Ateco 24 x 24 Inch Silicone Work Mat Review

Ateco 24 x 24 Inch Silicone Work Mat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I saw the "big blue mat" on the Flawless Fondant DVD from the Sugar Shack and wanted to give it a try on a smaller scale. I was able to cover an 8 inch cake about 6 inches tall so easily with this mat and using her technique! Before I bought this, I was struggling getting the fondant on the cakes smoothly and without frustration. It convinced me to purchase the larger mat for when I am working on cakes that are 12 inches or wider.

Magic Dough MD001 Tuscan Pastry Mat 18x24.5-in. Review

I ordered this This past October to replace one by Tupperware that I'd used for 30 years but after tons of use had begun to "delaminate". Used this one 4 times to make a gingerbread house in November, washed it each time in warm, soapy water, dried it well and rolled it loosely to store. It is cracked in 4 places!!! I would never recommend this product. It should never have cracked after such a short period of time.

This dough mat has lots of features! It's thin, flexible, lightweight and has an exclusive anti-slip backing so it stays in place on your countertop. It has a nonstick surface, so it easily releases dough (no flour needed) and anti-bacterial construction. Measurement equivalents are printed right on the mat. When your work is done, simply roll it up, slip it back into its storage tube (included) and put it away.

Paula Deen Signature Wood Pie Board, Natural Review

My hubby makes a pie or two almost every weekend. This board is exactly what he needed. The measurements are perfect and the surface is easy to clean. He makes all of his dough from scratch, by hand, so it was vital he have a nice surface to work on.
If you have any trouble getting little bits of flour out of the grooves, try using a cheap toothbrush. Worked like a charm for him :)

Wilton Bakers Pastry Blender Review

Wilton Bakers Pastry Blender

I usually like Wilton products, I really do. So when I finally decided let's upgrade from a fork to a real pastry blender, I found this one. Big mistake. Only two reasons why, but big enough for me to dislike this item immensely.
Issue one - the tines are wire, not blades. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but you want to be cutting through the butter, shortening, etc. Dull wire just squashes the fats.
Issue two - tines too close together. OK, if these were blades maybe it would be OK. But having so little clearance between them and being dull, well, using a plain old fork works a lot better than this thing.
My suggestion, purchase any pastry blender with blades and not wires and you will save lots of time and frustration.

Perfect for accents on a little girl's birthday cake! Such a bright beautiful color. No obvious taste! So perfect for decorating cakes!!
Highly recommend you check your local Michaels or Joann's. Amazon usually has competitive prices but these are $3-4 at your local craft store - $15 is WAYY overprice on amazon.com.

Wilton Roll And Cut Mat Review

Wilton Roll And Cut Mat
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
1. This mat is VERY flimsy barely thicker than a plastic tablecloth (NOT an exaggeration) so it doesn't roll up well which makes it hard to store, box was damaged and useless after I got it. If you fold it up it creases permanently and plainly makes it useless, unless you WANT lines in your fondant or dough.
2. It is slimy after a couple uses, does not clean well. It SLIDES uncontrollably - so you either have to weigh it down with other items which results in making the already small rolling surface even smaller. I guess you could have someone sit and hold it down for you, roll with one hand or tape it down to the counter/table etc. all of which are ridiculous!
3. There is a large silicone mat available on this site that clings beautifully (doesn't budge, needs to be peeled off using both hands!) to the table/counter, requires almost zero grease/flour, gets squeaky clean w/o much effort, is heavy/large/sturdy enough to roll up and secure with an elastic band and is heat resistant to boot!!! Although you'd need a pretty large pan & oven to use it for that purpose! But it's so non stick that cut out cookies slide right off onto a regular half sheet pan.
4. Why am I talking about cookies/dough? Because the item I'm describing is an excellent multi-tasker - fondant, cookie dough, pie crust anything that requires nonstick rolling.
5. I am purposely not naming the item I'm raving about as I don't want to be accused of "planting" this review on behalf of another company. If you're interested I DO want to state that this is not a s/i/lp/a/t, if that's what you were thinking ;)
6. Search silicone rolling mat (its square w/ similar markings to the subpar Wilton) and I'm sure you'll find it. Plus it's only a couple dollars more - since I threw the Wilton one away it would've been a real bargain had I gotten it first!
7. Sorry this is so long - just wanted to stress that you will be much happier with another choice! IMO;)

Ateco Extra Wide Pastry Decorating Tip, Set of 3 Review

Ateco Extra Wide Pastry Decorating Tip, Set of 3
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought a set of Ateco piping tips are a catering store as it was all they had. I thought it would do for piping frosting onto cupcakes. It worked ok but the tips weren't really large enough (and I don't make the cupcakes that big). The set I bought before was more for cake decorating.
I looked all over for large tips and ended up finding them here. The bag and tips sealed well and did a great job. The the reviewers are right. I am looking forward to trying them with mashed potatoes or deviled eggs.
The mouth of the round tip measured in at 14mm diameter(large enough for me to stick a finger through) and the star tip was 10mm.
