I just had to write to tell you about my experience with The Mat. I used it for the first time yesterday and it was a large 14" round cake. I have to tell you, it was absolutely wonderful. I followed the instructions in your video and it really works exactly as advertised. I make many fondant cakes and I love making the flowers and decorating them, but I always dreaded covering the cake with the fondant. But not anymore. I think your product is fantastic and I wish I knew about it a long time ago. It would have definitely saved me a lot of grief. So congratulations on a wonderful product AND extra kudos for having it made in the USA. I am so pleased.
The detail in this mold is extraordinary! This mold is so flexible, your flowers will come out with every petal in shape. The mold is so realistic, and best of all, nothing sticks to it!! This mold is very soft and flexible and can easily go from as high as 450 degrees to the freezer without affecting the mold! Kathy's Tip: Be sure to make your gumpaste ahead of time (by adding Tylose Powder to your Fondant), wrap it up and let it sit for 20-30 minutes so it can firm up slightly. Then force it into the mold with the back of the Fondant Knife, and it will come out much more easily, without stretching. Using the Fondant Knife allows you to force the gumpaste into every tiny little detail, and then letting it sit in the mold for just a minute will help it come out even easier.

This mold is resistant to rips and tears and best of all, is are incredibly detailed and nothing sticks to it!!
