I purchased this last month and used it once for a short time. I used it wrapped in aluminum foil, so there are no noticeable scratches or stains. It has a strong presence and was very cute, even for small cakes. The burnt smell has been present since I purchased it and is unique to the processing. Size: Total length 12.2cm, Character height 4.8cm, width 4.5cm From the following site: When inserting into food, always wrap it in aluminum foil, etc., before use. Burnt marks are attached to the surface and sides. Due to moisture, the burnt marks may adhere to the surroundings, so please be careful when using it with food. If it gets wet, dry it completely before use. Using it as is will make it easier to break. This product has burnt marks on the surface. Please enjoy the antique feel of the uneven burning characteristic of laser processing machines. ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ ❁ As this is a home-stored item, please refrain from purchasing if you are at all concerned. ❁ We have checked the item before listing, but there is a possibility of oversight due to amateur inspection.
