A review of the Fox Run Daisy Fondant Plunger Cutter Set; A fun and simple way to create perfect flower decorations for your cupcakes and cakes. This product receives Sarah’s Bake Studio’s – five cupcakes.
Cupcake Confession...I am a fan of DC Cupcakes. I've seen every episode. I seriously envy Katherine and Sophie; they have the successful cupcakery business I dream of having. I hope to one day visit Georgetown Cupcakes {bucket list}. I own their book, The Cupcake Diaries. Their other book, Sweet Celebrations is on my Amazon Wishlist. I have a ridiculous attraction to their signature swirl. You may think I am obsessed; I think I am highly inspired and have a healthy admiration for all things Georgetown Cupcakes. 😉
So, what does my obsession admiration have to do with Georgetown Cupcakes? I also have a fondness for the little fondant cutouts they put on their cupcakes. They are so simple and tasteful. You don't need mad skills to create these fondant cutouts, just a fondant plunger cutter set.
I LOVE the Fox Run 4-Piece Daisy Fondant Plunger Cutter Set. I originally came across a similar product on a cake decorating supply website. Their version was a little pricey, so I did what I always do - I checked Amazon. I am an Amazon fanatic {we'll save that for another post}. Amazon didn't have the same model, but they did have the affordable Fox Run 4-Piece Daisy Fondant Plunger Cutter Set. I HAD to have it!
I found this Fox Run 4-Piece Daisy Fondant Plunger Cutter Set to be better than I expected. I guess I was unsure since it was so much cheaper than the version that led me to Amazon, plus I've never used a fondant plunger cutter. This product worked wonderfully though and achieved exactly the results I was looking for {cute little fondant daisies}.
This product comes with four Daisy Fondant Plunger Cutters in various sizes. The diameter of the flowers are roughly: 1 ⅜", 1 1/16", ¾", and ½". The product is made of durable, lightweight plastic and is dishwasher safe, but easy enough to wash by hand.
The Fondant Plunger Cutter Set is also very easy to use. All you do is push the cutter into your fondant and then lift up. The fondant should be inside the cutter. You then push the plunger down and the fondant daisy will either be pushed out of the cutter or you can easily pull it off the plunger with either your fingers or a fondant tool. I was punching out daisies like a madwoman!
I made marshmallow fondant to use with this product and it worked beautifully. I am not a fan of fondant. Although aesthetically pleasing, it just doesn't taste good. I equate it to eating plastic. The marshmallow fondant is a cinch to make and tastes better. I then dabbed a little water in the center and adorned it with an edible pearl to finish off my daisy flower.
I highly recommend the Fox Run 4-Piece Daisy Fondant Plunger Cutter Set to anyone looking to dabble in fondant, and/or looking to fancy up their cakes/cupcakes!
