I have been using Tappits the Krazy Kool Cake way for a couple years now. Works a charm. Thanks!

[@krazykoolcakes]

That's so awesome Terri! Thanks for letting us know it works for you! :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're welcome! Glad you liked it. When I'm gonna be putting font on the cake presentation board, I usually do it the day before when my board is already covered in fondant. If you're gonna be putting it on your cake, I would do it when you're decorating the cake. Generally the font is the last thing to go on unless you'll be decorating around it. The letters should be moist and pliable. If you make them the day before, they'll probably get too hard for them to be flush on your cake.

[@Krazyboutcakes]

they need to pay you Laura! You just increased their sales! this video should come with those tap its! I had no clue of what I was doing. Thanks a million!

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Mayra! Thank you! I tend to stay away from fondant because it's rather flimzy but try it. If you just add a little bit of tylose to it you can turn it into gumpaste.

[@krazykoolcakes]

Glad the tutorial helped you! I was very frustrated when I bought these as well, so I had to invent my own way of making it work. LOL. :)

[@4smj1n]

you are a life saver I've had those cutters forever and they were giving me so much trouble!!!! thank you

[@krazykoolcakes]

+Jasmine Charles My pleasure Jasmine! :)

[@TravelingFoodie22]

I just used this tutorial tonight and some comments on these were that they were hard to use but this tutorial made my tappit super easy. Thanks a bunch especially for which letters to buy.

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you Kristen! It is pretty easy isn't it? :) Glad you enjoy it!

[@ta-tashamonk1834]

Thanks for sharing. I'm about to order my Tappits now! Your tutorials are fantastic! Keep up the good work!

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you! I appreciate that! :)

[@colletgibbons1084]

Wow! I put mine aside to throw out but now I don't have to. Thank you very much for the tutorials. It have saved me from wasting money

[@krazykoolcakes]

You are very welcome Collet! :)

[@angelsoutlived]

also want to say thank you! I was going to do the same, should look for this video long time ago.

[@irispare]

Thank you after so many years of owning this I now know how to use it correctly.

[@krazykoolcakes]

You are very welcome! So glad you found this video helpful. Thank you for watching! :)

[@elsasmac]

I'm so grateful for your videos, I've learned so much from you! My FMM cutters just came in - I bought Tappits in Alphabet and also bought their ribbon cutters. This method will help my thin ribbons come out perfect!!

[@krazykoolcakes]

+elsa velazquez Thank you so much Elsa! That's very kind of you! :)

[@brdlmrlyn]

I've had my tapit for over a year and have not tried it yet. Thanks for saving me the trouble of making the mistakes that I would have had I not seen this video.

[@Deborahr0211]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have these letters and could not figure out how to use them. What a big help and thanks again.

[@krazykoolcakes]

You are VERY welcome! I hope you enjoy using them! :)

[@alidadebruyn3560]

I have these and mine always turned out a mess and never worked so gave up on them. Thank you for this great tutorial, I’m going to try it your way and give it another shot. Thank you

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you Alida! Please let me know how this technique works out for you. I appreciate you watching. :)

[@77skjackson]

Thanks for the great tips Laura! I finally ordered these tappids a few days ago. I can't wait to use them!

[@GlossUpGirl]

Soooo much help! I have had these for years and never used them for a cake....I'm not always a direction reading kind of gal so I guess I didn't realize they were called "tappits" lol I can't wait to try using them the right way asap!!

[@harumimartinez]

I bought these cutters and I thought they didn't work. I didn't know how to use them until I watched this video. Thank you! It was very useful

[@krazykoolcakes]

+harumimartinez That's wonderful to hear that it helped you! You're very welcome and thanks for the awesome comment! :)

[@juqettalawson4354]

Thank you so much for the tappit video you really explain very well, so I ordered the ones your working with on the video, they were so easy to do on my first try I LOVE LOVE THEM will be ordering the other sets, AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!😊😊

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you giving me such amazing feedback on this tutorial. :) I'm so glad you were able to use them with no problem. You are VERY welcome and thank you for watching! :)

[@rubyslippersparkle22]

Thanks Laura! I have the upper and lower case of the funky letters and the italic ones. Love the end result, but definitely have a love/hate relationship with my cutters! I want to get the block letter ones next!

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi! That would be a big difficult to do with these letters as they are super skinny. With other types of cutters however you might just simply glue the smaller letter on top of some gumpaste and then cut around it by hand with an Xacto knife. :)

[@DRUMLINERGURL12]

OMG, Thank you so much Laura, i always had a hard time getting them out and getting them all bend and out of shape. THANKS A MILLION. :-)

[@Meaad88o]

Thank you for this video of the most gorgeous. I have learned a lot from all the video that hauled. Thank you very much😍😘😘

[@krazykoolcakes]

Not stupid at all. :) Gumpaste is fondant mixed with a power called tylose. The tylose helps it dry quickly and makes it nice and hard. :)

[@kickers3mom]

aside from the most amazing cakes you and Arnie create , your tutorials are extremely helpful.. I just got some of these and plan on using them on the next cake.... thank you so much for your help............

[@krazykoolcakes]

[@sissyssweets2271]

Wonderful tutorial for those of us who don't have that mat press forbthe quilt effect! Thank you!

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're very welcome! Thank you! :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

It does stick a little but use cornstarch to avoid that all together. :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

That is such an AMAZING comment to read!!! I'm so happy this video helped you!!! Good for you!!! :)

[@tmoorewife]

I have a question for you Laura, how do you make the background layer for the letters when you do a double layer. By that I mean when there is a thicker lettering behind the skinnier letter. It's very cute!

[@amyhird6270]

ah! This seems like a much easier way to use these! :) Thanks for the tutorial

[@krazykoolcakes]

HI! You can use fondant but be prepared to struggle as it is somewhat flimsy. That's why I like to use gumpaste. If you're gluing them ONTO your cake, you want to cut them out immediately before you glue them. If you're adding them to a plaque or decoration, you can do it at anytime. :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

Same method is used. We eliminate any cornstarch or powdered sugar residue by steaming. We have a tutorial on that. If you don't use a steamer, you can just brush on a tiny bit of vodka with a paintbrush. Voila. :)

[@rabbit2529]

Thanks for the very useful tutorial. I always have to try several times to get one out. now it'll b no prob after this

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're very welcome! :)

[@Browncutenpoetic]

Thank u! Great tutorial! I was using these things all wrong. Lol. Cant wait to try it this way!

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're very welcome! Glad you liked the tutorial! :)

[@nilekhapatil]

Thankyou so much for this tutorial...You are the Best !!! Just one question Can we do this in advance or do we have to do on the same day of decorating a cake...

[@christinakistner246]

I have been using these the way wrong way!!! I used it my pressing it onto my fondant then pulling up and tearing it away. Wow I can't wait to use these again now... thank you!

[@UrsulasHomeBakery]

[@Beautygal117]

Wow. I had bought end these for maybe about 6 months ago. tried it and didn't work so put them away. Then I saw your video in how to do it and sure enough I was doing it the wrong way...haha I thought it didn't work. Thank you so much for your AMAZING tutorials. God Bless.

[@krazykoolcakes]

+Matthew Smith That's wonderful to hear Matthew! Thank you! :)

[@beepman8]

No problem. Hey, I have a KZbin channel too if you want to check it out.

[@byjacquelineordonez]

Does gumpaste not stick to the rolling pin nor the mat? I've never used gumpaste before only fondant.

[@susanwalker1870]

Thank you so much for showing me how to do the letters, i was about to throw it away because i couldnt figure how to get my letters.

[@jaynematzkinhair8830]

Great tutorial. I sometimes struggle with getting my letters out. I'll have to keep all your tips in mind. Thank you!

[@Mummybeardesigns]

Do you use the same method for black and red lettering? If so how do you get the cornflour or icing sugar off the letters?

[@mayratorres5080]

Hi there :) Love your videos. i had a quick question CAN I USE FONDANT TO MAKE LETTERS??

[@krazykoolcakes]

That's awesome Mel! You are VERY welcome! :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

My pleasure Marie! :)

[@karla_gm]

Hi Laura i just buy these and i like to kbow if i can use fondant or just gum paste.

[@krazykoolcakes]

I recommend gumpaste. :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're very welcome! Hope you have fun! :)

[@karloraine]

Wow! you are a lifesaver..been having problems doing this

[@gaiewheeler4914]

OMG thank you just got some of these and needed a lesson! Great video thanks!

[@krazykoolcakes]

Thank you! :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

You are so welcome! :)

[@77skjackson]

Hey Laura. I just bought the upper and lower case FMM funky letters. I have a question about the upper case letters and numbers. My upper case didn't have a zero for the numbers. Only 1-9. Do you use the letter "O" for the zero? Thanks Laura. :-)

[@Binx1223]

Laura I have learned more from your tutorials than the tutorials that I've actually paid for. I do have a question about making shoes...do you have a video on that? Recently I attempted to make a show from gumpaste/fondant and I thought all was well until I removed the shoe to place it on my cake and the whole shoe caved in and broke...what happened?

[@krazykoolcakes]

You are VERY KIND! :)

[@cheekyz01]

love your tutorials they are so helpful.

[@Thisiscakeevents]

Thanks, this looks easy! Can't wait to try :)

[@sbanew805]

I just got these. Thank you for the tips!!

[@krazykoolcakes]

So happy you liked the tutorial. :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

That's wonderful to hear! Thank you! :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi. The video also explains I use gumpaste and not fondant. :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

You are VERY welcome!!! :)

[@GucciBlesseD]

You are awesome i have learn a lot by the way thanks so much God bless

[@krazykoolcakes]

Syl BleSseD Thank you! I appreciate that. :)

[@elainemiller4970]

These are sooo much easier to use after watching this tutorial x

[@krazykoolcakes]

That's awesome Elaine! Thank you for saying so! :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hey there! Yes, the O and the 0 are the same with the FMM. :)

[@krazykoolcakes]

Hi Kylie! I'm so glad it helped you! Yay!!! :)

[@yaniraavilasantos8452]

I love you! you are such a great teacher...I want u to know you have thought me alot..

[@krazykoolcakes]

That just made my day Yina! THANK YOU so much! I appreciate you taking the time to leave me such a wonderful comment. God bless you! :)

[@suemama58]

Thanks for the informative Video. Can you dry these out first and then put them on buttercream or fondant?

[@krazykoolcakes]

You're very welcome. If the tappits that will be put on buttercream do not need to bend at all (if applying on a completely flat surface), you can dry them first. If placing them on fondant, I would recommend applying while still moist. If you let them completely dry, even if you add edible glue to the back of each one (or water), you'll have a very difficult time getting them to stick. We always put these on fresh and moist. :)

[@lawrencejohnson4387]

Hi: The tappits u have with the green pack is that call Old Engish letters?

[@dawnmcmillan8528]

I have always had problems with tapits in the past and this is the best tutorial I have seen so far.

[@krazykoolcakes]

That's such wonderful feedback Dawn! Thank you so much! :)

[@KingdomLifeDec]

So we shouldn't let this dry out nefore placing on cake Or CAKEBASEBOARD?

[@krazykoolcakes]

Right. You want to keep it covered so it stays moist so you can easily place them on the cake or cake presentation board. If they dry they'll be too fragile and they might break on you, plus you'll have a very difficult time of getting them to stick to anything. I hope that helps. :)

[@nanaskitchen2yours977]

Thank you so so much, mine didn't work the first time I used and I nearly threw them away. I think I have all the ones you showed in the video and throwing would have been a waste of money. Thank you u thank you :-)

[@taniahodgestania131]

Thankyou Laura,so helpful as usual.

[@carolmccrae8713]

Thanks ! was about to throw my letters in the bin! Now i can use them
