FAQs

Can I use these with chocolate?

These are designed for icing and modelling pastes. They are not recommended for solid chocolate slabs.

What is the exact height of the letters?

Each character is approximately 2cm tall.

Do I need to wash them in the dishwasher?

Hand washing in warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the life of the plastic.

Can I use these on dry cookies?

You should apply these to a layer of fondant or icing on top of the cookie rather than cutting directly into the cookie dough.

What is the best way to clean inside the tiny gaps?

Use a small, soft-bristled brush or a toothpick to gently remove any dried icing residue.

Troubleshooting

Icing sticks inside the cutter

Ensure your paste is firm and not too soft. Lightly dust the cutter with cornstarch before use.

Edges of the letters are ragged

Your paste may be too thick or you need a cleaner, sharper press. Try rolling the paste thinner.

Letter deforms when tapping out

Wait longer for the paste to firm up after rolling it out, or use a medium with more snap like florist paste.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable food-grade plastic construction
  • Professional font style ideal for themed occasions
  • Compact storage design compared to traditional cutters
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Versatile for both professional decorators and home hobbyists

Cons

  • Requires practice to achieve a perfect 'tap out' release
  • Font style may not be suitable for formal or minimalist designs
  • Small size requires steady hands during application

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: For optimal performance, dust your surface lightly with cornstarch or icing sugar to prevent sticking.

Compatibility: These cutters work best with pastes that have some elasticity, such as gumpaste or florist paste. If using soft fondant, add a pinch of Tylo powder to improve structural integrity.

Care: Wash the cutters in warm, soapy water after use. Avoid using abrasive sponges that may scratch the plastic. Ensure the cutters are completely dry before storage to prevent residue buildup inside the narrow letter channels.
