FMM have created a fantastic Large Tappit for making decorations for the popular Superhero theme. This cutter set is quick and easy to use and features icons such as lightning bolt, hero badge and wording including Pow and Zap to name a few. The superhero cutter set is perfect to decorate cakes, cupcakes, cookies and cake pops. For best results use the FMM cutters with modelling paste or flower paste.
How to use:
Lightly grease a non-stick board with a white fat or shortening and roll out Gum Paste very thinly. Very lightly dust the top surface of your paste with Cornflour (cornstarch). Press the tappit set firmly onto the paste ensuring that you press all areas of the cutter. 'Flick' the cutter off the paste by placing a fingernail under one end and lifting rapidly. The paste should remain on the board. Carefully peel away the excess paste leaving your required letters or shapes. Lift the cut shapes with a palette knife and fix in position with a little edible glue. As with Tappits cutters the paste can be coloured before cutting out, painted or dusted with lustre colours before fixing in position.
You may need to practice a little to get the thickness of the rolled paste just right - it needs to be thin enough the cut through but be thick enough to allow the detail on the cutters to show.
