I have admired a pillow cake holding a tiara and I want to do a similar cake for my daughter's cinderella birthday party only with a glass slipper on top. My cake store had never heard of a diamond impression mat. I really want that design on the pillow. Has anyone created that design without the mat? Better yet, WHERE can I get the mat?

I see they have those on the Sugarcraft site. Maybe some one else will know some more sources.

Cakes by Sam also sells them:

I'm pretty sure Earlene's has them, too.

thanks girls. I have one on the way!

You could also use a ruler or something with a very straight edge, if you are sure of your placement. I have done that and it wasn't perfect, but the little mess up was in the back, so it wasn't that noticeable. Just much easier with an impression mat.

Earlene definitely has them.

Thats funny I think the ones they sell on Sugarcraft ARE Earlenes mats.

I have fooled around with the impression mat from Earlene. Some time this week I am going to try again. There are ways to do this with a ruler.

even when i use an impression mat i still go over it with the rules edge wrapped in paper towel to make it a little wider and deeper. the mat is great to get the placement right, but it could be done with out it although i would take a little longer.

I have never use impression mat can somebody tell how to use it thank you
