How to create perfect lettering using Tappits
Skill level: Easy
Time: 5 - 10 minutes
You will need:
- Bakels Pettinice in the colour you want
- Tylose
- Cornflour
- Tappit set
- Small rolling pin
- Needle
Get a small ball of fondant, if you are just doing a name you wont need much.
Put a small amount approx half of a 1/4 teaspoon (I never actually measure). Knead it in to your ball.
Roll out your fondant in to a thin strip. Leave to sit for 10 minutes on the bench - very important!
Press your tappit over the strip of fondant. Rub it against the bench to ensure it has cut fully. Then turn it over and rub the letter with your finger to get of any fuzzy edges.
Next, turn it over and rub the letter with your finger to get of any fuzzy edges. Tap it against the bench, i find flicking it against the bench works well. If your letter gets stuck, get a needle and pull out a corner to get it started.

I love doing animals especially."
