1. Tappits are a unique way of creating decorative designs and lettering to suit all levels of sugar-crafters from beginners to advanced.
2. It is an easy way to decorate and complement cakes for all types of occasions. To achieve good definition it is advisable to use a good quality flower paste.
3. Dust a non-stick board lightly with a little cornflour or cornstarch, then roll out a strip of the flower paste in the chosen colour, very thinly, as you would for flower petals.
4. Place the strip running top to bottom on the board and lightly dust the surface with cornflour/cornstarch.
5. Select the Tappit, placing the cutter across the strip: Press the Tappit firmly onto the paste, move the cutter backwards and forwards to get a clean cut. Tilt the Tappit towards you and peel off the excess paste. If you are using a design Tappit, before releasing the shape gently press down on the design using a finger dusted in cornflour/cornstarch or a piece of sponge foam: this will pick up the embossing fine detail from the cutter.
6. To remove the design, hold one end of the cutter tapping the other end firmly on the edge of the board/table to release. The shapes can be attached straight away to the cake and secured using edible glue.
7. To achieve a two-dimensional effect the design/letter pieces can be dried and used as free-standing decorations.
8. Use royal icing or softened sugar paste to secure in position. Additional colour may be painted onto the dried Tappit designs using a selection of paste or dust colours mixed with a little clear alcohol.
