Cookie cutter set - application

Choose a mass from which you want to cut out the shells 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 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, so the shells do not necessarily have to be applied flat or glued down. Of course, you can also cut out two thinner shells, glue them together and thus use them as open shells. Once you are satisfied with the thickness, you can use light pressure to cut out the shapes. Then press down on the ejector once, this will imprint the lines. Subsequently, the shell is pressed out with the ejector.

The individual shells can also be further decorated. With an airbrush, noble color gradients are created. To color the center a little darker, it is best to use some powder paint. It looks especially great if you have designed an open shell and hide a small pearl-colored pearl in it. The possibilities are endless, with these simple cookie cutters you will succeed many different pretty and noble decorations. Enjoy the simplicity and decorate your cupcakes and cakes with sweet shells!
