It is a gadget that makes perfect ropes I guess for fondant, at least the pics look like fondant. Beccakelly has a cake on CC and she refered to it as a clay gun. Is that what it is called and where can I find one? please help 
It would make life soooo much easier !!! It is so hard trying to hand roll them to where they are equal sizes and not lumpy.
I bought mine at Michael's.

You can also buy it at Sugarcraft, or other similar cake decorating supply stores.

check your mail I just got a flyer from Mochaels for 40% off one purchase
I got mine from www.countrykitchensa.com. It is the trigger style sugar craft gun which I much prefer over the cheapo one I bought at Michaels. The cheap one killed my hands, the trigger style is much easier to use.
You guys are awesome !!! thank-you . I am taking a fondant class at Michaels on Thurs . I will pick one up then. I am sooo excited I can hardly wait

I also bought one at Michael's, it was fairly cheap,l but it WAS metal so thought it would be good... it was kind of a piece of junk IMO. I think I'll try this one that you linked to! Thanks!
The only drawback with the one I bought at Country Kitchen is the price, it is expensive. The price had jumped up from what was listed in the catalogue from what I already thought was pretty pricey by the time I ordered it. It comes from the UK so the exchange rate is what makes it so expensive. But I have to say it is totally worth it.
I use this sugarcraft gun from Beryl's: http://beryls.safeshopper.com/216/7424.htm?961
If you want a bigger capacity gun, the 4th one on this page is very popular here on CC: http://www.clay-king.com/extruderlist.htm

this is a rope mold !!! i found it in www.globalsugarart.com. It does kind of make perfect looking ropes, I just ordered one for myself.
Will you look at that! That is the same gun that I got from Country Kitchen but it is obviously much cheaper at Beryls. Interesting.
I don't know if you know this, so don't think I am looking down on you. Only a thought, the clay extruder doesn't actually make a rope design, you push fondant out using whatever sized disc you choose, make two lines of fondant the same length, one right next to the other and then with your fingertips push the fondant up at the left side while pulling it down on the right side at the same time, the pieces then braid themselves into the shape of a rope. The more you do that push and pull from opposite ends, the tighter the rope will be.

Not sure who you are directing that to, but since I'm reading it, I'm going to respond! 
I did know that it would not make ropes, but thank you very much for clarifying! It would've been awful if I (or someone) had bought it thinking it would make ropes! I am hoping to use it for all different shapes, etc. Thanks again for keeping us educated! 
I have the sugarcraft gun, the large disks from Earlene's with the Wilton cookie press and the one ChrisJ posted a picture of - I'll take the one ChrisJ posted the picture of any day! The sugarcraft gun works but holds so little fondant that you don't get enough out to use for borders. The Wilton cookie press with Earlene's disks doesn't work at all - the fondant is too hard or so soft that it oozes out around the disks - that was a huge waste of money! The Makins clay one works very easily and it holds more fondant than the sugarcraft gun and with a 40% or 50% coupon you can't beat it! If only I could find that same one that took more fondant it would be the perfect sugarcraft gun!
