I found a computer pan at good will a while back and now get to finally use it ! I downloaded the instructions here, and cannot find the little candies they are using for the keyboard. Does anyone else have any idea for keys? Has anyone made this pan?

I think it looks like chicklets gum. You should be able to find it in the candy section or front counter at the grocery store. You could also check Party City or any candy store for some other kind of square candy. I know that jolly rancher hard candy is also square. Maybe sqaure caramel chews???

Ot just cut squares out of fondant or gumpaste. Michaels and Hobby Lobby sell the square cutters.

I rolled out some black MMF I had, and cut out little squares...

It didn't turn out too bad!

Thanks for the idea!

Hi on one of mine I just piped them with the straight tip, you know, the one you can ruffle with, but with the side facing up, that doesn't have lines. Couldn't find anything in that shape in China at that time.
Happy decorating
