Patchwork cutters.

roll your paste thin, and I mean thin. put a dab of crisco/shortening on them<cutters> and get them WELL lubed, then if you still have a problem getting them out try tapping them out or take a small hat pin or straight pin and nudge the corners out and then tap them out.

What about using cooking spray on the cutters, like Pam. In your opinion, do you think that would make the gumpaste come out easier? Just a thought......

[2sdae]

yeah, but I'd be concerned what the chemicals in it might to do gum paste..or even stain it.

I can see your concern. I guess I'll see when I get home!(hehehe) I woke up at 4:00 this morning to get a start on my swags. Well, to go a little faster, I sprayed Pam in my swag mold and they were just a poppin out!!! BUT, what I did was this, I sprayed the Pam in the mold and then I wiped it out with a paper towel. I didn't want all that yucky stuff on it. The swags came really nicely and I left them to dry on my countertop. I figure they should be hard by the time I get home and hopefully without SPOTS!!!!

The molds came beautiful!!! Nice and white and no spots!!! I was really worried after our conversation yesterday. When I got home, I went straight to the kitchen to take a look and they came out very nice! Now I'm worried that maybe I made them too soon. The tylose, I'm happy to report, worked like a charm! My swags are stiff and that's what I wanted but now I'm worried that I won't be able to manipulate it the way I want to make it fit and look the way I want once on the cake. Am I wrong or should I just make more swags as I'm ready to place them on the cake?
