Have just heard about this "mat".

It sounds great and I'v just watched a video of it online being used by a professional.
Just wondered has anybody here used it and is it all it is cracked up to be?

I love it, but you do have to season it a bit first before you use it. Other than that it is wonderful. Hope this helps you.

Thank you for your reply.

I saw it advertised atr £24.99, think that seems a little expensive though

I love mine, the fondant goes onto the cake perfectly every time.
I also love being able to store the fondant between the layers and deal with my 1 year old without worrying about it drying out. I highly recommend it

Thats really good thinkin, I suppose you could have your fondant ready rolled the day before.
I still think £24.99 is a lot for two sheets of plastic

Thank you for your feedback

My daughter gave me one for Christmas. I used it for the first time to make my "peacock cake". It was awesome. I love it.

Love mine! Makes covering large cakes so much easier.

I thought the same thing about the price, it seemed a bit much for some plastic. but I decided to bite the bullet and try it out. I would pay the same again in a flash. No more messy counter tops, so less cleaning up after rolling out all that fondant just roll up the mat and put it back in the container it came in.. EASY!.

I bought it and bringing it to canada cost me over $30 by the time I was done. It was so worth it! Fondant rolls so much nicer with no drying and i hardly physically handle it which is even better for food safety issues. I would definitly buy another if the need arrises! Consider it the best $25 you could spend on a little extra stress relief.

I missed who is this made by and where do you get it? I would like to check it out. Thanks

Get it at Sweetwise.com I love mine!!

The Mat is worth every penny you pay for it!!

What did you have to do to season it?[/quote]

Rub a bit of Crisco on it, then wipe it off. I think mine had instructions when I received it.

I bought my mat at Sweetwise.com it is a wonderful web site and her Youtube video's are awesome!. Season the mat with some Crisco and wipe it off with a lint free cloth and it should be good to go. remember to roll it up and tuck it away where it can't be crushed. Creases are bad in the mat.

Thank you everyone, maybe I will invest in The Mat after all.

What would I do without these forums, so helpful.
