Welcome Its always an exciting time when here at PME we launch new products and this time round

ts always an exciting time when here at PME we launch new products and this time round even more so,
as we add THREE new Plunger Cutters to the range

Happy Birthday is probably the most popular cake message of all time and it simply couldnt be any easier than
with these two new cutters. Emboss, Cut & Eject, it really is that simple

The original much loved Veined Butterfly cutters were designed in 2009 and we are delighted to be adding a set of
three Mini Butterflies. Beautiful and delicate we are sure that these cutters will fly in every sense of the word.

The first PME veined plunger cutters were launched over 20+ years ago and since then our engineering skills have
been applied to create a variety of leaf, flower, plaque and shaped cutters. With the ever growing popularity of the
beautiful Peony it all but cried out for a plunger cutter

When it came to choosing the products for this issues competition the choice was obvious, its all about the three
new plunger cutter sets. So make sure that you check out Page14 for the full details
and you never know they could be coming your way soon

mini butterfly explosion
Butterflies and celebration
cakes are a match made in
heaven and these new mini
butterflies bring a beautiful
touch of delicate elegance

Preparation
Prepare the cakes by stacking two cakes
together to create double height cakes.
Coat both cakes with White Sugarpaste and
assemble using the small cake dummy as a
separator. Trim the bottom of each tier with
a simple piped border, created by softening
a small quantity of white sugarpaste with
a little water and placed into a piping bag
fitted with the 2.5 piping tube.

Basic Butterfly Technique

1 Colour small quantities of Gum Paste into

Pale Blue, Pale Pink, Pale Yellow and White.
Roll the paste out finely. Place the plunger cutter
onto the paste and press down the plunger to
emboss the butterfly

2 Cut out the shape by pushing down firmly

onto the cutter

butterfly shape
