Product Information

Full details

This set of two PME Santa Claus icing cutters is designed for home bakers and cake decorators looking to easily add festive Father Christmas shapes to their creations. The key benefit is the versatility in cutting various edible and non-edible materials, allowing for consistent, detailed designs on cakes, cookies, and more. A minor caveat is the need to keep cutters used with edible materials separate from those used with craft clays to maintain food safety.

FAQs

What materials can I use these Santa Claus cutters with?

You can use them with sugarpaste, gum paste, modelling paste, pastry, marzipan, and craft clays. Always keep cutters used with non-edible materials separate from those used with food.

Are these cutters dishwasher safe?

No, handwashing is recommended to maintain the integrity and longevity of the plastic.

What are the dimensions of the Santa Claus cutters?

The set includes a small cutter measuring 55 mm (2.2 inches) and a medium cutter measuring 120 mm (4.7 inches).

Can I use these cutters for cookies?

Yes, they are suitable for cutting cookie dough to create festive Santa-shaped cookies.

How do I ensure a clean cut every time?

Press firmly and evenly onto your material. Lightly dusting your surface and the cutter with cornflour or icing sugar can also help prevent sticking.

What is the product made of?

The cutters are made from durable, food-grade ABS plastic.

Can I use these for non-edible crafts?

Yes, they are suitable for use with craft clays and other non-edible modelling materials.

Troubleshooting

Cutters are not cutting cleanly through paste.

Ensure the paste is not too sticky or too dry. Lightly dust your work surface and the cutter with cornflour or icing sugar. Press down firmly and evenly.

The Santa shape is sticking to the cutter.

Lightly grease the cutter with a tiny amount of vegetable shortening or use a non-stick spray (ensure it's food-safe if working with edible materials). Alternatively, chilling the paste slightly before cutting can help.

Cutters are difficult to clean.

Soak briefly in warm, soapy water to loosen any dried-on paste. Use a soft brush or toothpick to gently remove stubborn bits. Ensure thorough rinsing and drying.

Accidental cross-contamination between food and craft clay use.

Immediately stop using the cutter for food and dedicate it solely to craft use. For future projects, purchase a separate set for edible materials. Thoroughly wash and dry both sets.
