Ok, so I was totally glued to the tv for a few weeks when Food Network's Last Cake Standing was on. I was totally entranced by something that the winner Mary Maher did on the cake she did as a team, the superhero cake. She used a glow in the dark icing. Does anyone know how to do this? She mentioned on the show somethng about the properties of quanine in Tonic Water...Any help greatly appreciated. I would love to use this technique on my boyfriend's upcoming 30th b-day on the 4th of July....
thanx
I could be wrong about this but I think she put the tonic water into piping gel and then applied it to the already completed cake. HTH!
what about the ratio? did she put straight tonic water into the piping gel? was it diluted? i know she had to use a black light, but I would still love to know this technique.
I think one of the supermarket brands has a neon green food dye. I don't know if that would help.
Americolor makes Electric (Neon) colors
Blue Yellow Green Orange Pink and Purple

thanx ladies for responding...unfortunately the "neon" food colors aren't what i'm looking for. instead i'm looking for the way to use tonic water and piping gel...got any ideas like that?

I tried this look a couple of weeks ago. I used tonic water and mixed it with my clear piping jel. It did not work that well. The white piping jel with the tonic water glowed really well under the glack light, but the clear on top of fondant colored in light blue did not really glow that great.
i will have to try that...do you know if it would make it taste differently? bitter or sour or too sweet? or how to counteract that?
