Lol, well currently my "clients" are just me, my husband, and my daughter, and I've taken no professional classes of any kind. Not even online. I just love watching cake decorating shows, and trying new things. I like to challenge...

 Thank you for your post and the link to the article. I use a homemade fondant made from marshmallows. Does that make a difference in the use of The Mat?

So, my husband has requested that I make him a Millennium Falcon cake for his upcoming May birthday. I told him I will certainly try. I am no expert in working with fondant, and it always seems to frustrate me a bit, but I'm determined...
