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

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 used this fondant for my daughter's birthday cake. I LOVED the way it rolled out and became very pliable, and it tasted SO much better than the wilton stuff. However, when it came using the fondant for cutouts (I had star wars cookie cutters and wanted to use fondant for the shapes) it was really soft. Maybe I had just worked it for too long, I don't know. I ended up using wilton for the decorations. Maybe you could put it in the fridge for awhile before you tried making figures? That might help.

I used my impression mat on buttercream icing. I let the icing harden a little and it did a pretty good job.

While the instruction book says it's only for pasta, it can be used for fondant. One word of advice, though, be sure to dust the rollers with powdered sugar BEFORE you attempt to do this. My fondant originally ruffled.

I believe the pro mat may have the markings on it for measurement. That may be more helpful if you are doing a lot of cakes, and bigger cakes. I'm an amateur at this, and really have had a hard time using this mat. I have never done big enough fondant to make it heavy enough to actually use gravity to have it come off.

No you cannot use this for rolling out anything, It is made of cloth and is designed to proof rising breads. It would stick for one thing and as the other responder said, it wouldn't be secure to the counter. You can find many different pastry matts on Amazon.com, they also have non slip pastry helpers, but don't try the silicone baking sheet as it's exactly to be used for baking and keeping baked goods from sticking.

Sorry, I have not tried that. They do a great job with fondant and gumpaste.

I keep mine rolled out. Don't think it makes any difference once the dough is on it. Haven't had any problems myself, but then I bought it because I have to use the kitchen table and I used to make a huge mess. This mat keeps my flour pretty much contained.

I wouldn't. It is an excellent mat for rolling out dough and other items, but I would not cut on it. I have another rigid mat that I use for that purpose.

No, I used it to cut my fondant and it went through the mat. It doesn't show as bad, however when I fold it I could see where the cuts are.

Yes! That is exactly what I did. I made a cake in the shape of an open book and wanted a smooth surface. I first frosted the cake with a very thin layer of buttercream frosting. I then rolled out the fondant to a nice thin layer and placed it on top, tucking it around the edges. It worked perfectly, was easy to use and everyone loved the taste. I would use it again in a heart beat.

I haven't had any problems, but I use this mat for rolling dough/pastry only. I have separate SilPats for cooking. The only thing I try to be very careful with is using any sort of scraper on the mat. It would ruin it if the surface got scratched/cut up.
