How To Keep Blade From Dragging Through Fondant?
Decorating By tashistation Updated 19 Dec 2009 , 11:14pm by Cakepro
Whenever I am cutting a design freehand out of fondant, my exacto blade sort of drags through the fondant, causing little lines to form along the cutting edge.
It's sort of hard to explain but I hope that makes sense? It happens even with brand new blades. I've tried rolling thicker and thinner fondants but still I get this "dragging" affect... Any advice for creating nice, crisp, clean edges? Thanks!
Use a pastry wheel or a pizza cutter, or keep your X-Acto blade scrupulously clean.
Any bits of fondant on the blade will cause dragging.
I've had this problem with brand new straight out of the package blades so I don't think it's an issue of the blade not being clean... I'll try the shortening trick and see if that helps. thanks for the advice!
