Care Information

All tin cookie cutters are hand molded from tinplate, the industry standard of quality for years. Tinplate consists of thin sheets of steel, for everlasting durability, coated with tin on each side. Tin cookie cutters will not rust unless deeply scratched to the steel core or unless exposed to moisture.

To ensure a lifetime of use, simply handwash your cutters with warm, soapy water and dry promptly and thoroughly. Always use a soft cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive cleaning materials, metal scouring pads or any detergent that contains alkali or acid. For added protection, you may choose to enhance the drying process by placing your cutters in a slightly warmed oven, turned off, for 2-3 minutes. Also, you may take a hair-dryer on warm or hot setting and dry your cutters to ensure there is no trapped moisture.

Store all metal cookie cutters in a cool and dry place.

Christmas Light Bulbs Cookies

Wednesday, 23 November 2011 17:00

Kathia Castro here again form Pink Little Cake with another tutorial for The Cookie Cutter Company. I love making light bulb cookies. They are big and you can play with colors as much as you want. For these cookies I wanted to make something a little bit different using purple and green colors as a base. I also added some details to make the cookies pop and look extra cute.

To make these Bulb cookie designs you will need

Christmas green, light green, purple, lavender, red, white, and black royal icing (stiff for pipping and thin for flooding the cookies)
Pastry bags, couplers and tips #1,#2 and #10 round tip
Toothpicks
Silver Dragees
Food Writers
Food Silver Glaze (you can find it at most craft stores or online)
Squeeze bottles
Christmas Light Bulb Cookie Cutter
Pearl Luster dust (optional)
Fondant Holly leaves
Sixles

Making the purple and lavender Bulbs

Using tip #10 cut the hole in the center of the bulb "head" and then bake the cookies.

After baking, outline, flood, and let the cookies dry for a few hours before adding details.

Making the Snow Flake Lavender cookie

When your cookie is completely dry, using white royal icing and a piping bag with tip #1 draw the snow flakes.You can make them in diferent sizes to add dimention to the cookie.

Making the Lavander and Purple cookies with petals

This is an easy cookie design and you do not need a template for it. Just hand draw the petals adding as many petals as you want.

Outline and flood the petals using tip #2. Then attach degees with royal icing and add the stitching detail using tip #1. Let the cookie details dry for a couple of hours before painting them with the silver glaze.

Add detail with tip #2. Use tip #1 for stitching detail. The attach silver dragees.

Making the Christmas Light Bulb Cookies with Holly leaves

For these cookies I wanted to use a more traditional Christmas color, green. I also wanted to incorporate winter details to bring them to life. Start by outlining and flooding the cookies.

Let the cookies dry overnight.

When the cookies are completely dry, cover the bulb with a paper towel.

Now, hold the can of pearl luster spray a little away from the cookie and give them a light mist.

It dries very quicky, but I would reccomend you to leave the cookies untouched for a few minutes.

Making the Snowman Cookie

With stiff white royal icing and tip #10 make body and head of the snowman.

Let the snowman dry over night before adding the facial features with the food writers. For the hat, use tip #2 to outline and fill with black royal icing. Then Attach Holly leaves and sixlets with a dab of royal icing.

Chritsmas Tree and Snow Cookie

Outline and flood the tree and the "snow", add red "lights" with red royal icing using tip #1.

Attach Holly leaves and "berries".

And this last cookie looks just perfect with the Holly leaves and little "berries".

Are you ready for your holiday baking and cookie decorating?

I hope so, and I hope you enjoy!
