Reply to "Sheen on Cookies"

WildflowerGobbler

I was pondering the rubbing/buffing, but I'm not sure if my icing dries hard enough for me to put much pressure on it. (I like a somewhat moist cookie.) We need a super soft polishing dremel attachment, lol! I have noticed that my glaze dries much shinier, and thought of trying to paint or drip a little on top of the royal icing where I want extra shine, such as a window pane or glasses.

What do you think of a quick pass over a flame? If heating the sugar makes it shinier, it might be just the thing. Maybe while it's still wet, just a little bit dry/set, or after it fully dries? An unscented candle could work. It should heat just the top layer of the the icing, not the cookie. Or we may all be eating melted cookies while we wait for the fire alarm to stop going off. Again. Anyone out there have a creme brulee torch? Bwaaaa ha ha fire!

(My daughter is 14, and has banned me from playing with fire anymore, lol)
