How to Use
For best results, use this cutter set with modelling paste or flower paste.
Full step-by-step instructions on how to use this cutter set are provided on the reverse of the packaging; see those same instructions summarised below for your convenience:
1. Dust your work surface with cornflour or icing sugar using the FMM Dab-A-Dust, and then roll out your paste to approximately 2mm thick.
2. Place cutter number 1 or 2 (diagrams provided on the packaging - required cutter depends on the decoration that you’d like to create) on top of your rolled out paste and apply pressure with your hand. Gently slide the cutter backwards and forwards on your work surface to achieve a clean cut.
3. Place your panels on a firm foam pad to dry.
4. Depending on what you’re creating, cutters 1 and 2 are the front and back of your cake topper decoration. Using cutter 3, you can now make the panels for your roof and base, whilst cutter 4 is used to make the side panels of your cake decoration - these cutters should be used in the same way as cutters 1 and 2.
5. Once you have left all of your decoration components to dry, secure them together using royal icing; you may need to support your novelty cake topper whilst doing this.
You can also use cutters 1 and 2 to make 2d decorations for the top or side of your cake; you can adhere this immediately after cutting using water or edible glue.
