Here is a quick guide on how to make an edible saw blade.
1. For the edible saw blade, I added black and white icing together to make the grey colour.
2. Once I have kneaded it together fully, it gives me this grey colour. I then roll it in a ball, add a little tylo powder to it and then roll out flat like below.
3. Then, using my largest circle cutter or pastry cutter, I cut out a large circle.
4. Now, using a small circle cutter, I cut a hole in the middle also.
5. Now, to make the blade effect, to do this, I got a heart cutter and used the base of the heart to cut out the same sized blades.
6. Then, leave to dry overnight. I placed it on top of a plastic food bag that was lightly dusted with icing sugar (confectioners sugar) in order to harden; I would also suggest making two of these in the event that one of them breaks.
