Troubleshooting
Cutter sticking to the paste
Lightly dust your work surface and the cutter with cornflour or icing sugar before pressing. Ensure the edible medium is not too wet.
Features not sticking together
Ensure you are using sufficient edible glue or royal icing. Make sure the surfaces of the features are slightly moist where they will be joined.
Difficulty cutting clean shapes
Ensure your edible paste is rolled to an even thickness. Press down firmly and steadily with the cutter. You may need to re-roll the paste if it is too stiff or too soft.
Cutter leaving sharp edges on paste
This is normal for cut edges. Gently smooth edges with a fingertip or a fondant smoother if desired before assembling.
