I'm going to purchase some FMM-Tappits Cutters, How do you like them?

Thanks,
Tiffany

I absolutely love them, especially the script letters!

Here's the trick: mix a 50/50 of fondant gumpaste and roll it thin, preferably in a pasta machine. Let it dry for about 3 minutes and brush on luster dust if you wish.

Then place the cutter on the paste (which is on a hard, smooth surface like the kitchen counter or plastic board) and push down firmly in a circular motion.

The design should come out if you "tap it" (get it? Tappit? lol) on the counter. I usually take the point of a toothpick and flip it out of the mold.

Try not to touch them for another 5 minutes so that you don't distort the shapes. When they're firm you can pick them up and place them on the cake. !Viola...perfect lettering!

I also make extras and keep them in a plastic screw keeper.

It's a big plastic box with a lot of little draws.

I looked into one of the molds, not sure if it was from FMM, could you please tell me where you are ordering yours? The problem I saw is that they are SO expensive from England, I think. Thanks!

Love them...I have the Funky letters and another couple of scripts! I use them all the time.

I got mine from global sugar art.

thanks, crazy4sugar, I'll check into them!

i like them too! It does take a little practice to get them out, but you were given good advice about rolling it out and letting it sit for awhile. Sometimes I need to do more than just "tap" them out. Sometimes I am really smacking the thing, but they usually do come out!

Love 'em! Merissa is right...sometimes it takes a pretty hard "tap" on the counter to dislodge them. I have both letters and some of the theme tappits (e.g. Xmas). The letters seem to come out more easily.

I am pretty new at this, so this probably sounds dumb. I just got the script letters from Global and I am not sure how to proceed even with the instructions you all gave. Are you cutting the letters apart before you press them into the fondant? Do you end up with a border of fondant around each letter that you have to trim off? I appreciate any help you can give me.
