i bought these which are supposed to be for polymer clay... im trying to use them for fondant...heheh....my question is do you make the impression on the fondant before you lay it on the cake or after? TIA
Let me know if that works please
Not sure about your question but would love to know as well.
I have only so far used impression mats on buttercream. I think if you are making the design on the entire fondant covering, you would need to do it after it's on the cake. Otherwise, when you smooth the fondant to the cake, you would mess up the design. If you're only putting a "wrap" of fondant around the cake, then you could make the pattern on the fondant first. I hope this helps.
thanks ill have to try it...i did it before i layed the fondant on the cak eand the impression stretched out
Here's a thread on impressions mats:

I just purchased a 14" circular lace mat and a lace wrap mat. I rolled a section first then layed it on the mat and then finished rolling, it came off very easy and looked really pretty. On the molds, I just put a small piece in and work it in the mold and then bend it to release it.
I have a mat and when doing fondant you roll it out then place the mat over it and then use your rolling pin and go over it, make sure you lighty spray your mat with pam so it doesn't stink to the fondant. I have also done this with butter crean by placing the mat right on the cake and using a foam roller gone over it lighty.
