You could all fly out to Scotland to pick me up and then we could get the train to Germany, we would have to go to London first, then Paris, then Brussels (for Chocolate) and then to Germany.

This could be fun!

Wow, Saracupcake! You almost make me wish we wouldn't get them!! Oh how I would love to take a trip like that! And the chocolate in Brussels Sinful!

Fiddle.........no I have not tried the Michaels ones on anything yet but can probably do so tomorrow. I am currently making up a dozen pink and red gumpaste roses for some Valentine cake orders and thought would try stamping on some gumpaste ribbon strips . You know how words are written on ribbon? That is what I thought I would try and do with the Michaels ones and the German ones once they get here. I thought it might be creatively cute to stamp out "Be Mine" etc....on some gumpaste ribbons for the Valentine cakes.
You think that will work OK? Still thinking of more ideas too.
I'll let you know how it works for me once I get to it......tomorrow? Had to quit for today so I can get dinner cooked. Better go get started on it now, dang it! I would rather still be working on roses!!!

Hey ladies, I emailed the German seller yesterday morning and just rec'd his reply;

Hi Lea!
Thank you for your order and payment!
I´ve done the shipping yesterday and shipping time to usa usually takes 4 to 5 days - so maybe you´ll receive saturday or monday
greetings

Hello to all, I'd like to order this letters since I love making cookies, but can you cut fondant with these cutters or they're too small? are they only for impressions? in that case you can only use them on the cookie without icing? sorry for asking so many question I'd like to order them, but have my doubts.

Rosie, I just got on too this thread yesterday, thanks to Fiddlesticks, but its my impression that these are only to make the impression into the icing or fondant--not to make a cut-out. Someone correct me if I am wrong! I ordered anyway and hope all of you will be posting what you think about them!

Here is the link to purchase the item at ebay;

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360072964525&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm38%26_nkw%3D360072964525%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1

From what I understand, this cuts a cookie and stamps the words into it at the same time.
If you can cut and stamp cookie dough with it then I do not see why we can not cut fondant/gumpaste with it.

Go get you one before she sells out of them!

Teekakes Hey thanks for the update I hope mine are in the mail to ! I think I ordered the same day or maybe the day after you did ! If you can make a stamp in a cookie Im sure its perfect for fondant to. Well I think thats what some of us are planning anyway.That was the whole idea for me I dont really want to stamp a bare cookie..
I think it comes with a cookie cutter also but you can use the stamper on its own . Lea is that how you see it being used ???
I think it just hapens to comes as a kit.
Linda Glad to hear you ordered some to!

Thank you to all, I just order them
I'll make sure to come and report when I get them.

Graciassssss!!!!

Hey girls, I just got an email saying that I should receive them by Monday or Tuesday...
I guess I'll have to make some cookies 'asap' and try them, huh?

Just found this thread...and I bought a set, too! That ebay store is going to wonder why these are selling so quickly in such a short time. I tend to be an impulse buyer with kitchen gadgetry. There were 13 left after my purchase. Thanks for this thread and the answer to our fondant stamping "prayers."

Thanks Lea!
Cookie45.. I was thinking the same thing, All of a sudden they have a hot item LOL!!

I hope they will be here b4 valentine's day

I've tried the ones from micheals and they arent deep enough.

but im gonna order the german ones now

The ebay seller emailed me last evening to inquire about how I knew of these cutters. I explained this thread at CC to him and told him to be prepared for lots of sales and to keep plenty in stock. I told him I put a direct link to his ebay page in this thread and to get ready for a likely rush on sales. As fellow CC'rs we know this could be quiet the understatement!

Kayla..............You just possibly ruined my day!!! This morning I have plans to roll out some fondant/gumpaste and try out my new rubber ones from Michaels...........Oh well, I'll try them anyway. If nothing else I can use them to stamp words onto gumpaste gift cards/tags using food colors for the ink.
What did you try them on?

I have a question on those cutters from ebay -- what if I want to just use the lettering and my own shaped cutters? Is that possible or is it their letters, their cutter shapes?

Bobwonderbuns-It is my understanding from the previous posts that the letters can be used with or without the cutter.

Yes, Bob, I believe you can.

If you would like to wait for hands on proof, myset as well as Fiddlesticks and another member or two should be getting ours sometime from this saturday to the first of the week.

Thanks! I was just trying to figure out if I should get the set from Ebay or the set from the leather place. So many choices, so little time...

Because it says this Im pretty sure you can use any cutter you want to.
"Anyways...Once your dough is rolled to about 1/2 inch thick, and cut squares or rectangles with a sharp knife or other shapes with the cookie cutter that you like."
I took that off the ebay link !

Geeeez, I was so excited about getting them ordered I somehow missed that little tidbit of important information!

Thanks!!!

I am going to go read that ad again and see what else I didn't read.!

I hope all you "early orders" have some cookies and fondant made soo we can see as soon as you get them! LOL
I cannot wait to see!
Fiddlesticks, what day did you order?

Linda.. I looked back and I ordered sometime on the same day as Teekakes...So I hope we all get them by the first of next week!

aww Teekakes I'm sorry maybe youll have better luck than I did.

I bought them in december becuz my writing sucks and I wanted to stamp out "merry christmas" but you could harldy see the letters.

Kayla1505.....I did try them out this morning and like you, the letters didn't show up well for me either. So, I got a tiny paint brush and some food color paste and painted the vague lines of the letters. They showed up well and ended up looking pretty neat. Maybe you can still use yours and do the same thing. I like the stamps but they do need painted in. I took a picture.......will see if I can attach it to this post. Here goes.

that looks really cute, i tried useing color but it just wasnt working for me

Mine Arrived!

They are fab!

I tried them and I think the result is great, they are fiddly cause they are so small but worth the effort.

It comes with one scalloped edge biscuit (cookie) cutterand also with a separate bar that you could use to press into anything.

I'll make something later and post a picture!
