I am looking for something similar to a hand roller for pasta, but I want to be able to roll long equal width strips of fondant easily (I have a cake that needs quite a few). This is the only thing that I could find that wouldnt cost me a fortune, but the width is actually too far apart, so I was going to get 2 of them and try to have my hubs jerry rig it so that way they are closer together. Oasis has one but its stainless steel and $95. Does anyone know where I might find something like this or similar??
Thanks for the help... |

Wilton has a ribbon cutter and embosser set. It is adjustable so you can make the strips as wide as you's like.

you can get a five or six wheel cutter designed for pastry. They are metal and fully adjustable (the frame is an accordian type set up with a wing nut to tighten it). they are quite expensive however.
just google multi-wheel pastry cutter. |

I have the Wilton cutter and not thrilled with it. It is adjustable and cuts more than one ribbon at a time, but the plastic blades are too thick and the edges on the cut fondant aren't sharp.
I bought this from  Global Sugar Art, and though it only cuts one ribbon at a time, it is adjustable width and the wheels are thinner for a sharper edge.

Edited to add...I guess you could buy two of them - and use the second set of wheels on the same bolt, or even buy a longer bolt at a hardware/home store and string a set together. |

This is one of my favourite tools! I use it daily. It pays for itself quickly.  |

i just want to second that the wilton cutter is not all that great. i hate mine actually. the wheels always get stuck or stop rolling but if i loosen them anymore they wobble and don't make a straight line.....it's just a pain! |

I should add that the URL I posted as for a cheap multi-wheel cutter (cheapest I have ever seen), so I don't know how well it would perform long-term but would probably be great for someone on a budget or a casual user. If you search you'll see the heavy duty higher end models are usually around $80-100 and up. |

For those of you who have the Wilton ribbon cutter embosser, get a regular type nut and place on the screw end in place of the wing nut. It should stay in place and let your wheels roll better. |

So...this is the model that you have?? And it works well? I have the FMM one and I do like it but cutting multiple strips at the same time would be nice! |

I have the one ceshell showed from cakesbysam.com. Works great. My only complaint is the blades start to rust quickly when I clean them so I have to wash and dry fast. |
