Hi there! I bought a set of alphabet cutters from GSA to cut out fondant letters. I was wondering what all of you experts use to cut your letters. I dont have the time to cut them out free hand, but when I used the cutters, the fondant/gumpaste stuck in them (I did grease them). When I tried to pry them out, they stretched and broke. I will admit they were small cutters (1 inch I think). Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Lizzie
I had that problem too when i first started using my funky letters cutters, now i roll thin and dust with icing sugar before pressing the cutter, works great. I don't grease the cutters at all. Hope this helps a bit, i know how frustrating it can be!!!
There is a video of how to do it on YouTube by Tonedna....or if you search the how to forum, there is one that says, Hundreds of Tutorials in here, the link is in there. HTH
Are they the Tap-its? If so you tap them against the counter and the letters come out.
Add a little tylose to your fondant, roll it out then let it dry a few minutes before cutting. Dust with corn startch (including cutter) and when cutting move the cutter around on the counter to get a clean cut. As Texas Sugar said, it they are tap-its smack them on the edge of the counter and they should pop out. Don't try picking them up until they are dry. You can move them around with a small, soft paint brush. HTH
