Recommendations

• Have a wet and dry hand towels to clean knives, blades and cutters regularly to consistently achieve clean cuts. This will ensure clean smooth edges of the pastillage pieces in the centerpiece. Also be sure to clean the table with your wet towel, and than the dry towel each time you are about to roll out any pastillage. Use a bit of shortening or vegetable fat to prevent the pastillage from sticking to the table.
• This is art, and no method or technique is set in stone. This is why we recommend you watch the entire tutorial first before you start gathering all the things in the list above. You may think of ways you might substitute tools or techniques with your own ideas.
• If you would like to approximately match the size of the centerpiece in the tutorial, print the downloadable files at 100% size. If you require your centerpiece to be smaller or larger, just adjust the print size accordingly. Some elements overlap each other, so if you wish to cut out all the different parts to use as stencils, you may need to print multiple copies.
