fondant

Once I have covered the cake in fondant how do I make it look shiny again? I think it looks dull from the powdered sugar I used when rolling it out.

Thanks

Fondant Help
by: Anonymous

I am a pretty experienced "hobby" decorator.
Number #1 Don't use icing sugar to roll out your fondant. Use Corn Starch. Much easier to work with.
You can steam, but be careful, too close and fondant will melt.
You could use Luster dust, or Pearl dust. Bought at any cake supply or Michael's.
Hope this helps

I heard professionals use a steamer

To give fondant a shinier look, I've heard professionals use a steamer on the surface. Actionally, I'm an addict of the TV show "Cake Boss," and that's how they do it. Hope that helps.
