How do you use JEM butterfly cutters? I have seen people make beautiful lace butterflies using these cutters, so I went ahead and ordered a set. When I received them I was so exited to use them but didn’t realize how tricky they are. After several attempts I still haven’t been able to produce a decent looking butterfly using these cutters? Any advice would be appreciated :)
I do not have them but I do remember reading about them. Everyone seems to have issues with them too. You are better off mixing fondant & gumpaste and letting it dry a bit before using. I did find this youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fCa2oLDv4s It is not in English but I think you will get the idea. Hope this helps.
I answered your question under the butterfly cake pic you commented on if you want to take a look.

Thank you very much Goreti and SophiasCakeBoutique! After many tries I was able to make two butterflies, but they are not perfect. I guess I need to be more patient when using these cutters :)
