Troubleshooting
Cutter sticks to the paste
Ensure the paste is not too sticky. Lightly dust your work surface and the cutter with cornstarch or icing sugar before cutting.
Cut edges are not clean
Ensure the paste is rolled thinly and evenly. Press down firmly and evenly on the cutter. Consider allowing the paste to dry slightly before cutting if it's very soft.
Difficulty removing the cut shape
Use a fine spatula or lifting tool to gently ease the cut shape from the cutter or work surface.
Frill effect is uneven
Practice the technique with a mini rolling pin or frilling tool. Ensure the paste is pliable enough to be worked without tearing. Apply gentle, consistent pressure.
