Where can I get a good silicone mat for rolling out fondant? I hate the mat I'm using now. It's plastic and slides all over my counter. I would like something big enough to roll out fondant for a 16-18" cake. The one on cakewheel.com looks great, but it doesn't have the dimensions and there's no phone number to contact the company.

Thanks.

Before you buy a silicone mat, go to Walmart or the fabric store and get a piece of thick clear vinyl and give it a try. I actually prefer it over my silicone mat, it's easier to clean and things stick to it a lot less.

I have thought of doing that Texas rose, because I bought the wilton one... and UGH!!! It moves constantly not to mention wants to constantly roll up on me even though I have had it laid flat for almost 2 months now. Does the vinyl move around alot on the counter? Is there a way to keep that from happening?? Sorry to hijack you post... just a few questions

Tape it down. I have a large sheet of vinyl taped to the work table, with my Wilton Roll 'n Cut mat underneath.

yeah...I like the roll n' cut because it measures.

If it slides....tape it!

Mine doesn't slide.

I keep meaning to find my Wilton mat and put it underneath.

I have a very large Roul-Pat that I really like.

DUH!!! Why had I not thought to tape it down... LOL!?!? It really was quite entertaining to watch me try and keep some heavier things on the corners (crisco, fondant I wasnt using, scissors... anything I could get my hand on at the time) while trying to roll a big piece out with the big roller. Thanx... you guys are the BEST!!!

I have the wilton mat too, and although it isn't great it works for now. I wet down my counter or table then set the mat down. The moisture keeps it down pretty well, no sliding or rolling.

I took a fondant class at Sweet Wise in Nashville. They taught us to roll/press the fonadnt between two vinyl sheets from, I think, a fabric store. The sheets are about 36" square. When rolled, peel of one sheet and lay over the cake, peel the other off. I have the Wilton mat, I like the vinyl much better.

Re: silicone mats, I bought 12" x 15" mats from country kitchen sa. com for $10 each.

These are all great suggestions. Thank you guys.

Debluvs2bake; Thanks for mentioning us (Sweet Wise in Nashville). The mat you mentioned is NOT from a fabric store. We got with a manufacturer and had them create the mat to our specifications. It has a specific surface polish to it that works perfectly with the consistency of the fondant

Would the vinyl be food safe????

I use the wilton mat. My husband taped it to a large piece of masonite so I can store it standing up and have no more "wrinkles". When I roll out my fondant i just put a piece of non skid liner under it and it stays put. I like the idea of the clear vinyl for larger projects, I'm going to try it - thanks!
