This FMM Bicycle Cutter is designed for cake decorators and bakers looking to add intricate, themed decorations to their creations. Its primary benefit is enabling the easy creation of detailed bicycle motifs for cakes, cupcakes, and desserts, suitable for cycling enthusiasts or events. A potential caveat is that optimal results require specific pastes like modelling or flower paste, and some practice for clean cuts.

For the best results, we recommend using modelling paste or flower paste as they hold their shape well and provide clean cuts.
Wash the cutter by hand using warm water and a mild detergent. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent any sticking.
Yes, the cutter is compatible with various mediums, including fondant (sugarpaste), but modelling or flower paste will yield more defined results.
The approximate measurements for the finished motif are 6.5cm x 12cm, with the wheel measuring approximately 4cm x 4cm.
Yes, by allowing the cut bicycle and wheels to dry completely on a foam pad, you can create 3D decorations. These can then be secured to the top of a cake.
For flat decorations, use a little water or edible glue. For 3D decorations, use royal icing or small pieces of fondant for support once the pieces have dried.
Absolutely. You can decorate your cut-out designs with lustre sprays, edible dusts, and glitter for a vibrant and polished look.
Ensure the paste is not too soft and the work surface is lightly dusted. Try a very light dusting of cornflour inside the cutter itself before pressing.
Make sure the paste is rolled to an even thickness (2-3mm). Apply firm, consistent pressure when cutting and use a gentle back-and-forth motion.
Use a fine, pointed tool (like a Dresden tool or cocktail stick) to gently tease the delicate sections out. Ensure the paste has dried slightly before attempting removal.
Allow the cut pieces to dry on a foam pad for at least 30 minutes to an hour before handling or assembling, especially for 3D decorations.
Before first use, wash the cutter thoroughly with warm water. To use, dust your work surface lightly with cornflour or icing sugar. Roll out your chosen paste to a thickness of 2-3mm. Place the cutter firmly onto the paste and apply even pressure. Gently slide the cutter back and forth to ensure a clean cut. Carefully remove excess paste from around the cutter and between the intricate parts. Use a pointed tool to gently ease the cut-out shapes from the cutter. For best results, use modelling paste or flower paste. After use, wash the cutters by hand with warm water and mild soap, then allow them to air dry completely before storing. This cutter is compatible with various edible mediums including sugarpaste, icing, almond paste, modelling paste, flower paste, and marzipan.
