Fondant Cut-Outs
One of the simplest techniques for decorating with fondant is to create cut-outs. Fondant shapes can be applied to lay at on the surface of a treat or dried so that they hold their shape when used as a topper.

Additional Information
Step 1
Roll out fondant to an even thickness using the fondant roller with purple guide rings. Dust the top of the fondant with a little cornstarch or confectioners’ sugar as you roll out (this will help make neat cut-outs).
Step 2
Press the cut-out into the at piece of fondant.
Step 3
Pull the excess fondant away rather than pulling out the newly cut shape. This will prevent the shape from being distorted.
Step 4
Attach the fondant decoration to your treat.
Hints:
- Shapes can sometimes be too soft to transfer. Let the shapes set for about an hour before applying to a treat.

This can make cakes look awesome. I made fondant cutout cakes many time and it was fantastic. Circle cut-outs of 3 different colors and sizes look great on a white fondant background. I even use marbled colored fondant in shapes of shooting stars laid on a butter cream cake and gave it a cute effect that was very easy to create.

Fondant cut outs are very simple, and can look very classy on any cake. I have found when sticking fondant cutouts to fondant, using Wilton's gum paste mix with a little bit of water makes them stick really well. :)
