Question: Hi I am an amateur cake decorator. Is there an easy way to make fondant applique's... patterns such as damask or lacy or scrolls without spending a fortune on expensive cutters?? and on that note, I am not sure where to find a wide variety of pattern cutters. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. This photo is an example:

Answer:
Global Sugar Art has a variety of products that can make it easier for you and I noticed that some of their stuff is not terribly expensive. They have something called Edible Images in a damask pattern. They are 4.99 for a package of three 10 inch long strips.

I am hoping that one of my readers will jump in here and give us suggestions because I have not used cutters. (with the exception of polka dots and flowers. Any damask type of decoration that I do is with piping gel and very labor intensive.

If I come up with any ideas for you I will post comments here for you and if any one out there has a recommendation for Christina please feel free to comment.

Thanks
