2010 Vday Cake Contest - What Cutter Is This?

karenm0712 Posted 3 Feb 2010 , 5:32pm

My SIL loves this cake (see below link) - it is a cake currently in the 2010 V-Day contest. My question is what cutter is used for the black fondant decorations? I would ask the person who submitted it, but they are not listed yet...

Anyone have any ideas?

I have no idea but it would be a good pattern to use with the cricut.

Makes a great hounds tooth effect. Almost looks like a xmas star.

Looks like something that is left over when you cut out some other design. Does that make sense?

I like it too, and I agree that it kinda looks like a Christmas star. Interested in finding out.

It looks like it started out as a square and then a "Lips" cookie cutter was used to cut off the four corners at an angle, leaving the star-like shape that we see now... but maybe I'm way off base.

No, I think you're spot on.

wow, would have not thought about that till you described it. I think you are right on the dot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't one of the Patchwork Cutters have that design?

Oh no! I didn't get any emails saying anyone responded!

I am going to try the square & lips cutter tonight! I think that is the trick to this look.

Thanks everyone for responding!
