How does the mat do with marshmallow fondant?

I used only on the regular fondant and It worked only the first time and the rest was a mess. And I used a satin fondant one of the best.

I only make marshmallow fondant and I had to do a wedding cake and it was incredible I have other mats but they are not as big as this one. I bought this one because it was big enough to roll the piece of fondant to cover the biggest square cake I was impressed how easy it was to place the fondant on the cakes as well. This was my first wedding cake and it turned out great thanks to that mat

Hello Tatiana, what do you mean like a sponge? Also what brand of fondant are you using, not all brands works with the mat.

This is pretty thick. I only use it to roll out fondant. You can't cut on this mat though because it's rubber and cutting on it will destroy it.

I have the Simple Home Creations 16 x 11.5" mat. Works fine. It has 12 circles, 1.5" in diameter, and 1.5" apart. I don't use the circles because I try to get more than 12 of whatever I am baking on the mat.

I have not yet had any problems with the mat sliding around while using it.

The Pro Mat is the same product. The one you referred to as the "ultimate fondant application system" is "the home" sized mat. It Pro is simply the biggest mat available in size. I have used it to apply MMF and LMF and both have worked amazingly!

I have only placed something really hot on it one time but grabbed a mat to put under it. For that short time it didn't hurt it but I always put a mat under my hot items on my counters also. But very easy to do. I really like mine but I needed the extra space.

I couldn't tell either, so I tried rolling out a small amount of fondant, and then I could tell by the fondant - if the fondant was shiny, that side of the mat was shiny, and if it was duller, that was the matte side. Then I did the same thing as another commenter and marked it in the corner with a permanent marker so I wouldn't have to guess anymore.

Hi, I bought and used this pan. Love t. To let you know I you use fondant the cake should be delivered or used that same day. I found that it will slip down. I also kept mine in the fridge to keep it firm. I worked somewhat. My problem was that the people changed the deliver date by 2 days so it slid. I also followed the directions to coat the inside the old fashioned way. Crisco and flour. It came out perfect. I hope this helps. Sandi

I use an exacto knife on mine, I use for cutting gaskets and for cutting out stencils. Isn't fondant cake for decorating cakes? I'm not sure if this mat is food safe, you'd have to contact the manufacturer about that. This is a very nice cutting mat though.

I used it only on paper... I don't think this Will Work on fondant since it might get stuck

I have it in a "moveable shed" that is 12' X 28' and the rubber mat is awful heavy. I drive a car on it and put 12"x 24" plywood boards under where the wheel stop. I have slid the plywood back by wheel traction. The mat has never moved. The mat is flat at the edges. I bought plastic trim to edge it and that keeps the water inside the mat.

The mat works fine for me over a more-or-less standard apartment quality fluffy rug. It does not slide as the hard mats tend to do (and costs less) and when I lift it to clean, the carpet below seems untouched after being vacuumed - in fact, it will eventually show how bad the rest of the rug may need to be cleaned. The plastic knobs on the underside grip the fluffy carpets without any aparent damage.

I tried to use it with sugarveil but the impressions on the mat weren't deep enough to support the sugar when you try to peel it off and it all broke apart. You need the silicone mats

I do not have an Artisan mat, only a silpat. Mine does not have tiny holes in it. I bake everything I can on it and pop it on the top shelf of my dishwasher. Because I like my chicken, pork, and fish crispy, I brown and then bake on low oven to finish. Cookies turn out perfect, unlike days in past where they were a little browner or burnt where I could taste it. LOVE MY SILPAT and have bought for all my family members along with nice cookie sheet and cookies as gift for Christmas.

I agree with 2 or 3 inches more. You have to measure the top of the cake you want to cover plus twice for the sides. So for example, let's say you had a cake that is 8 inches in width and 4 inches in height. You would add 8 + 4 + 4 = 16. But then add 2 more inches for a total of 18 inches of rolled out fondant. As for using the mat to apply the fondant; After you roll out your fondant on the mat to the desired size, gently roll the mat up from one end to the other into a tube shape. Then put your fingers in each end of the mat/tube and starting on one side of your cake, start unrolling the mat and draping the fondant across to the other side. I hope I explained that well enough...LOL Also, if you are new to fondant, I would advise you to avoid the Wilton brand fondant as it is not very friendly nor is it remotely tasty. I personally like Fondarific and Satin Ice, both of which are available here on Amazon. Hope this helped! :)
