FAQs

Can I use these cutters with regular cookie dough?

While primarily designed for fondant and pastes, you may be able to use them with firm cookie dough. Ensure the dough is well-chilled and handle the cut-outs gently.

How do I get the best results when coloring the toppers?

Once the topper is dry, you can use edible lustre dusts for dry brushing, or mix lustre dust with a little clear alcohol (like vodka) or lemon extract to create edible paint for finer details.

What is the best type of paste to use for intricate details?

Flower paste or a good quality modelling paste is recommended as they dry firm and hold their shape well, making intricate details easier to handle.

How many cutters are included in this set?

The 'Make A Pram' set contains over 15 pieces for creating pram designs in two different sizes.

Are these cutters dishwasher safe?

No, these cutters are not dishwasher safe. Hand washing with warm water and mild soap is recommended to maintain their integrity.

Can I use these cutters for chocolate molds?

These are cutters, not molds. They are designed to cut shapes from pliable materials like fondant or paste, not to form melted chocolate.

Troubleshooting

Cutter not cutting cleanly through paste

Ensure the paste is rolled to an appropriate thinness. Knead flower or modelling pastes well before use. Apply a very thin layer of vegetable fat to the paste or cutter if sticking is an issue.

Design sticking to the cutter

Lightly grease the cutter with vegetable shortening. Ensure the paste is not too soft or sticky. Dusting the paste very lightly with cornstarch before cutting can help.

Delicate parts of the design breaking

Allow the cut-out design to dry slightly on a sponge pad for about 10 minutes before handling. Use a soft brush to gently lift the design if needed.

Topper not adhering to the cake

Lightly moisten the back of the dried topper with water using a clean brush. For heavier toppers, consider using edible glue or royal icing.
