With every letter you need to help you emboss a ‘handwritten’ message into the surface of an iced cake, the 52-piece Alphabet Script Stamp Set from PME has every possible celebration covered – from Happy Birthday to Merry Christmas – so you’ll never be stuck for words. Presented in a two-tier storage box, with separate trays for upper and lower case letters, each piece has its own labelled slot so you can’t forget where they came from once you’ve composed your celebration message. Simple to use Every clear plastic letter stamp is embossed on the back with its letter, a this-way-up arrow and a centrally-placed alignment bar to help you place the letters the right way up and precisely in line with each other, so your message will look as professional as possible. Each piece also has a little handle on the back to help you place, press and lift them with ease. Shatterproof Made from food grade, injection-moulded ABS thermosplastic, the letters are shatterproof and easy to clean. Word up: the terms ‘upper case’ and ‘lower case’ come from the way in which print shops were organised many years ago. Individual pieces of metal type were kept in large trays or boxes called cases. The case full of smaller letters, which were used most often, were kept on a lower shelf to be easier for the typesetter to reach.
