Thanks Bobwonderbuns, So would I be all right with just ordering the icing mix and a mat? I'm a little confused by their site bc I see so many things and I'm not sure what they are for. Icing dispenser? If I want to start of slowly yet still be able to make something pretty what is a must?

You can use piping bags and cake tips if you don't want to purchase the powered icing machine. I plan on ordering these bottles I found. They are inexpensive and use cake tips. If you want to make lace then you would need the silicone molds. I don't really like the patterns they have so I plan on trying to make my own with amazing mold putty. I have used it successfully in the past so I figured I would give it a try. You can do a search for the bottles if you are interested. I can't post the actual cake site because CC will block it. 2 oz Squeezit Mold Painter Bottles Pk/2 two bottle cost 3.79.

Hello all!
I have a question. I made some cutouts with sugarveil and had some scraps left over... I was wondering if I could do anything to the scraps to make them back to a liquidy consistency. Also, I do not yet have a silicone mold and would be willing to purchase it from someone who might not need their particular mold any more.
Thanks in advance!

Don't give up on sugarveil.  I don't think there is such a big learning curve and I'm fairly new to decorating  With my first batch I did not wait long enough for the sugarveil to dry after spreading it on the mat (a very sticky mess).  One batch makes up multiple sheets so I cleaned up my first mess and tried it again.  No problem thereafter. Once you get the right consistency then it's pretty straight forward.  Here is a picture of my second try...I really love this although this would not be a design I would use too often, waiting to get another mat.  Try again, you will get it!

I finally bought the sugar veil mat with spatula and mix and I love it albeit I've only used it once and it worked a charm - I was seriously worried bc I did not realize I needed to prepare it ahead of time (another post asking for help on friday), anyway, it peeled away from the mat beautifully. I used it on an engagement cake with just the couple's name on top (the sugar veil was around the sides of the cake) and it needed no further decoration. It speaks for itself. So, so happy with it and will definitely buy another mat.

I have used Sugarveil on several occasions and absolutely love it! I am amazed at its possibilities and capabilities. I have printed off patterns of various designs from the Internet and just placed a piece of parchment paper over it and used the Sugarveil in a decorator bag and a piping tip to trace the design. I have bought serveral of the mats but usually end up wanting and needing something more design specific so I resort to google and trace!
