That is a great idea! I wonder why I couldn't have thought of something so easy and simple Rolling Eyes

I thought that it looked like plastic wrap (Saran), and NOT cellophane.

It didn't cut cleanly, either. The edges were really ragged.

Cool concept, though.

Great tip, I can't WAIT to try it. Some of my fondant cutters are terrible with sticking, I REALLY hope this helps! I agree it doesn't cut completely cleanly but I'm willing to tidy it up by hand if I can get the piece at least cut out, kwim?

And I agree it looks like saran Smile

Thanks for sharing!!

cool idea. I did notice that the edges were not clean cut and the dough looked soft if you chill dough before cutting it cuts smoother and freeze the cutout aprox 10min before baking they will bake perfect and will not bleed out I hope this help too.

maggiev777, I agree so what if the edges need a touchup here or there ... the main thing is to get it out easier and in one piece !!!
poshcakedesigns, definitely my main use to try this technique would be for use with fondant ...
To everyone else in this thread who thanked me for the tip you are soooooo very welcome !!! Embarassed

The edges were ragged because they pictures are with cookie dough. I think w/ fondant it might be better.

I usually just rub a little shortening around the cutter and it gives it a clean cut EVERY time.

You are right about the edges on that sample page they are still rough, to me it did look like Saran Wrap, cellophane is usually thicker. Or as they say collophane, LOL> I would have never thought of using Saran Wrap though, that is an interesting idea.

Thanks for the info!!!
