I tend to use tappits, they are like little stencil/cutters for letters and numbers that you can get in all different sizes and fonts/styles, you can get them from most cake decorating suppliers, I know my local cake decorating shop sells a couple of different sorts, can also but from some of the websites listed throughout this group and also Ebay. They are best used with flowerpaste that has rolled out really, really thin (so that you can see a picture or piece of text that has been placed below it) and been left to dry out a little as the letters will then just come out of the tappit when you tap it on the worktop, then apply them using some tweezers and either edibe glue, water or a clear alcohol such as gin or vodka -only a tiny amount mind!

I got Tapppits from the cake shop. They were quite hard to use at first but practice makes perfect!

i remember the first time i used tappits...... threw them across the kitchen in temper!!! Got in eventually though! LOL!
