Tiny impression letters?

I have seen a few people using very small impression letters on their fondant covered cookies. Does anyone know where to get them? icon_confused.gif

I saw those too. I wonder if they are just stamps, from the stamping department of a craft store? I have seen individual letters in rubber stamps that small. Technically not food-safe but I can't imagine the duration of exposure to your fondant would result in any leaching chemicals IMO.

Just my 2c!

ceshell, I have actually purchaced different letter stamps from the craft store. They just don't go deep enough. But, thanks for your response!

Good to know!! And that answers my suggestion #2 which would be, put plastic wrap between the fondant and stamp if you're worried about food-safety. But if those stamps already don't go deep enough, then plastic wrap would just result in nothing at all, I'd guess.

I wonder about metal letter punches, would those be deep enough. I saw the cookies you meant but I don't remember just how deep the impressions were. Have you PM'd the decorator??

Yes I have pm'd the decorator with no response. So, I thought I'd take the question to the masses. lol Where can I look at metal letter punches? I have looked into type setting letters like the ones they use to print newpapers with. They would be perfect but very expexsive. I believe you have to invest in a hugh set.

I Googled...oh drat, I don't remember if it was "metal letter stamp" or "metal letter punch" - something like that. They are not terribly expensive. However I could not tell from the pics whether or not they would cut deep enough. Might be worth a peek anyway!

I'm curious too, maybe the fondant is rolled thin enough that the decorator was able to use the rubber stamps from the craft store? I was also wondering what type of cutter is used to get the small flower that I see on the little cookies as well, Thanks

Wow... those are tiny. You might be able to get "printing press" sets off of ebay... those would probably work.
