Cake Boss Decorating Tools 4-Piece Quilted Fondant Imprint Mat Set, Clear

I am gonna be honest, with the price of these i honestly thought they would be very flimsy and really cheap made, but when i got them and seen the quality i was actually really surprised. they're not cheap made at all and would recommend these to anyone that needs guides or embossing and piping a cake. i haven't tried them, but when i do i will update on the quality, but i am sure they will empress me which they already have. Don't hesitate on purchasing these or listen to others that say they aren't any good because they are well worth the 4.65 i spent on them. will buy the other set they offer as well.

I had to make a 20th wedding anniversary cake recently & the customer told me she wanted scrolls on her cake & that I could do them any way I wanted to. I remembered buying this impression mat a while back, but never got to use it so I decided to try it out & I was very happy with the result! I was a bit worried the mat wouldn't work good on buttercream icing since that is what I was icing the cake with, but it worked really well! After I smoothed the cake out I put the mat against each side & pressed somewhat hard all over the mat so it would leave the imprint. After each use I wiped the mat clean to make sure it wouldn't stick to the cake. It peeled off easily without damaging the cake & I could easily see the imprints. I then used a tip #3, with buttercream I piped along the patterns. This size tip easily filled in the lines & dots. I found it very easy to use on buttercream, but I imagine it would be even easier on fondant. I find square cakes are easier to work with impression mats than round cakes, but it will work on both shapes & icings. Now that I tried one of them I can't wait to try out the other patterns!

These are really pretty designs, but I will not be using them for there intended purpose. I took a sharpie marker and filled in the designs, copied them, then shrunk the the copies down to super small scale and then made Styrofoam scratch molds out of them. I will be using these for jewelry designs, so the product as it, is way too big! But they would be nice for baking too.

They work great but the material is thin so you have to be careful with them so they don’t break, but that is refelected in the cost. I am glad I got them and I would buy them again; I just wish they were made with higher quality material. I would pay more for a sturdier material so I wouldn’t have to worry about breaking them, but that being said they haven’t broke.

first I was a bit skeptical about it, because I know buddy is an excellent pastry chef, but I wasn't sure about his products, so I give it a tried and I end up buying most of their product. their are excellent well made, do the work so nicely. he knew the real necessities for bakery. I love this. excellent product!

What upsets me is seeing reviews saying it barely imprints the fondant. Well it’s SUPPOSE TO BARELY IMPRINT THE FONDANT. Than you go behind the finely print with something straight edge and press in those spots. Anyone that makes cakes would know this so stop giving this persons product a terrible starred review just because you don’t know how to use this product!!! I bought this product from this person and made a cake with this product and it came out PERFECT because I actually know what I’m doing.... so yes this gets a 5 star thank you bunches for this it works just fine

I have mixed feeling about this product... It does give a really good impression on fondant/gum paste. The lines are nice and clean and easy to see, but here lies the problem... The length does not go around a circular cake perfectly. It over lapse and does not give you a clean finish. I had to recover my cake and embellish it another way to get the diamond effect I wanted. So if you need it to look flawless don't use this! But if you have decorations to cover up the overlap, you're good to go!

They are flimsy. I wish they were a litter more sturdier. I used it on chilled buttercream. I did go over the lines with a skewer to get the bold look. It does work, not all lines show because it's hard to hold and press at the same time. If it was a stronger plastic i wouldn't have to hold it up. but it did work on buttercream so I was happy. I did know I was going to have to go over it with a skewer so that wasn't a big issue.
