Any Suggestion For An Alternative To A Pricey Fondant Sheeter?
Decorating By Debslynn Updated 3 Nov 2014 , 8:50pm by mattyeatscakes
Just wondering if any of you have found an alternative to the $2000. sheeters that I can only dream about? I'd love something least to help with some of the smaller fondant pieces (maybe 8" wide) and decorations. I've seen that some use pasta or clay rollers. Have you found something that you love?
Thanks!!!
AI found one at bed bath and beyond, I think it was an 8" for $34.99.
For smaller pieces, a motorized pasta roller is good. For larger pieces to cover cakes, get a good, solid, heavy rolling pin made from a solid piece of wood (no handles or ball bearings) and a stepstool to stand on while you roll. If you're short or average height the counters are probably a little too high to give you good leverage, but with one of those little plastic kitchen stepstools you can put more of your upper body weight onto the fondant and it saves your back and wrists when you roll it out on the counter.
On my wish list 
I also keep y eyes peeled on craigslist.

See this is why i love CC! This tip is soooo obvious now, but i never thought to do this! Being a short girl with a tall table (which i hate), fondant rolling hurts my wrist! Doh! Thanks for this possibly wrist saving tip! :)
