I need to roll fondant today for bow loops. I use my purple rings on my rolling pin. Problem - 4 year old has taken a ring and I can't find it. Any last minute suggestions? I do not feel confident rolling without my rings. I"m thinking maybe home depot has something??? I checked Micheal's. They don't sell the separate rings! I don't want to buy another rolling pin.
thanks!!!

No I haven't? Does it roll to the same thickness as 1/8"?

I use dowls - you can buy 1/8" at home depot - and put one on each side and when the rolling pin is rubbing the dowls I know I am at the right thickness.

i guess it would depend on which one's you get. there are the round ones and the flat red ones. I think the round ones are 1/8" . the flat ones would be thicker.

I always just buy the dowls at Home Depot/Lows/Walmart (where ever I happend to be shopping and remember I need them). I just get one, cut it in 1/2 and roll away... I use them until my DS finds them and uses them for his own "construction" with fondant. icon_cool.gif

you are looking for Plumbing Washers. When you go to the hardware store, look in the plumbing section, and in one of the pkgs, or trays, you'll see the right kind, and different thicknesses.

thx, been working more on the chocolate side, than the cake side... Now I need inspiration on my first MMF cake, so I'm back at least for a bit.

On topic with the fondat and since I used to work at a hardware store, I thought I'd actually speak up again.

Maybe a thick rubber band would work or double them up.
