me. Good luck!
i don't have a steamer and this is what i use! works great! just don't hold it too close for too long and you'll be fine!
