Spring is in the air, with these great fondant plunger cutter set of butterflies from PME.

For added dimension, once dry, brush with Lustre Dusts and Blossom Tints to add colour and sparkle.

This Set of Butterfly Plunger Cutters is ideal for use with a wide range of edible and non-edible materials including: Sugar paste (rolled fondant), petal paste (gum paste), marzipan, craft clays and much more. Ideally finished with PME Lustre Spray.

How to use the butterfly cutter:
The butterflies cutters are really easy to use; simply roll out your sugarpaste or petal paste etc, press down the plunger to cut out the butterfly out and press and eject using the plunger. To obtain a finer finish use a ball tool to soften the edges.

Extra detail can be added by rolling a small amount of sugarpaste / petal paste in a long sasauge shape and fixing it to the centre of the butterfly to make the body. Secure the body in place with edible glue.
Feelers can aslo be added by using a stamen, cut in half.
Let the butterflies fly away - simply dry the butterflies in the disired shape in a alufoil.
