Hi All
Hope you can help, I am making a birthday cake for my Grandads 80th birthday and just in the middle of icing it. However the fondant (ready to roll) icing which I have coloured has a dull coating of icing sugar on it (from rolling) how can i get rid of it?
I have tried rubbing it with my palm and it does not seem to be working
Any help much appreciated

Are your hands too cold?! Try warming them a little.
If this doesn't work, paint on neat confectioner's varnish (wash the brush afterwards!)0 -
Water is also fine on fondant icing, wet your hands and smooth over.I love surprises!0
