Avoid Impression Mat Imprint From Stretching Or Rubbed Out?
Decorating By cakesrock Updated 25 Mar 2011 , 11:12pm by Renaejrk
I want to use an impression mat imprint to cover an Easter egg shaped cake. Whenever I put the fondant on the cake, the design stetches or gets rubbed out (can barely see it) in the smoothing process. Is there a way I can do this and avoid this happening? It will ruin my cake!
TIA
Use a piece of soft foam, (like the pink foam from the wilton's flower stuff) when smoothing. It will allow you to press and smooth, but won't smoosh out the design.

Thanks - excellent idea!
I have seen some decorators do the impressions after the fondant is on the cake - you just be able to have counter-pressure on the other side if you are doing sides, etc.
