If you’re a pastry chef…

You may recognize these as helpful gadgets used to cut out puff pastry, but they are also marvelous for cutting out metal and polymer clay designs.  Made of nylon and fiberglass and virtually unbreakable, they have extremely sharp, seamless edges.  I found these at shadesofclay.com and they come in a variety of shapes.  Each shape comes in a set of seven to nine cutters housed in a plastic container for storage.  Sizes range from approximately three-quarters of an inch for the smallest up to three or four inches for the largest.  Granted, it’s doubtful that I’ll be using the larger sizes for cutting clay, but should I decide to make puff pastry or roll out cookies, I’m good to go!
