Does the writing on the mat come off on your fondant? and can i use cookie cutters on it?

Yes to both, if you use smoother it will smooth out the shadow of the letters and cutters are safe except for exacto knives although you may use them just be careful how deep is your pressure because they could make deep cuts, however superficial cuts are ok because the mat self heals. Hope this helps

For the first question I'm not sure but the food ink can be washable. And yes you can use cookie cutters on this solid mat.

In my opinion it will not, unless you manipulated the fondant before it dried to form the point. That said, it's a fabulous set! I highly recommend it!

The cutters **do** cut smoothly, but that is dependent on making sure your fondant hasnt started drying out. So long as you keep your fondant batch covered while you work with the small amount to prep for cutting, you will be just fine.Im not really sure what you mean (Im having trouble picturing this for some reason)....but they are like pencils as far as the sides of the modeling tools...One of the things I do with modeling tools - where I have big monstrously muscular fingers, I actually put rubber grips on them... the same kind you would use to put a rubber grip on a pencil or pen.... that way I can actually grip it without having very sore fingers.

Not sure really what Fondant texture is like. I know they use it on cake (I've watched Cake Boss). But I don't see why you can't. It just won't be very big sheets of Fondant.

I know about fondant, you are beyond my baking skill set. Once it uncurls and lays flat it pretty well stays put. It is not flimsy, it is a substantial mat. Now I am comparing this to mats I' seen in retail outlets. Hope this helps.

I never use Pam with these. I just roll out my fondant and let it dry for a while, until it gets a little crusty but isn't all the way dry. Then I cut out the letters. IF the fondant is too wet it will stick. Also, I let them dry a little more before handling them so they don't lose their shape.

ummm, The mat doesn't really prevent dough from sticking to it, you still have to use flour. I made a very sticky cookie dough recipe which stuck, so I just used more flour. I just really like the mat because I don't have to weigh down the corners, it sticks to the counter.

Sure can! Lay your cookie dough in the middle, lay the top piece over it and start rolling it out. Take the top mat off, flip the bottom mat over and onto a cutting board; Remove the Mat from the cookie dough, then start cutting out your cookies. Do NOT cut cookies while the dough is still on the Matt. Have you seen the new MAT with the red trim and the measurements imprinted on it? Looks sharp.

I haven't rolled fondant in a long time, but I would think so. Just cover the bottom with a layer of powered sugar so it won't stick. Just make sure you take some tape and tape the corners down. Unless you buy a frame that anchors it to the table. I found one of those recently at a party store. The tape worked just fine for me or a couple of heavy items on the top corners.

soap & water should be all that's needed. I don't know what you seasoned it with but the instructions are pretty clear. If the marks are etched out of the plastic, I doubt it can be saved but if it's on the surface, wiping couldn't hurt. And If your fondant sticks, try a little powdered sugar or corn starch, not shortening. Good luck

DO NOT season the PRO MAT. There should have been a small instruction sheet rolled up in it that tells you just to wash it. The seasoning step is only for the Original Mat to eliminate static electricity. At this point, simply wash it with warm soapy water, rinse well, and dry VERY well- no wet spots or the fondant will stick! Sometimes I even air dry it after that. If you don't get all of the residue off, you may need to wash it one more time, but it should be fine after that.

Unsure of what objects you mean, but I have used mine on fondant, pastiage and royal icing on cookies with great results. As long as you use a light touch there is little bleed thru and the colors are great.

I think that would be a great use for this. (Thanks!) I haven't used it for fondant, but I have used this machine to make crackers. As Amy said, this would be best for fondant decorations as you would be limited by the width of the rollers.

Mom2CP - I have not used the yellow pen and not sure how it would look against the black fondant. Sorry I'm not much help.

Yes you can use these on both fondant and icing. You have to make sure the icing is completely smooth and that you don't push too hard.

yes...but it needs to be rolled out with a fondant roller and it needs to be even thickness in order for it to work and look good....my experience with this product is not good...it is dry and cracks and is difficult to use. I have had much better success making my own fondant.
