Choose a mass from which you want to cut out the ladybugs afterwards. You can use marzipan or flower paste, but fondant, Massa Ticino and modeling chocolate are also suitable. Depending on the mass, use a different base. For the sugar masses, a little baker's starch will keep them from sticking to the work surface. A silicone mat is also a good choice.

Now roll out the mass a little thicker to 2 to 3 mm. The beetles look most realistic when they are not completely flat. Once you are satisfied with the thickness, you can use light pressure to cut out the shapes. Then press down the ejector once, this way you will imprint the dots. Then press out the ladybug with the ejector.

The individual ladybugs can also be further decorated. With an airbrush create noble color gradients. To really set the scene for the dots, you can paint them with some powder or paste color, some royal icing or with a food pen. The little bugs look especially great when you stick them to a previously made fondant flower or leaf with the help of a dab of egg white icing. The possibilities are endless, with these simple cookie cutters you can create many different pretty and classy decorations. Enjoy the simplicity and decorate your cupcakes and cakes with cute ladybugs!
