Ok, so I don't what it is called or how it is used, but I know someone does. I was told it can make a string borders around cake bottoms. It looks like a syringe with several small discs. I tried putting fondant in it and squeezing, but it was too hard for it to come out. So any help would be appreciated.

Are you talking about the clay gun we all use for fondant???
If so you can work in a litte crisco.

I think your talking about a clay extruder...is it silver and small?? if it is, I have the same one and you have to squeeze really hard.

Extruder. Work in a good bit of veg shortening and then put a log of it in the extruder and press.

Thanks Gals, I'll try your suggestions re: veg. shortening, it's always fun to try new toys! Now I know what to call the "thing".....An extruder!

Try the Makins Ultimate Professional, it has a twist crank that is very easy on your hands. I cannot manage the plunger or press style guns.
