How do I use an impression mat on a square cake so that the lines match up at the corners? And also how do I do it so without leaving the impression of the edge in the cake? Does that make sense? icon_confused.gif
TIA

Sorry I couldn't resist icon_smile.gificon_lol.gif
You just have to place it in the center, then fill in each end.

sugarshack--I wasn't sure how to word that. I see I put an extra "so" in there. Sorry icon_redface.gif When I use the impression mat how do I do it so the edges of the mat don't leave a line? It seems if I press too hard of course the edges leave a line but if I don't press hard enough, the pattern of the mat imprints too light. Is it just a matter of learning how hard to press it or is there a trick to it? icon_confused.gif

Gotcha!

Do not use the last inch or so on each end of the mat. press in everything but that last inch or so. then take the mat off, line up the pattern and repeat....


did that make sense?
