Patchwork Cutters - Christmas - NATIVITY SCENE

This cutter from Marion Frost's Patchwork Cutters range is a complete decoration in itself. It is set in an oval frame and depicts the nativity scene with Mary Joseph and baby Jesus all watched over by the Star of Bethleham. Use it for cake tops or for plaques. A beautifully traditional Xmas scene.

As with all Patchwork cutters this is very versatile and can be used in many different ways. Emboss directly onto the cake and then paint or cut out either as one piece or by applying a little more pressure to the cutter you can cut out in several sections allowing you to build up a 3d motif. If you cut out the motifs and leave to dry they can be used as free-standing decoration.

The recomended paste to use is Mexican paste which you can make yourself or can buy either as a ready to mix powder or as ready to use paste.
