FAQs

What materials can I use with these cutters?

You can use sugarpaste, fondant, modelling paste, modelling chocolate, flowerpaste, and marzipan. Modelling paste is recommended for best results.

How do I use the cutters?

Roll out your chosen edible medium, dust the cutter with cornflour or icing sugar, place the cutter on the medium, press down firmly, and then gently tap to release the design.

How do I clean the cutters?

Wash the cutters with warm, soapy water and allow them to dry completely before storing.

Can I use these cutters for cookies?

Yes, you can use these cutters to create decorative elements for cookies, but be mindful of the thickness of the cookie dough.

What are the dimensions of each strip?

Each strip is approximately 25cm long.

What if my sugarpaste cracks when I use the cutters?

If your sugarpaste is cracking, it's likely too dry. Add a small amount of Tylo or CMC to your sugarpaste to strengthen it and speed up drying.

Are these cutters food safe?

Troubleshooting

The fondant/sugarpaste sticks to the cutter.

Ensure the cutter is dusted with icing sugar or cornflour before use. Also, make sure to use a good quality paste and roll it out thinly.

The pattern is not releasing cleanly.

Use modeling paste or add Tylo or CMC to sugarpaste. Tap the cutter firmly and gently to release the design. Let the paste dry a few minutes before release.

Cutters are difficult to clean.

Soak the cutters in warm, soapy water to soften any dried paste. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn residue. Ensure cutters are completely dry before storage.
