Pros: Did what it was suppose to do

Cons: Needed an extra pair of hands

I bought this for $1.99 because I was making a cake to be covered in "fabric fondant" and I want to use it to make the texture. I was surprised to find it on clearance sale. I first tried it with choco-pan fondant and all it would do was tear and stick. Shortening, confectioners sugar and cornstarch were each tried with no change. I then switched to the Wilton brand chocolate fondant and it worked fine! It was a little difficult to hold steady while feeding the fondant through, could have used an extra hand or suction cups to hold it down, but after a little practice, I had no problems. The caked turned out beautifully!

Thank you for this. I tried it with modeling chocolate and it was tearing. I'll try straight Wilton Fondant next time

did you use shortening, cornstarch or anything with the Wilton fondant? i got all of these on clearance but so far just terrible luck with them.

I think I might have put a little shortening on it at first. I took a little care to get started, then worked just fine.

on the back of the packaging it says to use with a 50/50 gumpaste fondant mix for best results. and the wilton fondant is a lot stiffer than satin ice ect. Joann's fabrics has all the sugar sheet stamps and cutters on clearance as well
