AHi, im new to the forum and new to cake decorating, i was wondering if anyone has used "The Mat" from sweetwise for rolling their fondant?, is it a good investment or a waste of money?thanks in advance :-D
Welcome to CC. You may want to do a search for this topic. It's been discussed in-depth in a few previous threads. I can attest to it working quite well on Wilton's(used for my dummies or test cakes) not so much for Fondarific. Since Fondarific has a touch of chocolate, it tends to stick to the mat. I still use it, however, there's a learning curve and you have to use cornstarch(quite a bit) to prevent it from sticking. It is really great for blending or layering fondant.
If you use Fondx as they do on Sweetwise, I hear it works really well.
its plain awesome!! It really does change the world of cake decorating. Forget the cornstarch and powdered sugar= no cracks/elephant skin on your cakes !! Its a really great investment !!
"The Mat" worked beautifully for me. My daughter's wedding cake in June was not only my first wedding cake, but it was also the first time I covered cake with fondant. I made MMF and used "The Mat" to cover all 4 tiers - 14", 10",8" and 6". I love it and highly recommend it.
AThanks everyone, i cant get fondx here in the uk the make i tend to use is renshaws or the supermarkets own brand fondant, think i might give the mat a go see what happens :-D
