FMM Tappit Cutter Elements

FMM Tappit Cutters are perfect for cutting out letters, numbers or shapes from fondant, gum paste or flower paste. Follow the steps below for the best results:

• Preferably use gum paste, flower paste, or fondant mixed with Tylo powder or CMC.
• Roll out very thinly on a surface dusted with cornflour or icing sugar, to less than 1mm, so thin you can almost see through it.
• Allow to air dry for a few minutes before cutting. This prevents the paste from being too sticky.
• Press the Tappit cutter firmly into the gum paste, flower paste or fondant.
• Gently rub over the top or roll over it with a small rolling pin to cut out the shape cleanly.
• Tap the Tappit cutter against a hard edge (e.g., the edge of a table or countertop). If rolled thin enough and dried properly before cutting, the shape will fall out easily. If not, use a cocktail stick to gently release it.
• Let the decorations dry briefly.
• Attach them to your cakes, cupcakes or cookies with edible glue or water.

Tips for the best results!

• Lightly dust the cutter with cornflour to prevent sticking.
• Work on a smooth surface for sharp edges.
