Winter Wonderland

    Having seen Nicky's beautiful snowflake Christmas cake flickr.com/photos/smallthingsiced/3015738334/, I thought it was about time I put the snowflake cutters I had already bought to use ......... thanks for reminding me Nicky!

    The cutters Nicky used are Patchwork Cutters but these are PME plunger cutters. They may not be as intricate as the Patchwork ones but they were very easy to use and the snowflakes were quite robust.

    I think I will use this design (but in silver liners) for our "cupcake Christmas tree" this year.

    Fondant iced, snowflakes are Mexican paste with lots of edible glitter!

      (do you happen to know what brand the cutter set is?
      I just bought some cookie snowflake cutters & I would like to add

      Thanks so much everyone ...... I'm glad you like this ...... I think in a silver case it will look quite Christmas-y!
      They are PME Snowflake Plunger Cutters and come as a set of three ...... I've used the middle and smallest sizes here. I've found you a place in the US that stocks them and here's the link:

      Sooo gorgeous!! Can I ask what brand of edible glitter you used? Ive tried Wilton but doesnt seem to give it the same effect...

    22. abbietabbie (43 months ago | reply)

      Rosie ...... on these for the photo I used "Edable Art" 'White Hologram' which is strictly speaking non-toxic ..... ie it can be consumed safely in small quantities but won't be digested. If I was doing these to be consumed in quantity (like I will do at Christmas) I would use a wonderful totally edible twinkle called Magic Sparkles 'Snow White'. This dissolves on contact with liquid. It comes in rather large flakes so I just grind them into a powder and dust them on dry but you can use edible glue to stick them on.
      Here's a link to show you what I mean but I don't know who would stock them in Australia.

      Beautiful... I love the pretty snowflakes!!!

    26. alana_hodgson (43 months ago | reply)

      Very pretty! I have snowflake wedding cupcakes coming up in January. I just ordered those patchwork cutters, and also the celshapes snowflake molds. I'm probably a glutton for punishment because I've heard there both challenging to use compared to the plunger, but I was really hoping for a really delicate look. Wish me luck!!! These look really beautiful. Especially with the beautiful glitter!
