Hi,
Does anyone have a good idea or technique for getting the "mesh" look that you see on sneakers? I'm going to be using fondant and I'd really like the shoes to be as realistic as possible, but not sure how to get that look. I've considered piping it on, but that's going to be time-comsuming and when I go to paint it, it's going to break.
Anyone successfully do this before?
Thanks!
What about using a piece of plastic canvas with big holes and just set it on top of the fondant at an angle and roll over it? Then cut out the pieces and put them on the cake in sections.
for the mesh look on my shoes i took like a tip #5 and imprinted close circles, it kind of looked meshy!!
Use an onion sack. You know, the red ones. Cut it open, wash it, let it dry well (don't want water on your fondant.) Roll your fondant out, dust with a little powdered sugar, place onion sack on fondant and roll over it with your rolling pin. It makes a great impression! I also use this to impress a texture on basketballs!

Things I would never think of using! Thanks for the tip, I'll have to remember this one.
Maybe you could use a mesh strainer to imprint the fondant? That might give you a look that's close to what you need..
That's exactly what I would use, the mesh strainer, it makes a great 'mesh' imprint.
Good luck
