While designed for sugarcraft, they can be used for cookie dough if the dough is firm enough and the design is simple enough to cut cleanly. You may need to chill the dough thoroughly.
Flower paste or modelling paste generally holds finer details better than standard sugarpaste due to their firmer consistency. Ensure these pastes are well-kneaded before use.
After the decorations have dried, you can use edible lustre dusts. Apply them dry for a shimmer, or mix with a clear alcohol (like vodka or lemon extract) to create edible paint for more vibrant coloring.
The measurements provided are approximate. Slight variations can occur depending on how thinly or thickly the paste is rolled and the specific medium used.
Drying time varies based on humidity and paste type. Generally, allow about 10 minutes on a sponge drying pad before attempting to attach them to your cake.
Yes, these cutters can be used with modelling chocolate. Ensure the modelling chocolate is pliable but not too soft before cutting.
Ensure the cutter is lightly greased with vegetable fat (like Trex) or lightly dust the paste with cornflour before cutting. Also, make sure the paste is rolled to an appropriate thickness.
Use a fine-tipped scriber tool or a cocktail stick to carefully push out excess paste from intricate areas after lifting the cutter.
Allow the cut toppers to dry on a sponge drying pad for approximately 10 minutes (or longer, depending on humidity) before handling to gain some rigidity.
Ensure the toppers are sufficiently dry before moistening the back with a small amount of water for attachment. Over-moistening can cause them to sag.

Compatibility: These cutters are compatible with a wide range of sugarcraft mediums, including:
