Gum arabic also works a treat and it's edible. I have seen on other forums that 'Sprink' works really well. The only thing is the gumpaste or fondant will absorb it after a while (hours), so you need to apply it a little before you display it.

Del:

I didnt understand it was for flowers: sorry, i that case i would simply brush some edible laquer on them  (recipe found online), but basically you just put some unflavored gelitine in a bowl with 2tblspn of water, let it bloom to that add light corn syrup and piping gel, microwave and brush it on, when it dries it will give a permanent shine.  I do this on all my flowers

I want to buy confectioners glaze bit haven't found it yet - we brush on piping gel in the meantime. It is nice and shiny but doesn't really dry.
