How do you make letters and numbers in fondant rope? Can someone share a tutorial?

I don't use fondant. I use straight gumpaste, which dries much stronger. I extrude the gumpaste through a clay gun, form the letters and glue the pieces together with gum glue. It needs at least 2 days to dry properly.

I have been wondering the same thing. Thanks for sharing your beautfiul pics and tips, Diane. I am not quite ready for such a large cake yet, but when I am, I definately want to use that method. I love the way it looks!

WOW! Those are cool! I've never seen them before. I may have to try that - it is an amazing effect! Thanks for sharing.

Do you use the small clay gun or do you use the commercial one?

I've been looking at the Sugarcraft guns and the best price I've found so far is at beryls.com. countrykitchen carries it too and sweet celebrations. HTH

Cool thanks. I will look into this .I have the sugar craft gun. I tlooks like it will be a real help with my hands. I hate the poly clay gun and I hate it.
