Now I love it very very much and think it is a brilliant tool. Eventhough it can contain loads of fondant paste I find it good to work with as long as you knead in a few drops of water & some white fat to make it more pliable to push through.

You can un-screw and fill in more paste if you want a very long rope. Or try take a look at this tool: http://www.fmmsugarcraft.com/pages/fullprod.php?id=63 It will always cut straight and even ribbons in the lenght you roll out your paste.

Wonderful cake! I really love your site and I visit often. I do have a question that I hope you can help with – I am thinking about purchasing the sugarcraft gun, and I was wondering how well you are able to get long lengths of ribbons/rope/etc. In other words, do you feel that to apply a fondant rope or ribbon around a 10″ cake, I would be better off just cutting one manually or using the sugarcraft gun? I know the gun is good for short lengths of ribbon, but what is your opinion of the longer length output?

Thanks so much!!

The “lid” of the boxes is just pieces of fondant added to the fully covered cake. I have used a sugar gun to make the strings to cover up small gaps ect.

I would love to the cake Paola…….

Enjoy!

Thank you very much,

Do yourself a favour and buy the sugarcraft gun it is the most wonderful piece of tool to work with. You will NOT regret it I promise.

I have no idea how you find the time to manage this blog but I always learn so much and it is so fun to come visit. And, now, of course, there is a new toy that I want. I was thinking about the cutter/embosser from Wilton but the sugarcraft gun seems so much better and often I am disappointed when I buy Wilton products. You seem to find the best stuff. Tracy

It is so fantastic to use.

Otherwise I was wondering how you created such a perfectly uniform “snake.” ????
