Hey everyone!! Can anyone tell me what impression mat was used on this cake by The fabulous Erica O'Brian? I just love it but haven't found anything like this, and I have no idea what to even search for.

Hi JuliaMarie, I use a plastic light cover insert, like for an overhead florescent light fixture.  I got it at my local hardware store.  It looks like really tiny squares/diamonds.  It is pretty cheap and I have had it for years. 

I had the store cut it in two, so I have a small piece for little projects.

AWow that's such a fantastic idea!! Thank you so much for your reply. We don't really have hardware stores that sell things like this out here, but I will search the internet for a piece. Thank you so much for your help :-)
