Montecristo Sugar Paste Flower Cutter

thingiverse

A craft tool for creating edible sugar paste flowers that adorn cakes. This specific tool cuts out intricate shapes like Montecristo or Daisy designs. The Montecristo flower in the image features purple petals surrounding a bright yellow center. To create a small bouquet, cut out numerous flowers and bundle them together. I assemble two purple petal cutouts by gluing them together, then insert a wire through the center of each, securing it with edible glue. For added texture, I use a grass piping tip to shape the yellow centers. When printing this tool, it's crucial to use high-resolution settings for optimal results, ensuring a smooth finish that minimizes the risk of bacterial growth after handling. Use food-safe plastic materials like PLA to guarantee quality and safety. As this design doesn't require a raft, simply print as is.
