If you’re looking to take your cookie and cake decorating to the next level, using engraved rolling pins with fondant is a game changer. These beautiful tools not only make the process more enjoyable but also add a professional touch to your creations.

Engraved rolling pins come with intricate designs that can be pressed into fondant, creating stunning patterns that enhance the visual appeal of your baked goods. Whether you’re crafting cookies for a special occasion or decorating a cake for a celebration, our rolling pins can turn ordinary fondant into extraordinary works of art.

To get started, roll out your fondant to your desired thickness on a lightly dusted with corn starch. Then, take your engraved rolling pin and dust that also with corn starch. Then gently roll it over the fondant. The detailed impressions will instantly transform your flat sheet into a textured masterpiece. You can use the patterned fondant to cover cakes, create decorations, or make cookie toppers.

Shown here is an example created at Cookin Con, 2024. We rolled our “Honeycomb and Bees” rolling pin over fondant, ran it through “Big Blue” machine from Icing Images, then had the piece decorated with luster dust from The Sweet Chalet. Can you imagine something like this on a wedding cake? 

One of the greatest advantages of using engraved rolling pins is their versatility. With countless designs available—from floral patterns to geometric shapes—you can easily tailor your decorations to match any theme or color scheme. This allows for a level of customization that will impress your guests and make your baked goods stand out.

Additionally, working with fondant is a great way to experiment with colors and flavors. You can tint your fondant to complement your cake or cookie base, or even infuse it with extracts for a burst of flavor.
