i don't know if you understand what i am saying.
if do know how to do it, how do you get it to be straight, even & just perfect.
thanks for answering

Are you referring to the "lattice" technique?

I'm not an expert but I'd go with the fondant embosser and a ruler, hope this helps

I think you're talking about an impression mat. You can find them here.

At the bottom is a cake using the technique that I think you're referring to.

It depends what are you trying to do. Impression mat works great on Buttercream that crust. But they dont work as well on fondant. For that I use markers almost like cookie cutters one. I think is called a diamond cutter.. It looks like 3 diamonds on a row.
