I have seen wedding cakes and the purse cakes with the "quilt" look on them. How is that done?

Thanks.

ALSO -- get a drafting triangle (or make one out of stiff card stock)

they come in 45degree and 60/30 degree types.

you can get these in any office supply store.

(if you watch CakeBoss you see Buddy using the 45 degree one all the time to do quilting)

I use this impression mat. You can get it in different sizes.

Patchwork cutters also have one with a little design in the middle.

Then I go over it with a quilting tool.

But I think you can get a cheaper version of the tool in fabric stores.

Jennifer Dontz' copper cutter, best tool ever. It's what I use. Clean lines, and go over it with a wheel, or not, looks gorgeous!

I've also used a tracing wheel (from the fabric dept.)
