Hello,
It's time to make my other son his birthday cake and this time I'm making the Playstation 3 replica and I have to use the Black fondant. The only problem is that on my other cake "the xbox 360" I used the white fondant because the real machine is white, but the Playstation is black an shiny like black patent shoes. How do I get the fondant to shine ? Is there anything I can add to it? icon_confused.gif I would apreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

you can luster dust it with black and then steam it. If it's on the cake as it would be, you need a little portable steamer to wave in front of the cake to get the steam on the fondant. This will make the fondant shiny.
