Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

I have used Squires confectioners glaze. Its good to get a real glossy finish.

Thanks !!

Hi Jean,

Glaze or lustres are best. Vodka would just evaporate - well it does in my house 🙂

Hi Jean,

I used good old veg oil ,i use it all the time its cheap and works a treat.I used it for ps3 and designer shoes to make them look paton .

Thanks Paul - I thought that but I've heard people suggest this :-S

It;s the wine that evaporates in this house - just as well the bottled for the cake will be an empty fondant one !!

Jennifer:  That sounds nice & easy - but will it not be greasy ?  This is a wedding cake so I don't want it to be greasy :-S

Thanks

Thanks for all your answers - i found a great wee helping aid - clear piping gel, slightly watered down with a touch of water and some almond extract 0 worked a treat 😀
