I have a bride wanting a honeycomb design on her cake sides.  I can find a smaller honeycomb impression mat but can't find a nice long strip to avoid lines between each section.  After a lot of on line investigation, someone suggested I use bubblewrap to impress the design.  Has anyone actually done this and do you press down with your hand to get the design or use a rolling pin and risk the bubble wrap popping.  OR, even better, does anyone have a source for a long impression mat in a honeycomb design (not a stencil).  Thanks much.

sorta?

the price is right

Cavities are too big (1/2"), thanks, we're getting closer but no cigar.  Hugs.

Have a look at this tutorial, it might be of help to you:

http://nyccakegirl.com/2011/08/16/how-to-decorate-a-sweet-wedding-cake-really-this-is-a-step-by-step/

the mold is actually a bit bigger than half inch

lucky you i've found my long last camera and i made this nutso 'fondant' or something that never dries out--never--i don't even cover it up -- if it starts growing i'm outa here!!!

so this ^^^ is the mold i showed you--if you can keep it from stretching you can get six rows on--this is a 12x4 dummy--and i only got 5

is this closer? ish?

the second one up there is nubbley shelf liner

and also consider plastic cross stitch 'fabric'--it is little squares and not hexagons but it comes in many different sizes and if you put it diagonally it really gives that 'impression' (pun intended)

oooh--what about the orange produce bag material?? netting???

and as for bubble wrap--it would not be precise enough nor small enough imo

hey--maybe not a cigar but how 'bout some cake scraps at least ;)

$10 for a 6"x6" swatch or $75 min order ouch

I have multiple doll house flooring sheets with textures that I use all the time. You can find them at hobby shops. They even have a small selection at Hobby Lobby. I have seen a hexagon shaped floor tile that would work great if you can find it. I have seen it at Hobby Lobby before.  The sheets come in large 14" x 18" pieces! They are recessed on one side and raised on the other. So you have 2 choices! They work great. Good luck!

Wow you are so very helpful.  The first picture you posted of the honeycomb is exactly what I am looking for.  Did that come from the mold you got on ebay the link you posted?
