In Cake Design, What Does A Quilted Wheel Mean?

This post discusses the process of creating diamond patterns or quilts on cakes using fondant. One method involves rolling out a piece of fondant, making the patterns on it, and wrapping the fondant around the cake tier. Another option is to emboss lines in a lattice pattern using a single-wheel Cutter/Embosser. This technique is perfect for baby or garden-themed cakes.

There are various tools available for creating quilt patterns on fondant, such as the diamond rolling pin, diamond ‘quilter’ tool, or diamond impression mat. PME offers a double-ended modelling tool that cuts sugarpaste and fondant icing with a quilted stitch effect. This tool is ideal for creating sugar flowers, cake models, and edible toppers.

PME’s collection of cake modelling tools includes cutting wheels, Dresden tools, and a quilting tool. These tools are typically made of metal and plastic and should have blades resistant to damage. The quilting wheel adds simple but effective detail to various decorations, such as sugar ribbons, fabric effects, sugar embroidery, and cut designs.

The Quilting Tool from PME is an easy-to-use fine stitch wheel that can be used to add additional detail to various decorations, including fondant ribbons, fabric, and modeling chocolate. It is also ideal for veining petals and leaves and is suitable for use with a wide range of edible and non-edible materials.

In summary, creating quilt patterns on fondant is an easy and fun way to decorate cakes. PME modelling tools are suitable for use with a variety of materials, including sugarpaste, petal paste, marzipan, and craft clays.
