Description
Fan cutter allows you to create a variety of gorgeous fan designs. If you wish, while dough is still soft, use other tiny cutters to elaborate, as shown in example. The double slits at the top of the cutter allow the artist to thread and weave a 3/8 inch wide ribbon (.9cm) through the top of each dried slat to join pieces. As explained in the instructions in my book, one can also poke a tiny hole with a #3 piping tip in the center of the rounded bottom. Then later once slats are dried, a floral wire can be inserted into overlapping bottoms to secure finished fan. In other words, the top of the slats are tied together with a ribbon and the bottom, where they overlap, is kept stable with a short length of wire.
Instructions can be found in my book, “Cakes By Design”.
These metal cutters are handmade, and provide the sharpest of cut for a perfectly clean edge of petal or leaf. Double-seamed on top to protect fingers, and to keep shape from changing, the metal is as thin as possible, yet strong, enabling intricate subtle shapes to be formed for botanical accuracy. Used in tandem with WSA line of silicone veiners, the natural end result will mesmerize, and surpass even your own expectations of what can suddenly appear from your hands while creating the magical World of Sugar Art!
