I really like the diamond pattern on the sides of a cake but I seldom use fondant. Is there a particular recipe for a bc that I can use with a mat or is there another method or techniques to make the diamonds?Thanks

use a crusting buttercream. I've heard some people suggest dusting the mat with cornstarch or powdered sugar to prevent sticking. You can also imprint the diamond pattern with a diamond cutter. I've also seen people use a knife or pizza roller and a ruler to apply the design.
