QUICK CHOCOLATE FONDANT ICING FOR CUP CAKES

This is a really quick and easy, delicious chocolate topping for cup cakes.

2 teaspoons of water

Put the chocolate sugarpaste and water into a plastic microwave bowl. Melt in microwave carefully checking every 20 seconds at first then every 10 seconds (it can burn really easily) until the mixture is a smooth pouring consistency and can be poured over your cup cakes.

I was told today in a cake specialist shop that I couldn't use roll out sugarpaste and water to make a pouring consistency.
Was he right to say that?

I particularly liked the look of this cake but would I be right in thinking this icing gives a matt finish? Of course the sheen of the stars complements the finish here but is there a spray or something that would give a glossy appearance if wanted?
