Wilton's 37 Piece Alphabet & Number Cut-Outs
Decorating By zubia Updated 4 Jun 2008 , 12:10am by tracey1970
I'm not sure if it is the same set, but I bought Wilton letter cut outs for my fondant and I HATE them. The fondant doesn't pull away from them well so they end up stretched with ragged edges. Maybe it's just me though. Maybe I'm just rough with them.
I have them, used them once, maybe twice and will probably never use them again. I should have just splurged on better ones from Jem. I don't believe I have the picture of the cake, unfortunately. HTH!
Not sure if I was doing something wrong, even though I was working carefully. Let's see what other's have to say... Good luck with your decision!
They have JEM cutters too.
I have them and I love them! I use them quite often and have not had a problem with them at all. roll your fondant or gumpaste fairly thick and you shouldn't have a problem. You can visit my website to see them in use on the cakes. The most recent was the graduation cake in my gallery.
Now I remember why I won't use them again, it's for the same reasons above, and I also wasn't impressed with how they looked when they did come out right.
I wouldn't get them with a 100% off coupon. Waste of drawer space.

Do you do anything else when using the cutters? I tried rolling mine thick and they still stuck! I let my gumpaste sit out for a little bit, so it wasn't sticky, and they still stuck! When I do get the gumpaste out of the cutter it's all misshapen. If you have a trick, please share! 
Glad to see this thread. I have been debating whether or not to buy the Wilton ones or order the FMM ones online. I really love the look of the Funky Alpha Letters.
I just tried using mine for the first time last night and I had a terrible time with them. They went straight into my trash can.
I don't do anything special with them. I roll my gumpaste or fondant out fairly thick, I use Crisco when I roll it out, maybe that is why I don't have a problem with them sticking. I honestly can't tell you my "secret" because I don't have one. I just haven't had a problem with them.
I have used these too and had no problems. I roll out the fondant not overly thick, but I also roll mine out on Crisco. Plus, I also rub the cutters with a THIN bit of Crisco (no clumps of shortening visible) on the areas I can actually get at with my fingertips. I've not had a sticking problem.
I did the Glasgow Rangers cake writing in my photos with them. It's not the greatest pic to see the writing, but we can only upload one pic.
I too am not overly impressed at the look of the letters (but I suppose more elaborate letter cutters would be even harder to get the fondant out??), but I've not had a problem with the Wilton ones.
