Is it just me or are some of the letters impossibly narrow (like the B for example) it took me an hour the other day to get a decent B......I wonder why they didnt make the holes in the b smaller?
Has anyone used a different Alphabet cutter set that they like better?
I have had some problems with some of the letters...specially letter A. I just let the fondant get a little bit dry and it has worked for me. When you are gonna pick it up try using your spatula. It has saved me lots of time, even though I spent a lot of time with letters.
I do have another one. It looks like a ruler, it id for Italic kind type of letters but it tooks me like 1/2 an hour each letters
it is a pain....but it looks good for spacial cakes.
I also just got one at Michaels (Clay section) it looks a little bit bigger and better. I haven't used yet though.
Hope this helps and want to know more opinions as well in this matter. ![]()
I just tried the Wilton letters for the first time 2 weeks ago(see my tire cake photo). I, too had difficulty w/ a few of the letters. I made extras of a few of the letters and I let them dry some before I attempted to use them; drying seemed to help but I really do need to look for a better system. I'll have to check into tappits.

here is where I got mine. But ebay has them listed often also. Scan down the page to see the different types of tappits.

I also had big problems with the B. I am also going to have to look into the tappits.
I have the tappits scroll set. I also have this block letter set similar to Wiltons, (I have Wiltons also) but prefer this set....... scroll down #20 on the list.

Here is a tip on using the letters...after you get your paste the thinness that you are looking for, cover the paste with a piece of plastic wrap and then press the letter in.
Wiggle the letter a little bit. then remove the cutter...do this with all the letters you need to cut.
You will always have nice, neat edges and no problem with bits of paste sticking into the narrow bits..and when you lift the plastic film most times all the letters come up and leave the paste to be re-rolled.
