Can I use this mat for rolling and cutting fondant and um paste

No, this mat is useless. It does not stick to the counter therefore moves all the time. I wished I never bought it.

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.

I have used it only as a pastry mat to roll out cookie dough. I personally did not like it and won't use it again. The dough stuck like glue. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Sure, just be sure to flour the mat beforehand as well as the cookie cutters and then proceed. This mat is very durable and great for pie crusts, biscuits, cookies and more.

This cuts fondant, sugar sheets, gum paste, and supposedly sugar cookie dough (never tried that) directly, mostly to be used as decorations. Its really not meant for making stencils (a regular cricut and some food-safe vinyl/cardboard would work for that). This machine works well for big broad shapes, but not particularly great for fine detail work on fondant and gum paste because of the soft nature of the materials.

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!

Yes - that's what I use it with. Don't use the cutting mat, just put the vinyl sheet in by itself and make sure your cutting settings say vinyl. I set mine to Silhouette brand and haven't had any problems,

Yes it will. I made a double heart cake using fondarific fondant and I had no issues at all. No sticking, no tearing, this mat is amazing. Just make sure you wash it first and rinse and dry it thoroughly prior to using it. Hope that helps (hth), God bless.

You could, but it will look trimmed. The edges of the mat are nicely beveled, so any trimming would be obvious, I believe. I do like the mat, and helps a lot with comfort in the kitchen. I bought two more of them!

I have used them for pie crust and fondant. Fondant works on the same principle. You should have no problem.

Yes. That is what I make and use the mat for. I thought the mat was awesome.

Absolutely, especially if you have a rotary cutter and mat like is used for sewing. That is the kind of edge that comes from the manufacturer. It is a huge mat for rolling out cookies, dough, and pie crust, but could be used for any other purpose where a silicone mat is desirable. My counters are wide because of an overhang for a breakfast bar, so I love the oversize. But you could be very economical and cut smaller sizes from one big sheet easily. I would not think cutting with scissors would work well, however - use a rotary cutter and mat or find someone who has one. hope this helps you.Sharon Absolutely, especially if you have a rotary cutter and mat like is used for sewing.

No,Ive had to replace my mat because of all the cuts i made on it. I would not recommend cutting on it at all.

I only work with chilled cakes and I only use home made MMF and I always use 'The Mat'. I am a beginner but I can tell you that with the mat, my results with fondants are getting better and better. It allows me to get fondant super thin and it saves me from the pressure of having to work fast when rolling fondant.

I haven't tried using it in that manner but it should work well. You may want to avoid cutting on this mat since it cuts easily.

Actually, yes it can. It can also be used for laminated doughs as for croissant and such. I often use mine to roll out thin doughs to make crackers also. This machine has many uses, use your imqgination. No need to go buy a $3000 roller sheeter unless your a commercial bakery.

This is a nice smooth and thick mat. I do most of my big projects on it. By far one of the best. Yes you can cut and roll on it.
