I am making an 8 inch chocolate high heel filled with cake balls and was wondering how to make it look like patent leather? Thank you.

I'll have to check out confectioner's glaze. The steam will melt the chocolate. Thank you very much icon_smile.gif .

She says that she dissolved a little luster dust in vegetable oil and painted it on. It's a gorgeous shine!

I've never had much luck with confectioners glaze giving a good shine but the tip with lustre dust and veg oil sounds good to me. thumbs_up.gif
