Know before you buy
Yes, they work well with cookie dough, though they are specifically optimized for fondant and gum paste. For the best results with dough, ensure it is chilled before cutting to maintain the butterfly's detailed wing impressions.
The plunger mechanism acts as an ejector, allowing you to press the cut shape directly onto your cake or board without having to pry it out manually. This prevents the delicate fondant or gum paste from stretching or losing its shape.
While the durable plastic is sturdy, we recommend hand-washing these cutters with warm, soapy water. This helps preserve the integrity of the plunger spring and ensures the fine details of the butterfly wings remain clean and functional.
The set includes a large cutter at 2.3 x 2.3 inches, a medium at 1.95 x 1.95 inches, and a small at 1.6 x 1.55 inches. All three pieces have a consistent height of approximately 1.8 to 1.95 inches to ensure a comfortable grip.
These plunger cutters are designed to emboss a detailed pattern onto the wings while simultaneously cutting the outline. This gives your finished butterflies a realistic, textured look rather than a flat, plain shape.
