FAQs

What is the size of the letters?

Each letter and number in the FMM Carnival set measures approximately 2.2cm in height.

Can I use these with cookie dough?

These cutters are designed for sugar-based mediums like modelling paste and marzipan; they are not recommended for baking cookie dough.

Are they dishwasher safe?

It is recommended to hand wash these cutters in warm soapy water to ensure the fine details of the cutters remain intact.

What is the best medium to use?

Modelling paste is highly recommended because it provides the best structure for small, detailed cuts.

How many cutters are included?

The set includes three individual strips that feature the full alphabet and number set.

Troubleshooting

The paste is sticking inside the cutter

Lightly dust your work surface and the cutter with cornflour or icing sugar before pressing.

Edges of the letters are ragged

Your paste may be too soft. Use modelling paste or mix a stiffener like Tylo powder into your sugarpaste.

Difficulty lifting the shape from the board

Use a small palette knife or a pair of fine-tipped tweezers to carefully lift the cut-out shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Clean, professional-looking character edges
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Compact size is perfect for standard cupcakes and cake toppers
  • Comprehensive set covers all naming and dating needs

Cons

  • Requires modelling paste for optimal sharpness
  • Individual characters are small and may be fiddly for some users
  • Not intended for use with very soft or sticky doughs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first use, ensure the cutters are washed in warm, soapy water and dried thoroughly. To maintain the integrity of the plastic, avoid using harsh abrasives during cleaning. For compatibility, while the cutters work with various mediums, modelling paste is highly recommended because it dries firmer, which helps maintain the shape of the letter after cutting. If using sugarpaste, consider adding a small amount of Tylo powder or CMC to stiffen the paste before cutting to ensure the 2.2cm characters do not lose their shape during transfer to your bake.
