How to use for best results:
• Rub a little vegetable fat such as Trex onto a non-stick board and roll out your black fondant or flower paste until it is thin.
• Grease the cutter and place onto the paste, pushing into the paste firmly at the sides.
• Remove the cutter and surplus paste using a scriber or cocktail stick to remove the small pieces.
• Use a small plastic knife to remove the design onto a sponge drying pad, then leave to dry for approximately 10 minutes before moistening the back with water to attach to your cake.
You can also colour the designs by cutting them out in a base colour of sugarpaste, then brushing a little lustre dust to highlight certain areas or mixing the lustre dust with alcohol to paint on the features you desire.
As well as sugarpaste, patchwork cutters can be used for a variety of decorating mediums including flower and modelling paste marzipan and modelling chocolate. For best results when using flower/modelling paste, knead well before using the cutter.
Patchwork Cutters have always been at the forefront of the cutter market. They have been established for over 20 years, and include not only classic designs but also contemporary based, suited for both beginners and established cake designers alike.
The designs measure approximately: 3” x 3.5”.
