Hugely popular and perfect for birthday cakes, the Unicorn Cutter by Patchwork Cutters is the easy way to create amazing unicorn designs that you can customise however you like.

This magical creature can be used to decorate the tops and tiers of birthday cakes and is sure to bring a smile to the faces of your guests. It is easy to use and once turned out, your toppers can be coloured and decorated however you wish.

How to use for best results:

• Rub a little vegetable fat such as Trex onto a non-stick board and roll out your black fondant or flower paste until it is thin.

• Grease the cutter and place onto the paste, pushing into the paste firmly at the sides.

• Remove the cutter and surplus paste using a scriber or cocktail stick to remove the small pieces.

• Use a small plastic knife to remove the design onto a sponge drying pad, then leave to dry for approximately 10 minutes before moistening the back with water to attach to your cake.

You can also colour the designs by cutting them out in a base colour of sugarpaste, then brushing a little lustre dust to highlight certain areas or mixing the lustre dust with alcohol to paint on the features you desire.

As well as sugarpaste, patchwork cutters can be used for a variety of decorating mediums including flower and modelling paste marzipan and modelling chocolate. For best results when using flower/modelling paste, knead well before using the cutter.
