I used to wonder how some fondant cakes look so glossy, after a research I tried these tips and I got awesome results. Let me share some of them with you:
1. Steaming: steaming a fondant-covered cake not only gives it a beautiful shine, but also get's rid off all the powdered sugar left on the fondant.
By being able to clean off the powdered sugar by steaming it, I don't have to worry so much about keeping the cake clean until it's finished. It always comes out looking beautiful.
I hope this helps.
2.Edible vanish:
1 t. gelatin
3 t. water
1 t. liquid glucose
Sprinkle gelatin in the water. Let stand until it becomes spongy. Dissolve until clear over hot, not boiling water, Add the liquid glucose and stir until ingredients are well combined. Pour this mixture into an airtight container. The mixture will get very stiff. To use it, heat the varnish in a container of hot, not boiling, water. Paint onto the item to be varnished while the mixture is still hot. The edible varnish should NOT be kept in the refrigerator.
