The sugarcraft gun is, in my oppinion, a “must have” for anyone decorating cakes. You can make robes, hair, fur, grass, ribbons, strings, bricks and logs very easy with this brilliant tool.
You can use it for different kinds of paste. Fx. sugar paste/rolled fondant icing, gum paste/flower paste and marzipan. I like to knead in a few drops of water and a small amount of white fat into my paste as it makes it more pliable and smooth when you press it through.
The sugarcraft gun comes with 16 discs included. I use the mesh, slotted and the clover leaf shapes the most.
Happy Caking!

I have bought one of these wee guns lately and so far have used only a couple of the discs, mostly because I do not know what to do with the rest of them. Is there an instruction booklet I can get or some pictures that show me what I need to do?
Thanks

sue: make sure that you knead in few drops of water and some white fat to make it more soft to press through the extruder. Be careful not to make it too soft.

Anita RM: So far I have only tried this one with the red handle. There are other kinds of clay guns but I like this one the best.

Thanks for the comments about it, I was on the process making the decision to buy it or not… Now I believe this will be great tool to explore different textures! Do you recommend any particular brand?
