Tool Time

Tool Time the kitchen tools and gadgets I love.

Cutters; aspic cutters, cookie cutters & icing cutters. Love them! I use the small aspic cutters a lot, though my favourites are my tin of round cookie cutters, for cookies, cutting the centre out of cupcakes ready for filling, cutting fondant, savoury applications & they can also double as food rings. 

Plastic cutters do the job, tin cutters are less expensive & give cleaner lines, but if you're a regular baker I'd recommend investing in a set of rust proof stainless steel cutters.

Ready for filling, leave filled cake without the cake "plug" or put a teaspoon of filling in the hole and reinsert the cake "plug", ice/frost as usual.
