These versatile and imaginative plastic cutters are created and designed by Marion Frost of Patchwork Cutters. A must have for any cake maker, these cutters bring a whole new dimension to sugarcraft and cake decorating with fantastic designs to fit all occasions.

For best results the Patchwork cutters should be used with Mexican modelling paste which is ultra fine and less stretchy that traditional flower pastes. Mexican paste can be coloured prior to use and you can enhance your designs further by dusting them with blossom tints and lustre dusts.

How to use -

-Roll out moldeing paste very thinly onto a lightly greased non-stick surface. Do not lift the paste.

-Lightly grease the cutter and push firmly into the paste

-Remove the cutter and use a sharp tool or pin to remove the excess paste

-Allow to firm slightly before slightly before adding to your cakes

-Layer coloured paste to add more depth and detail to your decorations
