CK Products FMM Lower Case Script Alphabet Tappit Cutter Set - 1/2"

These make great letters. However, because they are so small, I suggest using gum paste, which costs just about as much as fondant and is just as easy to color. I suggest you roll out the gum paste very thin, cut little squares a little bigger than the letter you want, coat with powdered sugar and let set about 10 mins. This way it will be firmer and easier to remove from the cutter. I had very little trouble making these letters, the only problem I had was I picked some up too soon and they broke. Let them harden completely before you try to pick them up.

I love Tappits! They can be difficult to use if you've never used them before because the individual letters are quite small and thin. I roll out my gumpaste very thin, rub the surface with a touch of a 50/50 mix of powdered sugar and cornstarch, then let it sit for a few minutes to "surface dry" before cutting. If I don't do this, it's difficult to "tap it" out of the cutter. My writing with frosting is pretty awful so these help me to not ruin my cakes by writing on them free hand!

You must use a generous amount of cornstarch in the mold before the fondant, otherwise they will stick in some spots. I still recommend. Nice lettering too.

I don't like these. They are one long strip which makes it difficult to cut individual letters, if that were possible. The fondant is impossible to use with these. I would like to get a refund. I do not recommend.Update:Ok guys. I tried again. This time, I made the fondant very thin and cut sections small enough for individual letter. I cut by pressing down and moving from side to side. They worked! Yay! They are so thin that I had to let them dry out a little so they will hold their shape. I might try adding a little tylose powder to strengthen the fondant, but right now, drying them a bit works.😊

These are a good quality embosser. They work very well on fondant as advertised. Using on buttercream is a little more difficult as it pulls some frosting off with it. Highly recommend for fondant!

Worst cake I ever tried to decorate. These letters were impossible to keep their shape using fondant, no matter how much I let the fondant dry. I spent extra time attempting to get these letters right and the few that I did get to hold their shape didn't have clean edges. My daughter told me that she has never seen me do an ugly cake before, but this one was bad. I ended up scrapping the letters off the cake and re frosting and hand writing the message. I have terrible handwriting, but it looked much better than the botched lettering I got from these cutters.

I expected this to be larger. the letters it cuts are tiny and they are not individual letters so cutting is going to be a pain with constant re-kneading of the fondant because it cuts what you don't want it to.....I finally tried it. it was a pain to use and the letters would not "tap out" with pastillage

These letters work pretty well. They can be tricky and take a little practice. The biggest tip I would have is to roll the gum paste as thin as you can. it may seem to thin, but once the letters are cut, they will look great. If you don't roll the gum paste thin enough the letters will stick in the cutters and make it impossible to get out.
