How do you get the white fondant underneath the red rose design to show? Do you have to cut out along the impression to see white thru the design?

You have to put a thin layer of white icing or melted candy/chocolate scrape the excess off then put red fondant over it. I know it sucks as a two part system. The look you want is sugar veil. ! Look up using impression mats in you tube and using sugar veil it has great techniques. I hope that i helped

with this exact set , it is almost immpossible. with the wilton set you can imprint the designs, pull them out and lay them on the base color, showing thru, but with this set, its messy and difficult and the fondant sticks to this really bad, its like garbage-bag type plastic, not silicone, so have fun. i learned my lesson, i pay the extra money and get the good ones. if you do alot of cakes, and like the design, you will use them alot.anyway, instead of imprinting on the cake, place separate pieces of fondant into the design immpression that you want, press down and then pull it out very carefully. piece by piece. the cakes in the picture here was so not made with this plastic set. no way. with this exact set , it is almost immpossible. with the wilton set you can imprint the designs, pull them out and lay them on the base color, showing thru, but with this set, its messy and difficult and the fondant sticks to this really bad, its like garbage-bag type plastic, not silicone, so have fun. i learned my lesson, i pay the extra money and get the good ones. if you do alot of cakes, and like the design, you will use them alot.anyway, instead of imprinting on the cake, place separate pieces of fondant into the design immpression that you want, press down and then pull it out very... » Read More with this exact set , it is almost immpossible. with the wilton set you can imprint the designs, pull them out and lay them on the base color, showing thru, but with this set, its messy and difficult and the fondant sticks to this really bad, its like garbage-bag type plastic, not silicone, so have fun. i learned my lesson, i pay the extra money and get the good ones. if you do alot of cakes, and like the design, you will use them alot.anyway, instead of imprinting on the cake, place separate pieces of fondant into the design immpression that you want, press down and then pull it out very carefully. piece by piece. the cakes in the picture here was so not made with this plastic set. no way. « Show Less

I don't know if all of the "blemishes" are the same for each one but the one I ordered had a bent corner on the third tier. I covered the edges with ribbon and covered the crease by gluing scrap-booking paper to the top of each tier (where the cupcakes sit). As long as you plan on decorating it, you shouldn't have any problems covering up a blemish.

If your intentions are to cover the pan itself with fondant, then yes you could. The detail should show through. The cars only measure 2 inches tall though. Not sure how fondant would look on the cup cake, probably not a lot of detail would show through. The pan is primarily a cup cake pan, Not a cake pan. The detail of cup cakes varies on type of cake batter you use in the pan. I hope this helped.

I personally prefer the Wilton fondant for modeling- it's not so sticky and dries harder. It also doesn't get the wrinkly 'skin' on it. Definitely dust the mold with cornstarch so it doesn't stick and mix in a little tylose powder if you want it to set even harder. Good luck!

Shiny side should be next to the fondant. If you haven't used it in a while, you might want to spray it with Pam or something first.

Use royal icing colored with gel paste food colors (not liquid or oil based) - you can buy the colors in craft stores like Michaels. It only takes a small amount to get very bright and vivid colors. As the icing dries the color will deepen. If you are really ambitious you could use candy like "Wilton Candy Melts" (also found in craft stores). They come in many different colors or you can buy white and use oil based candy coloring to custom make the colors you want. I say "ambitious" because you have to keep the candy melted but be careful not to overheat it or it will seize. Trust me, there is a bit of a learning curve when using them! You could use colored buttercream icing as well but then you wouldn't be able to stack them (without messing up your hard work) if you need to make a bunch and have to travel with them. If you don't need to stack them, that is what I would use - it would be the easiest! Royal icing and Candy Melts will harden so you can stack the cookies if need be. Oh, and to make royal icing (if you're unfamiliar with it), you can find meringue powder at the same craft store and the recipe is on a paper that comes with the container. You can make royal icing with raw egg whites but it isn't really recommended. I hope this answers your question!

Yes, this fondant is white. At least the one I got was. There is always a chance that it could come in different shades.

I put a little vegetable shortening on mine. Because my fondant was sticking to the mat. I didn't get any marks on mine. But I did wipe it down with the shortening then with another clean paper towel to spread the shortening. Hope this helps.

I had same problem. Sat it on a cookie sheet mid baking when I began to see the overflow into the hole, and then had to do some cutting off of the "extra" when it was finished. Not so great... I actually did one with less batter and didn't get all of the details of the last inch like you noted, so I just piped icing around the entire thing to look like "snow". It worked and no one noticed details were missing because the rest of the house is so adorable.

I used white icing. The image looked great. My son was very happy. I bought a cake mix at Target called Duff's Tie Dye cake mix for the actual cake. I only used the blue from the mix and created a cool marble effect when sliced. Duff's mix was moist. The image was easy to apply and, to my palate, had no taste.

Yes, but that doesn't show when your cutting into your dough or fondant. I hope this answers your question!

I did my cake the night before. The image soaks into the icing so I wouldn't do it to early before hand. Night before should be all set though

Hello Jennifer, you use the shiny side. The mat side will make the Fondant stick to it. Happy Baking!!!

The edible image is translucent (not opaque), and I actually used one on chocolate frosting. Yes, it looked very vivid, but on the lighter parts, you could see that the chocolate frosting underneath made it look a little darker.

Hi there I personally have not tried this but I think this would be a bit tricky. Can I suggest cutting the center with a round cutter and placing it on top of the sunflower/gerber daisy? The 2 levels may give it an extra dimension that may look good. I tried cutting centers out for the small cherry blossoms and it looked wonderful. check this link I found.http://cakecentral.com/g/i/1262453/buttercream-with-fondant-gerber-daisies-and-leaves-got-the-idea-from-the-pink-cake-box/

I would direct this question to the seller to be sure. However, I'm thinking it's just fondant by the way it tastes and feels

yes, I had to color some of it because I ran out of blue fondant. I used the Wilton Cake colors and it was a bit messy, but it worked and matched very well to the blue I already had.
