How to use

Press the cutter straight down onto rolled dough or fondant on a floured or powdered surface to prevent sticking, then lift to reveal a clean round. For layered cakes, use the cutter as a guide to trim stacked layers to consistent diameters. If material sticks to the cutter, gently run a thin knife around the inside edge or dust the cutting edge with a little flour or cornstarch before cutting. Clean the cutter after each use following the manufacturer's hygiene recommendations.

Usage recommendations

For best results, roll dough or fondant to an even thickness before cutting and use a lightly floured board or silicone mat to minimise sticking. When cutting multiple pieces, periodically clear crumbs from the cutting edge to maintain clean rounds.
