Where To Find Stencils For Letters
Decorating By Jackofallcakes Updated 8 Nov 2010 , 8:23pm by DeezTreatz
I would like to find stencils for letters on cakes.....where and what are the best stencils to use? What do you use? I have been printing letters off the computer in different fonts, then cutting them out with fondant. I know there is an easier way......right!? Any ideas would be great
If you want actual stencils, you can check the art section at michaels. They are not food safe though. Else you can but the tappits, etc letters from a cake supply place.
I have bought a few different ones from here -
Postage killed me but they are food safe and very sturdy to use.

I got mine at Flour Confections! Not a bad price at all..
You can buy edible markers there too - to write on fondant cut outs

I use the silver ones that come in every letter of the alphabet - it was about $17.00 Canadian with tax. They are metal

They are perfect for cutting out fondant!
They sell different fonts at Flour Confections(Canada) - but i'm sure the states has online stores for less shipping. In plastic too.
But when using them - you should let the stencil sit in the fondant a little to dry to avoid stretching your letters.
If you just want a guidline to pipe on writing i've seen the message stencils at Michales & The bulk barn - you build your message with the letters - kind of like scrabble and stick it into the cake and you have a guideline!
