Dust colours
* FP = flower paste = gum paste; SP = sugarpaste = fondant; to make a FP/SP mix, mix both types of paste together. I usually mix them in 1:1 ratio (f.ex. 50 g FP and 50 g SP).

If the paste is still soft, leave it for a few minutes to dry. The longer the flower paste dries, the less the cut-outs will lose their shape. Of course it can't dry out completely because it will be impossible to cut the shapes out ;)
Cut out a square and strips. Rub the underside of the cutters to ensure a clean cut.
