Fondant Shine Glaze
Hi Everyone!
So I was doing a Chanel purse cake the other day and thought to myself..."How can I make this purse look real?" Then it hit me... Make the fondant shiny so that it looks like real leather. As I searched frantically over the internet for tips on how to make fondant shiny, all I found was to apply steam to the fondant. Well it was 3am and I did not have a steamer at hand so I did the next best thing.
Fondant Shine Glaze
¼ cup - Corn Syrup
¼ cup – Clear Vodka
By mixing equal parts or corn syrup and you make a little bit of a glaze paste. The glaze is then applied to the fondant with a brush, and when the vodka evaporates, all that is left is the corn syrup, making the fondant look shiny. This glaze is great for when you want to add a "wet look" effect on any cake or cupcake. The alcohol will not affect you in any way and it is completely flavorless.
