I don't know how it sticks to fondant, but it was used on my wedding cake which was butter cream and it worked out fine. Hope that helps!

Most cakes will need to cool completely because as they cool they will pull away from the sides. If the cake is sticky, it will stick to the pan the longer it cools. Make sure to grease the pan, though. I use a cooking spray that has flour in it and that generally does well.

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.

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

What median are you using? I've used fondant and chocolate and both have worked fine. With chocolate your not going to be able to bend them of course but with fondant, after you take it out of the mold you can fold it slightly and let it dry for a day so it will stay in that position. Let it dry in something that will keep its shape like an open big book.

Um...sugar? Lets just say in the world of fondant, homemade is prob the best tasting, but biggest extra hassle since you make from scratch. Absolute worst tasting but most readily available is Wilton. Satin Ice is the best of the best for cake decorating, and actually tastes GOOD and I don't even care for the stuff. Best texture too. Very easy to work with. Don't have any fresh sitting around to give you an ingredient list but found this online: SugarCorn SyrupPalm OilNatural and Artificial flavourings Gum TragacanthGlycerineCellulose GumModified Corn StarchPotassium SorbateAcetic acidTitanium DioxideCaramel color Cocoa Powder Um...sugar?

I would not recommend it...you don't want any grease or anything on the mat - it will erode fondant. I also think that cookie dough might need a bit of flour to keep it from sticking. But if you aren't going to use it for fondant all that often, I don't see why not. But really, just go to the Walmart and buy it by the yard. It's a lot cheaper and you can have several for different uses. It's very expensive. And the first one I ordered came folded into an envelope, rendering it garbage, so be careful who you order from, if you do.

I actually went back a year to see when I ordered/when they shipped, etc., and I can tell you that mine arrived @ 3 weeks before I used it. I'd recommend you store it carefully, flat, away from moisture, light, heat, etc. & make certain nothing gets placed atop of it. My daughter LOVED it!!! Handle it carefully when you apply it to cake, as it is somewhat fragile :)

Mine started sticking too.. made ugly cakes and I threw it out. I know they were meant to not stick for more than using them a few times. I sprayed with the flour spray thinking maybe it would work better but some still stuck. The pans cost too much not to be better than this. I thought I was buying the best brand of pan. I washed by hand each little cake hole. Nothing was sticking on them that would have caused this problem. Just disappointed. If, anyone has an answer to this I would really like to know.

This is strictly for airbrush. Airbrush coloring is as thin as water so you would need to get a gel or paste coloring to use for fondant as this would definitely ruin your fondant and gumpaste. I am a professional and have been in the business for 17 years and I WOULD NOT use airbrush coloring for anything other than airbrushing. Good luck. :)

I'e had no problems with cakes sticking in this pan. I do use Pam in it first. I love it.

I'm not sure how big of a cake you're interested in making. When I ordered this, it easily covered a 3-tiered 5 inch round cake, plus a few decorative pieces. And I would say I used less than half of the fondant. You might be able to get more information from the Amanda Oakleaf website- they also have tutorials.

Yes it does. When making them keep confectioner sugar around,so it doesn't get to sticky in your hands. I have made many different things with the fondant. Hope this helps. Good luck!

When using the mold, make sure that the mold is filled with fondant completely. Trim away any fondant outside the mold wait a few minutes then carefully release it from the mold. I didn't have any problems.

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 ordered early so I would be sure to have it. Just make sure you store it in a cool dry place. Then for about 3 mn just before you put it on the cake put it in the freezer. Once you sit it on cake you wont be able to move it so have everything ready when you take it out of freezer. It's a great product!

I've never worked with fondant. It does make nice thin lasagna/ravioli sheets (about 3 inches wide).
