Suggestions For A Good Quality Pastry Mat?
Decorating By barleysbakery Updated 24 Jul 2010 , 3:19am by chellescountrycakes
The Wilton mats I bought for rolling out fondant are just not cutting it. Any suggestions for good pastry mats for use in rolling out fondant in addition to other doughs as well?
I have silpats and the Ateco blue silicone mat and the one I prefer is........drum roll............my $2 worth of heavy duty vinyl I bought from WalMart in the craft/sewing department 
I roll all of my fondant on it with just a smear of of crisco.
I roll cookie dough between pieces of parchment, so a mat doesn't matter much.

I bought myself a Wilton mat earlier this year and I also was just looking for a new one cause I'm not a big fan of it. I saw one two Ateco mats both look promising. I just want one that doesn't get fold lines in it and maybe can take a little heat.
Before I had the Wilton mat I used painters plastic drop cloth, it's what I was taught to roll my fondant on. You can get it at places like Home Depo and it worked great for all these years, super cheap. I just can't get it where I live and the piece I have is beaten.
