What type of brush should I use? I'm trying to purchase one but there's an option for rounded brush or pointed brush and I'm not sure which one is best. Thanks

[@NautyLittleTreats]

The brushes I use are called Pure Sable. You can buy them from Zoe’s Fancy Cakes or Vanilla Valley. Sizes 00, 0 and 1 are best for finer details x

You know I looked up the price for sweet stamp and omg about $50 or more. I went to hobby lobby and spend about $15 and I'm about to try this. ❤

[@NautyLittleTreats]

Some stamps can be expensive, but there are a lot of different brands out there. I have a few different types and honestly love them all x

[@doloresholguin3221]

I'm curious, how did your purchase work out? I agree...expensive!

Hi dear Is there a substitute for the acrylic block ?

[@NautyLittleTreats]

I suppose any surface that they will stick to is fine, see through would be better for the visual, or you can just use your hands (just a little fiddly). X

[@babeiigyal3101]

Hi my letters won’t stick to the block ?

[@NautyLittleTreats]

If mine don’t stick it’s usually because they have cornflour on them. I just give them a little wash which helps them to stick again x

[@airamilona1555]

Can this be done in luster dust?

[@NautyLittleTreats]

I use edible dusts mixed with rejuvenator spirit to make a paint all the time. Some of the lustres may not show as well though, just depends on the colour x

[@perseverancettaonekwa5149]

What is the name of the stencil

[@NautyLittleTreats]

They are called ‘impressit’ stamps from purple cupcakes

[@lamirada90638]

Can it be used on buttercream?

[@NautyLittleTreats]

You can stamp directly onto buttercream, you just need to make sure the buttercream has been chilled and firm x

[@a.j2376]

For some reason when I stamp the fondant the square around my letters imprint on the fondant 🥲. Is there a way to avoid this? Do I actually need to cut closer to the letters instead of leaving them in individual squares?

[@NautyLittleTreats]

It sounds like your just imprinting too hard. If the acrylic block ends up being level with the fondant then it just means it’s been pushed down too much. I would play around on a scrap piece of fondant to work out the amount of pressure you should use and then you’ll soon get used to it x
