They used tappits like these... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ALPHABET-NUMBER-FMM-Upper-Case-Tappit-Cutter-Set-NEW-/290392723953?pt=Uk_Crafts_Cake_Decorating_MJ&hash=item439cc151f1

Yes, tappits. Definitely not writing.

Thank you!!! I shall have to get some of these

Also, apply the lettering to the fondant strip before you cut the ends. I found that out the hard way.

Can you get them in different fonts? If sowhere?

yes, they come in different fonts, I have the funky ones. I can't remember where I got them but just google tappits
