What am I doing wrong.
My fondant is sticking to my mat, ripping to pieces, and I can't just figure out what is going wrong. Please help.... I have a cake due in the morning.
Thanks

Are you using crisco on your mat? Dab some crisco on a paper towel, and rub the entire surface of your mat with it. The fondant shouldn't stick then.

I prefer to dust the mat with corn starch rather then Crisco. That way it doesn't get to sticky.

I do both actually. I read some where to but Crisco down on your mat or counter first then dust with powdered sugar or cornstarch.

Works everytime. Just make sure you are generous with the powdered sugar or cornstarch.

I'm with Joanne - cornstarch for me too.

Well, you are in the east so I'm assuming it humid. I'd use a powdered sugar/corn starch mix if I didn't have a vinyl mat...
