My icing doesn't crust....so I chill my cake until firm. Since it is difficult to wrap the mat around a cake like this, I cut the mat into section [about 3 repreats of the design] and glued a handle on back and work just a section at a time until done.

: Can anyone explain to me how to use impression mats, such as the Dots or Quilted designs, on a buttercream iced cake? I'm assuming that it needs to be a crusting buttercream, as opposed to a whipped buttercream?; but not sure if I understand the process. Thank you.
