I have the upper case set. They dont stick if I use Pam spray, but the fondant has to be soooo thin that I cant handle the letters without them coming to pieces. Any suggestions?

I never use Pam with these. I just roll out my fondant and let it dry for a while, until it gets a little crusty but isn't all the way dry. Then I cut out the letters. IF the fondant is too wet it will stick. Also, I let them dry a little more before handling them so they don't lose their shape.

Dust corn starch in them with a puffy brush rather than use spray. Tap them out onto parchment paper and fix/adjust them back into shape. Let them dry before trying to use them.

We just let the fondant sit in the cutter for a while (10-20 min) then actually slap the letter out as shown on the tutorials on YouTube. We really had problems before we watched the tutorial, and still have problems with the letter B. Of course, it is the most common letter we use!

The cutters **do** cut smoothly, but that is dependent on making sure your fondant hasnt started drying out. So long as you keep your fondant batch covered while you work with the small amount to prep for cutting, you will be just fine.Im not really sure what you mean (Im having trouble picturing this for some reason)....but they are like pencils as far as the sides of the modeling tools...One of the things I do with modeling tools - where I have big monstrously muscular fingers, I actually put rubber grips on them... the same kind you would use to put a rubber grip on a pencil or pen.... that way I can actually grip it without having very sore fingers.

I used a VERY light spray of non stick spray for my FIRST set of molds. It usually takes multiple sets to complete the finished process. After I freeze my mold for 10 minutes I flip them over to wax paper and refill the mold. I'm not sure what brand if melts you're using but I've used Wilton and I've never had an issue. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Have a great day.

Yes it does. When making them keep confectioner sugar around,so it doesn't get to sticky in your hands. I have made many different things with the fondant. Hope this helps. Good luck!

If you use fondant, I make sure the fondant is in the mold firmly. Then place in the freezer for ten minutes. It comes out without breaking.

When using fondant,I pop them out before they are hard,I haven't broken any chocolate yet. Good luck

I have used the same container for probably well over 20 dozen cupcakes and still have at least half the container left! A little dusting goes a long way, it's unbelievable! I dip a dry paint brush into the glitter then tap my finger on the brush to sprinkle it on the cupcakes... this method keeps you from using too much by mistake!

This fondant never firms up so you'll find your sculptures won't hold there shape. Although its my least favorite for covering cakes, I find Wilton's works better for sculptures since it dries better

You might consider trying the baking spray which has flour with it. I think I did put a VERY LIGHT spray but only a quick spray. I gently use a fork to slide under each donut and pull it loose. When I flip it over to a rack they fall out quickly. Good luck. Don't give up. I try a new recipe each time. The process of making your own donuts is fun so be sure to enjoy yourself. Again, good luck.

I put a little vegetable shortening on mine. Because my fondant was sticking to the mat. I didn't get any marks on mine. But I did wipe it down with the shortening then with another clean paper towel to spread the shortening. Hope this helps.

I haven't but I would think it would be too "soft" a surface to be able to roll out gum paste thinly. If you were going for thicker pieces it might but I would still recommend a more solid surface. Perfect for rolling out fondant though-it is my go to item for that.

It's perfect for fondant cakes. I used a little bit of piping gel and it worked great. If you use water, just lightly dampen it because the paper will melt. Also, water will make the paper curl.

I started using Pam baking spray just a light coat and that helped. I also lost my instructions and this seems to work. Hope it helps

Hello, the finished fondant letters are small size, about 1cm (0.4 Inches). Sincerely, Seller: Allforhome

I personally prefer the Wilton fondant for modeling- it's not so sticky and dries harder. It also doesn't get the wrinkly 'skin' on it. Definitely dust the mold with cornstarch so it doesn't stick and mix in a little tylose powder if you want it to set even harder. Good luck!

my only advice is to spray the pans mine stuck after the first use now they are ok with sprayhope this helps maybe you can ans something for me I use a cookie scoop to fill the fan but you can only get it on one side of the pan so I have to use my finger to spread it around have any ideas on that on

Normally you just place paper pm wall(I use tape so it doesn't move) then with a credit card I firmly rub over the letters. Then I place tape in area so when I remove the paper it doesn't accidentally fall. Then while rubbing I peal back the paper. Go slowly because some letters especially curvy won't peel off easy and can brake. In a few places the letter edge didn't stick I place a little clear nail polish and hold it w a toothpick til dry.
