FAQs

What materials can I use this unicorn cutter with?

You can use it with edible materials like sugarpaste, gumpaste, and modelling paste. It can also be used with non-edible modelling pastes, but remember to use separate cutters for edible and non-edible substances.

How do I get the best cut?

Dust your work surface lightly, roll your paste to 2-3mm thick, apply firm pressure, and use a gentle back-and-forth sliding motion with the cutter.

What are the dimensions of the unicorn?

The cutter measures approximately 107mm from horn to tail and 81.5mm from the top of the mane to the bottom of the leg.

How do I release the unicorn from the cutter?

After cutting, gently tap the cutter on your work surface or use a soft brush to help release the unicorn shape. Allowing it to dry for a few minutes first can make it easier to handle.

Can I use this cutter for cupcakes?

Yes, you can create smaller unicorn toppers by using less paste or by adapting the design. They make excellent cupcake decorations.

How should I clean the cutter?

Hand wash the cutter with warm water and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

What is the recommended paste for best results?

For best results, FMM recommends using modelling paste with this cutter as it tends to hold its shape well and is easier to handle after cutting.

Troubleshooting

Paste sticks to the cutter

Ensure the work surface and paste are lightly dusted with cornflour or icing sugar. Avoid rolling the paste too thinly. Ensure a clean, firm pressing motion.

Cutter does not cut cleanly

Apply even pressure and use a gentle sawing motion. Ensure the paste is rolled to the recommended thickness. If using modelling paste, ensure it is not too dry.

Unicorn breaks when removing from cutter

Allow the cut paste to dry for a few minutes before attempting to remove it. Gently tap the cutter or use a soft brush to ease it out. Using a slightly firmer paste like gumpaste can also help.

Decoration appears smudged

Ensure the cut unicorn is sufficiently dry and firm before attempting to decorate. Use fine brushes and minimal moisture when applying edible paints or glue.
