 Not as easy as you would think Mar 16, 2010
By Rural Mom
I was excited to purchase this item as I work a lot with fondant, and my handwriting is less than stellar; so an opportunity to provide nice lettering on cakes was welcome.
However, I make my own fondant and it did not work well in these molds - it stuck, no matter what I did (using cornstarch in the molds as directed, refrigerate, freeze, let sit overnight). I did not try using the store-bought Wilton fondant, so don't know if that is what would make the difference.
That said, I noticed they were made of the same materials as Wilton's candy molds, so tried using candy melts in them instead. Viola! Perfect letters! I even did two-tone white and pink and they turned out lovely, popping out of the molds with ease and giving me nice lettering for the birthday cake I was working on.
So - I was disappointed in their performance with fondant, but thrilled with how they handled candy melts.

 One color only =0( false advertiseent! Jan 10, 2012
By JennSilac
I bought this in the store, because on the packaging the letters looked awesome. It is impossible to use two colors and make it look nice. One color fondant letters look nice, but very tedious work to cut them out with an exacto knife.
if you have these, powdered sugar works best to help release it. The instructions say corn starch, but it doesn't work! =0P
There are better letter molds out there!
 Save your money! Jun 24, 2011

I was so excited to try these out for my daughter's birthday cake. But, as another reviewer mentioned, this is a tedious process! It is hard to remove the letters from the mold and way too time consuming to sit there and use 2 tone color. After an hour of trying to do one letter to my satisfaction, I gave up and just did the entire letter the same color. However, I am glad for the suggestion on here to use them as candy melt molds! I think that would work far better!
Nice end result, but very tedious. Apr 11, 2011

I used this product with Wilton pre-made fondant and did not find it to be worth the price. The molds are thin plastic and will not hold up to repeated use. In fact, one of them broke after placing it in the freezer to remove the letter (as directed). This turned out to be a very time-consuming and tedious process. It took several hours to make the letters I needed for my cake (14 in total). Pressing both colors into the same mold was not easy at all and took a lot of patience. It was also quite difficult to get the letters out of the molds, even after dusting the molds with cornstarch as directed. In the end, the letters looked very nice and added visual appeal to the cake, but if I ever use this again, I will make the letters well in advance and do only a few at a time.
Really hard to use Jan 12, 2011

Big waist of time, these are nothing more then overpriced candy molds, and really hard to use no matter what type of fondant or gumpaste you put in them (I have tried homemade as well as commercial). The two-tone aspect is impossible to get clean straight lines like in the picture, assuming you grease each letter in shortening before putting your fondant in (which is the ONLY way I was able to get these to release). They should be separate molds (the letters, then the shadows for the letters), but they are not. Good thing I got these as a gift because I would be irritated if I actually spent money on it.
