I'm seriously considering purchasing a pasta machine (manual) for fondant. What brands do you recommend? TIA

I had the manual one from Hobby Lobby...it was a clay roller. Hated it, but a lot of others on here swear by it. If you have a Kitchen Aid...I HIGHLY recommend just spending the $60 or so and buying the pasta attachment. It's wonderful!

I too bought the cheapie on from Michaels, TOTALLY regretted it. I ended up buying the Kitchenaid pasta roller and adore it. Save yourself the initial waste of cash and buy the KA.

I also had the glay one from Michaels and hated it. DH got me the one for my KA and I LOVE it. So much easier then trying to turn a handle and maipulate the fondant.

I also had a manual roller and hated it. Didn't work well enough to use. Total waste of money. Just got the Kitchenaid attachment and it's awesome! My advice is if you can't afford the KA right now to just wait until you can. For me buying the manual roller was just throwing money in the garbage.

I just looked and you can buy the kitchenaid pasta sheet roller for $61 w/tax and shipping on amazon.com. Not too shabby. I think this gal is going to get one for herself. Woot woot! : )

How big of a piece can you make? I've been looking, and it seems to me that you would only be able to roll out a small rectangle with the KA pasta roller.

Approx. 6" wide and as long as you want (or can handle).

That is a great price on Amazon, I am going now to take a look. I have the little manual one & have had a lot of use out of it but have wanted one for my KA for a long time, was actually saving up to get one from Maceys (the only shop here that has them) $193.00!!

I've been thinking about the KA attachment for a while. Previously, when I looked here for input, I thought I came across a post to prep the roller when using it for the first time and to keep it exclusive to fondant. True? Any tips?

Thank you all for just saving me $20 at Michaels on the clay roller!

Now I'll just have to save for the KA attachment.
