AHello!
Does anybody have any idea how these scalloped chevron stripes on the middle tier were done? Do you think they were hand cut? Thank you!
It looks like she used a small cutting wheel. Wilton has different patterns. Also I think PME has a cutting wheel with different wheels.
AI'm so happy to hear there may be cutters for the scalloped patter, but I can't seem to find them :-(
AThis is a blade set that is used for sewing but if you go to joanns fabrics you can buy the handle that goes with these blades

Here's some rotary cutters but you can buy them cheaper at a craft store using a coupon.

Looks to me like it was cut using the FMM strip cutters

Did nobody notice my post? Is it even showing? Because if it were AND you had looked you would see that the cutter ......
is FOUND! 
Applegum Pam - I dont think it is the frill cutters. Reason why is she also uses a stitching pattern in the middle of the chevron. Wilton has a new product called a Detailed Embosser that has two extra wheels that pop on the handle. Each wheel has 3 patterns. Dash (stitch), scalloped, wave, dot , etc. My wheel is an old Wilton that had two extra little wheels that have different patterns. I think it is white and the wheels slip into the handle.
But you just might be right too! Too bad we can't just ask her!
Oh gosh - sometimes I think you people OVER-ANALYSE things - without wanting to sound persnickty, sometimes the answer is staring you straight in the face but you just don't want to see it
In an effort to clear the forest from the trees....... I quickly rolled and cut for you
YES - it IS only 2 stripes ..... BUT you can make as many as you like :P
The 'middle' is not stitched - not something rolled over the fondant - it is quite simply the SAME cutter - just pressed a little lighter to 'emboss the strip rather than CUT through it
This is not perfect - but it did only take 2mins - I am sure you COULD find another way that might take more time...... but seriously - WHY?
Applegum Pam,
That's the one I sent to the OP in a PM, but I e-mailed it to her because the link I had was a site that is blocked by CC. You posted the very one on a different site/supplier.
Oh good ! I am NOT crazy LOL ...... oh - hang on - maybe we BOTH are crazy haha
ABrilliant! Thank you all so much!! I am fairly new to cake decorating, so I still have a lot to learn. I appreciate all who have taken the time to reply. :grin:
So if someone in the United States was also wanting something similar to this, where would it be purchased? The site listed above by Applegum Pam is in Australia, but I like that particular frill cutter. Shanter, is the one you PM'd a different vendor that could be used in the US or is it the same vendor?
I know the creator of the cake so I emailed her. She said it was the scalloped zigzag from the Straight Frill Cutter Set 1. Here is the link -http://********************/catalog/gumpaste/FMM/JEM.htm
Why did they block it? You can check **********.
Told you it couldn't be posted here. If I try to give you the hints so you can figure out the ***** part, CC will scold me, so just PM me your e-mail address.
Edited to say
My offer still stands, but I did find this:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003RYX1YI/?tag=cakecentral-20
which is not exactly the same, much shorter, and I can't tell if the ends are open. I think they would have to be, as who would want to cut a chevron/frill that was only 3 motifs long!
AYou can get them from **********. Google frill cutters and you will find sellers. You can find them on eBay as well.
Thanks Cakegirl for finding the answer! I'm pretty sure the straight frill can be found at Global Sugar Arts as well.

Thanks Applegum. Sorry for upsetting you so much; not my style.
Your new "persnikity" admirer and friend. :)

I bought my set of cutters from Cake Crafts in Englewood, CO, in case anyone is in the area. When I purchased them, I thought they would make a great chevron-style decoration on a cake.
Looks to me like it was cut using the FMM strip cutters

I was right there with you guys, the whole time, lol. I never thought to use it that way, though. It is very pretty. And I have 2 of them, that would make short work of it!

I have that too. Complete utter crap, and a waste of a good $15 or so.
Anna, are you talking about the new Wilton wheel? It isn't worth the money? Sorry to hear that.

No, I have the first one, but I would not buy the second because they basically stole my money for the one I got. The handle is a joke, you may as well just put your hands on it and roll it like a rolling pin. The more pressure you put on it, the more it bends, and still doesn't evenly emboss or cut all the way through.
They should have a trade in program, the first for the second, if they are going to continue to sell their products when they should be in the development stage.
