I use a 50/50 mixture of light corn syrup and vodka. The vodka evaporates quickly and the corn syrup doesn't stay sticky like when you use it on it's own. It dries very smooth and shiny. I used it for a shiny black leather look on this Elvis cake. http://cakecentral.com/gallery/2135042

Ollehar, I just brushed the syrup/vodka mixture on some black fondant hydrangea blossoms for a cake due in a couple weeks and it's fabulous. They are like black patent leather flowers...sooo cool. Thanks so very much for sharing this great technique
