FAQs
What types of edible materials can I use with these cutters?
These cutters are designed for use with fondant, gumpaste, marzipan, and cookie dough intended for decorative purposes.
How do I clean the Geometric Cutter Set?
Wash by hand in warm, soapy water immediately after use. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing.
Are these cutters suitable for beginners?
Yes, the cutters are designed with simplicity in mind, making them ideal for beginners, as well as experienced decorators.
What are the dimensions of the cutters included?
The set includes 4 circle cutters (approx. 22mm, 32mm, 41mm, 56mm diameters), 3 square cutters (approx. 23mm, 37mm, 55mm), and 3 oval cutters (approx. 41mm x 23mm, 60mm x 35mm, 73mm x 40mm).
Can I use these cutters for non-edible crafts?
While primarily designed for edible mediums, they can potentially be used with craft materials like clay or play-doh, though cleaning may require more care.
How can I create embossed effects with these cutters?
After cutting your shape, you can use a ball tool or other embossing tools to add texture or designs within the geometric outline before it fully sets.
What is the advantage of the 'tappit' design?
The 'tappit' design refers to the ease of ejecting the cut shape by simply tapping the cutter, minimizing distortion and ensuring a clean release.
Troubleshooting
Fondant or gumpaste sticks to the cutter.
Ensure the medium is rolled to an appropriate thickness and lightly dust your work surface and the cutter with cornstarch or icing sugar before pressing. Tapping the cutter firmly can also help release the shape.
Cutters leave ragged edges.
Make sure your fondant or gumpaste is not too soft or sticky. Allowing it to firm up slightly before cutting can help. Ensure you press down firmly and evenly.
Cutter shapes are not precise.
Ensure the medium is rolled evenly and to a consistent thickness. Check that the cutter itself is clean and undamaged. Practice the pressing and tapping technique for optimal results.
