Duh--

I only just found these things. Good, bad, indifferent?

They look like I would LOVE them.

I love them i used one on a grooms cake the imprint was similar to a basket weave. Very easy to use! I would suggest them to anyone.

I have several--the quilted (Love it, my fave) mat, eyelet lace pattern (is actually a mat for clay), 3 different scroll patterns, brick pattern.
They really make it faster to decorate the cake.

So, do you have to wait until your buttercream is crusted to use it? Where is the best place to get them?

I'm interested in imprint mats too. I heard of ones getting them at Michael's but when I looked I didn't see what they might have been referring to. Can someone elaborate please? I was hoping online wasn't the only source for these.
Thanks!

Yes, your frosting needs to crust before using. You lightly dust with pd sugar or cornstarch.

The only places I have found them is online. Michael's has some mats in the clay aisle but I don't know if they are considered food-safe. They look to be out of the same material.

Is this where I see some cakes that have the diamond imprints on the side? Are the imprint mats what they use to do those? I always think those cakes look so elegant.

I just ordered some from Cakes by Sam. They are sturdy and I can hardly wait to use them.

Yes, those are the ones. I know they also make a metal one that is just 3 diamonds on top of each other, but I would have a problem keeping that one straight.
