Get the right woodgrain impression mat
It helps to get a strong and durable mat that will last for a long time so that your investment will be well worth it in the end. An FDA approved woodgrain impression mat that is also dishwasher safe is an excellent choice. Size is also important when you make your selection of a baking mat. This is because when you are making large sheets of fondant, it will be much easier to roll it out onto a larger sized mat. In addition, make sure to get a silicone mat that is easy to clean and easy to wipe off for storing.
Following the first steps
Prior to using the woodgrain impression mat, dust your work surface with powdered sugar or use our Pink silicone Fondant work mat to roll your fondant on. Take the woodgrain impression mat and invert onto the fondant. Simply start at the end and roll over the mat with your large rolling pin one time to get the impression onto the fondant. Note that if you roll it
more than once, your design will get blurry and loose its effect. The woodgrain impression mat gives the texture of a log or tree. It is commonly used on a yule log cake for the holidays. Carefully peel away the fondant and place over your cake. You may also use your rolling pin to help you lift it onto the cake. Handle the fondant carefully so as not to disrupt the design with your fingers.
