HINTS FOR USING FMM TAPPITS SETS

This fantastic range of cutters from FMM are very versatile and simple to use.

• • Lightly grease a non-stick board with Trex or other white fat or shortening and roll out Mexican paste very thinly. (Other pastes may be used but I find Mexican to be the best as it doesn’t stretch too much, can be rolled thinly and doesn’t dry out too quickly)
  • Very lightly dust the top surface of your paste with Cornflour (cornstarch) a tip here is to put the flour into a muslin cloth and simply wipe across the top surface – that way you don’t get too much onto the paste.
  • 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 Patchwork 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.
