3 Pcs Cactus Fondant Cutter and Embosser Set - Ribbed Column, Prickly Pear and Barrel Cactus for Desert Theme Cakes and Cookies

Three cacti in three different shapes and sizes, which is what turns a row of identical shapes into a desert scene. A tall ribbed column with side arms at 8.0 x 4.8 cm, a rounded prickly-pear paddle in a slatted planter at 7.4 x 5.0 cm, and a compact barrel cactus at 5.5 x 4.7 cm. Scatter them at different heights around a cake side and it reads as a planted garden rather than a repeated motif - and the two potted versions come with their planters attached, so there is nothing extra to cut or line up. Each piece cuts the outline and presses the ribbing, spines and pot slats in at the same moment. Cactus ribbing is fine, evenly spaced and completely unforgiving to pipe by hand; here it comes out of the cutter already there, and a light dusting or a wash of deeper green settles into the grooves to give the plant real depth. Add a tiny fondant flower on top and each cactus is finished. This is a theme that works well beyond children's parties - desert and boho cakes are a strong adult trend, and the same cutters suit birthdays, baby showers, engagements and house-warming cakes. Use on fondant, gum paste, flower paste, modelling chocolate and cookie dough, and on polymer clay for craft. Tylose powder in the paste speeds drying if you want the cacti to stand upright rather than lie flat.
