What is a contour cutter with a hint and how is it used?

There are many types of cutters on the market. I decided to make not only standard outline cutters, but cutters with markings .

The cutter is suitable for cutting dough, various types of coating materials, marzipan, polymer material (e.g. Fimo), self-hardening material or ceramics. Using my cookie cutters, you can create sweets, jewelry or decorations that always have the same and exact shapes. You can also use them to make treats for pet pets or to make decorations for important days or holidays of the year (Valentine's Day, Halloween, Christmas). The advantage of cutters is their quick and easy handling of working with them.

You can use the twist cutter to create a cookie or gingerbread, which you then don't need to decorate any more. Or you can use pre-printed outlines to cover them with frosting, for example. You can also use the pre-printed outlines as a template and just "color" them with the prepared colored glaze. The use is really wide. It is important not to confuse the cookie cutter with an indication with the cross-sectional cookie cutter for Linnaeus cookies. They look pretty much the same, but the cookie cutter will cut your dough right down to the mat. The contour cutter with the indication is not cut out onto the mat, but is stuck into the dough (or other material). This is the main and important difference in my cutters. Most of the cookie cutters in my e-shop are created in the form of cookie cutters with hints. If they are cross-section cutters that are suitable for line cookies, I have stated it directly in the name of the cutter.

Here I wrote an article about the differences between a cross-section cutter and a cutter with an indication.

When using outline cutters with hints, you can try different methods or get advice from me on how to get the outline to print as well as possible and not deform. It really depends on what material you use the cutter for. You can proceed in different ways to achieve the best result. When working with the dough, you can use food foil, plain flour or cocoa. When working, just have a bowl with plain flour next to you and dip the cutter in the flour before each cut. The same applies to cocoa, with the difference that the outline will then be brown, and as a result, the cookie cutter can look very effective. When imprinting in fondant or other coating materials, it is advisable to sprinkle the cutter with powdered sugar. It all depends on the type of material and its stickiness.
