After the fondant is made, then add your coloring gel.

That pink cake is really shiny! How did you get the fondant to shine like that?

Once you apply your fondant brush it with water! =)

i think ur fondant is a little bit tacky i suggest u add more powdered sugar

[joneseymomo]

Awww man..... I thought u were teaching me :(

[KubwaNaNzuri]

some people like shiny though not me but some people do to get a marble look

@VoraciousLime no because if the frosting is too watery the fondant can get runny :) buttercreme will harden a little bit in the fridge. that's perfect.

I thought it was just icing or a super greasy buttercream! i suggest you not to put watter once its done, it could look better. But, its not bad.. :)

@KassidyGordon Its just water o-o

[MrJbmurray63]

Idk if u can use both but whenever I want to make a cake that has fondant on it I like to use buttercream cause it will work better with the fondant and the buttercream sets better

Eeew

@HikariHime29 You can also use a bit of Crisco to make the shine really last :)

[VoraciousLime]

Does it have to be buttercream underneath? Can it just be any frosting?

[KassidyGordon]

ew its shiny it looks gross thats one thing to stay away from
