Are these cutters only for Christmas?

What materials can I use with these cutters?
The cutters are suitable for use with fondant, gum paste, marzipan, and other pliable cake decorating mediums.
How do I clean the cutters?
Hand wash them with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or dishwashers.
Are the materials safe for food contact?
Yes, the cutters are made from BPA-free, food-approved plastic.
Can I create a full poinsettia flower with just these cutters?
These cutters create the individual leaves. You will need to use additional techniques (like shaping, wiring, or assembling) to construct a complete flower.
Troubleshooting
Cutters sticking to fondant
Lightly dust your work surface and the fondant with cornstarch or powdered sugar before cutting. Ensure the fondant is not too sticky.
Edges of cut leaves are not clean
Ensure you are pressing the cutter straight down with firm, even pressure. If using gum paste, allow it to dry slightly before cutting for cleaner edges.
Cutters leaving excess plastic residue
Gently clean the inside edges of the cutters with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before use.
