I've never tried to glaze a whole cake with the corn syrup / vodka mixture, but I've used it to glaze large gum paste leaves and it was spotty because I can never get it to emulsify. Also, it takes a month of Sundays for it to dry. The only way I know that you could correct it is to go back over the unshiny places or to use a confectioner's glaze.
Thanks! I really don't know how im going to fix this. I will play around with it and hope something works.

Well, it won't hurt anything to try going over the spots that aren't shiny. It might work.
I am not a scientist, but from my experience painting on fondant with alcohol, it evaporates too quickly to be absorbed into the cake. I don't think that will be a concern.
hey-- cserr4 -- I think you wanted to put this on your other post
I've only used straight vodka over fondant - I used it for giant Christmas balls last year. It's still a little sticky for a while but super shiny. I used it sparingly with a brush. What if you go over it with vodka and skip the corn syrup? Best Theresa
