How to use

Place the rolled-out dough or fondant on a flat, lightly floured or powdered work surface.

For strips or repeated cuts, align the cutter at the desired interval and repeat the motion to maintain uniform widths. After use, remove any dough residues and wash according to the material care instructions before drying and storing.

Usage recommendations

For best results, chill sticky dough briefly to improve cutting performance and dust the work surface or cutter edge with a small amount of flour or cornstarch when working with fondant. Avoid excessive force to prevent deformation of delicate pastry; use multiple light passes if necessary.
