Someone had mentioned in another post about using an extruder to make snakes of fondant...is there an attachment for kitchenaid mixers? Where do I get one?

KA sells the pasta maker attachment but I don't think that's probably what they were referring to

I bought the Makins Professional Ultimate Clay Extruder (love it) off of e-bay and like sherrycanary62 said, you can get it from amamzon.com also. You could also check your local craft stores.

Try using a Wilton Cookie Press.

Thanks everyone. You have been most helpful!

I bought a clay gun/extruder at a local craft store for $14. It works pretty well, but it's tough pushing the fondant through. It's like a cheap garlic press in that sense. That other one looks sooo much better (esp the handle)!

cakesrock, you should invest in the Makins Professional Ultimate Clay Extruder. I've only had mine less than a week but have used it so many times and for me it works great.

Thanks, Alene. I didn't even know about it - now I will! At least I'm only out a few bucks....

I also have the Makins extruder. I got it at Hobby Lobby with my 40% coupon. It must be a popular item because everytime I would go there, they would always be sold out. I lucked out finally and snagged the last on the shelf.

Where can I find the Making Professional Clay Extruder?? neither Michaels or Joannes carries it in my area

None of the crafts stores are carrying it anymore, is so weird since is the best one I have ever tried.
Here is a link

Hope it helps.

I have used the one Tonedna is selling and now I'm buying it from her. Didn't know the stores weren't carrying it anymore. Always thought they were sold out like everyone else.

Any ways, I love it. My little red and black one that you have to squeeze works, but not the way I want it too.

I know i Have looked in my local craft stores with no luck.
And the red one works but kills my hands. This one is the best
one I have used.

I have the little red & black sugarcraft gun & use it a lot & will continue to use it for small projects but I received for Christmas the 'daddy' of all extruders (like the one Jen shows you on her DVD) & I am thrilled with it.

That's too cute..my son use to bake on the easy bake oven...lol
Until he decided the oven was better.

I got my Makins Professional Ultimate Clay Extruder at Joanns online using a 50% off coupon, looks like they carry them a bunch of places, all different prices, but the deal I got at Joanns made me happy!

I use the Makins as well & like it so much more than the red & black one (which KILLS my hands)

My Hobby Lobby still carries Makin's Ultimate Clay Extruder. I just came back from the store, and I saw they had one on the shelf. Plus, they have 40% off coupons practically every other week.

I've been looking in San Antonio for 2 months.

No deal!

In florida either..And we dont even have Hobby lobby. I think the first time I heard that name was here in CC.
Edna

that's so strange that they aren't carrying them in some stores anymore, but I'm telling you Joanns Online is the way to go and you can still use the coupons, mine shipped really fast too!

Global Sugar Art has the Makins extruder for $25.00. I just got mine in today.. anxious to experiment.

my extruder just broke. i had ordered it from sharon (sugarshack) i would love to get another one.
when i used mine with fondant i put shortening in the extuder to make is easier to go through with no problems.

I just got a Makins Ultimate Extruder for Christmas, and I can't wait to use it! Hubby says he got off of e-bay.
Yup, he's the best!
