The product that arrived was the exact one shown in the picture. At first I was a bit leery ordering this based on the negative review and my own independent research on Youtube which showed that the letters are permanently attached to several ruler-shaped plastic. However when I received it, I realized that the configuration didn't make it any more difficult to use. As a matter of fact, having a few long flat pieces made storage easier with less pieces to lose. The plastic it's made out of is very sturdy and since there are no pieces to rust or break or lose, I think this will outlast my interest in fondant cake-making :)On a sidenote, it doesn't work at all with my home-made marshmallow fondant. I used it on gumpaste and that a was a breeze! I haven't tried it on store-bought fondant to see if that works too.I'm very pleased with this purchase.

My Upper and Lower case FMM Funky Alphabet Tappit cutters arrived today, and I couldn't wait to try them out. I have a Sweet 16 cake that I'm working on, so I thought that this would be a great opportunity to use them. At first I was a bit hesitant as I've read several reviews about them sticking to the cutters, but I experience no such sign of that. I'd also watched a couple of YouTube videos and had looked for tips 'n tricks. I used a Wilton Fondant mat lightly coated with a thin spray of Canola oil (the same thing I always use for my fondant because it never sticks or never looks powdery). I rolled my gum paste very thin, as the package insert suggest. A couple of places I had read to let the gum paste sit a few minutes, but I was too impatient and went straight to cutting! I usually roll once, quite flat, then flip over the flattened gumpaste so that the smoothest surface will be next to the cookie cutters. This also transfers a little of the spray oil to the top and ensures that my rolling pin or cutter won't stick to the letters. I used my pizza cutter to cut strips of gum paste slightly wider than the height of the tallest letters, then I just pressed them down, paying careful attention to press also on any parts of the letters that were protruding off of the cutter unit. Then I just lifted and the little letters stayed put but thoroughly cut. I went ahead and cut out "BREANNA" in both Upper and Lower case so I could see which I'd prefer after I was finished. Then I carefully lifted the gum paste off and away from each of the letter. Be careful though, they're very thin! I used to corner of my buttercream spatula to carefully lift them and pull out their centers and place them on another flat surface to dry. I can't wait to add them to the cake tomorrow night when I'm placing the finishing touches!

Just received my upper and lower case funky tappits. I had no problems with either style, but I would stick to using gumpaste only, not fondant, not even 50/50. The instructions are very clear. You HAVE TO roll it very, very thin and make sure nothing sticks to the countertop. Do exactly what the package says to do, and there won't be any problems getting perfect letters out. My gumpaste was quite dry after using corn starch but the letters look amazing! Probably took me less than 10 min to spell out "happy anniversary".
