Whenever I try to cut something out in fondant that isn't a straight line where I can use a pizza cutter type wheel, it always tears and the edges aren't smooth. In addition, the knife pulls the fondant distorting my shape! I usually cut shapes out with a zacto knife and I've tried dipping it in confectionary sugar, putting the knife in hot water, etc. and I have had no luck. Anyone have a solution to this?
That happens to me sometimes, but it's usually when I'm cutting too fast. If I slow down a bit, that seems to take care of it.
Also, sometimes if I'm really having a tough time I use an up and down method, making a lot of single cuts in a row..... kind of like sawing, I guess. The edges aren't smooth, but the fondant doesn't tear and I can smooth the edge once my shape is cut out.
