Good question! And frugal too. You could do either. I would probably
do it before, even though they may not all hold up without tearing,
because once they are dry and hard it might be Very Difficult to get the
cutter through this medium-hard-ball sugar stuff.
You give me ideas involving some Japanese flower-shaped cutters I've had
kicking around for a while. Yum.
Happy days,
