The dot imprint mats. 3/4 inch pattern and 1 inch pattern

Such immense possibilities with these two mats.

Guidelines for lattice lines, Evenly spaced dots, pearls, hearts and etc.

Use them with fondant or buttercream icings. As with the diamond and line mats you don't want to press all the way to the edges. If you do press all the way to the edge it will imprint a vertical line from the edge of the mat. Being of almost clear material they are easy to match patterns and continue around the entire cakes.

I played a little with these mats and these are some things I found worked great with these little dot imprints. See what you can come up with - and please share them with me as you can.

1. Fondant with the two dot imprint patterns
2. Fondant soft green stripes arranged using the dot patterns as a guide
3. Fondant balls made with a #10 tip and placed on each dot mark left exposed on the pattern. #2 dots piped on either side of the wider vertical stripes.
4. Black dots help you understand where the guiding dots underneath the pattern are. Two dots piped and a space left on the second row of dots beside the wide stripes.
5. Single dots piped to complete the dot pattern beside the wide stripes and assorted stripe patterns just to give you some ideas.

I forgot to take a picture showing you need to mark
one line to get the angle right on the top lattice line. You must do this before you begin the piping on the bottom layer of the lattice design.

This is the first step in doing the angled basketweave design. With the dot pattern it should now be easy to keep the angles even and lined up as shown below

You absolutely must use a buttercream icing that will dry to the touch (or crust) to use these mats to mark the sides of your cakes. If the mats begin to stick to the icing simply wipe the mat dry and then dust lightly with cornstarch and continue around the cake.

As you can see from the above ideas you can use these dot patterns for doing angled or vertical patterns.

Such fun
