The Santa Sugarcraft Icing Cutter by Patchwork Cutters is designed for cake decorators of all skill levels who want to create professional, detailed festive decorations. It offers excellent versatility for working with various mediums like flower paste, marzipan, and modelling chocolate; however, users should note that because of the fine detailing, successful application requires careful handling and the use of a non-stick surface to prevent tearing.

No, this cutter is designed for thin modelling pastes, flower paste, and marzipan. It is not suitable for standard cookie dough.
You can add details by painting with food-grade alcohol mixed with lustre dust or petal dust once the design has dried.
Use a small dab of water on the back of the dried figure. If your cake is covered in fondant, a small amount of edible glue can also be used for a stronger hold.
While not strictly required, using a scriber or a cocktail stick to remove excess paste from the cutter is highly recommended for clean edges.
The cutter measures approximately 10cm x 7cm, making it an ideal size for a central topper on a standard-sized cake.
Lightly grease the surface of the cutter with a small amount of vegetable fat before pressing it into the paste.
Ensure the paste has been rolled thin enough and use a scriber to help release the edges of the paste from the cutter frame.
Allow the paste to dry on a sponge drying pad for 10-15 minutes before attempting to lift or move it to your cake.
This cutter is designed for precision work, so proper surface preparation is essential for success. Always ensure your paste is rolled thin but maintains structural integrity. Because the cutter features fine details, avoid pressing it too hard against a surface that is not firm, as this may distort the shape.
Care and maintenance are simple: wash the cutter by hand using warm, soapy water after each use. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could damage the edges of the plastic. Ensure the cutter is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture-related warping or surface degradation. It is compatible with all standard professional modelling pastes and flower pastes used in cake artistry.
