I have gotten better at my writing, but it still needs improvement. I like to print out a font and use it as a guide. Kind of like drawing the letters instead of writing them. I use the presses a lot too. If it is a child's cake, I'll usually write with the dots on the letters. I have also found that if you write them funky AND put dots on them it doesn't matter if they're evenly spaced or lined up at all. Here's what I mean:

How big are they?

You use the tappits with gumpaste or fondant/gumpaste mix. I'm going to try a link but if it doesn't work, just do a web search for FMM Tappits and it will come up. http://www.globalsugarart.com/cat.php?cid=758 They come in various sizes and fonts.

neomommy,
Thanks for the link. icon_smile.gif
Gumpaste isn't edible right? SO am I thinking right that these made with even a portion of gumpaste are to be thrown out?

Gumpaste is edible, it's just that usually you wouldn't want to eat it, like in flowers and stuff. In the case of these letters you roll it really thin so you would just eat it along with the BC underneath. If you're worried about that just use fondant.
