New letter cutters? I have been looking a lot at the Groovy Clikstix letter cutters from Windsor Tooling Company. These fun letter cutters comes with an ejector on the back for a quick and easy release. I love that there is an ejector. Because I often use a small needle to get my letters out from my Tappit cutters.

If you too love the groovy letters? Then here are three stores where you can get the Clikstix cutters from: UK,US & AU
How get a deep red or black rolled fondant:

Normally I buy my red and black fondant pre colored. Because it is really hard getting a nice deep color. When doing it yourself. So when I found a great tip on how to mix both powder and gel colors. I had to try it out. It really works. I start with the powder and then I add the gel paste color. The fondant will not get too wet and soft when coloring it this way. You can see the deep red fondant on my Valentine cookies.

When I make red and black fondant I like to use Crystal Colors: Poinsetta and Charcoal, together with AmeriColors: Super red and super black gel colors.
Happy Caking!

You simply just emboss a piece of fondant and then cut out with the cookie cutter. The embossing tool is from Patchwork Cutters and called: Quilting embosser http://www.globalsugarart.com/product.php?id=17335&name=Quilting%20%20Embosser%20by%20Patchwork%20Cutters

Flatten the fondant and then sprinkle the powder on and then knead it in.

Americolor’s super red and black are some of the best that I have tried. Crystal colors also works for icing and chocolate.
