I, like some of you, use to dread using tappits, they would get stuck, distorted, ripped, and more... But I liked how good they could be if able to do them right.
As they say, practice makes perfect, so I kept trying until I found a way that it's pretty much fail-proof... Here is the viedo and below are the images if you want to print it or save it...
I hope this helps...

PS.
Points to keep in mind:
1) Keep your surface heavily powdered.
2) Roll your gumpaste/fondant very thin
3) Keep out on open air for 2-5 minutes, let it dry a bit
4) Dust your tappits before each use
5) Move you paste at times to make sure it's not sticking

  • What is with the crazy loud music on this otherwise great tutorial?!

  • great video thanks :) x

  • I use tappits alot. The secret appears to be to put a generous amount of veg shortening on the rolling board so that after it's cut, the gumpaste sticks to the board and with a sharp instrument (tooth pick/ needle tool, remove the unwanted gumpaste and the letters or whatever you are cutting stays on the board. You can leave them there for a few seconds to harden and you just pick them up. It works everytime with no breakages and no extra icing or corn starch to mess up the end product.
