There are 75 products.
With shape cookie cutters such as heart, circle, star or square you can bake the classic biscuits – shapes you will reach for again and again in your kitchen. We present our range of geometric cutters: diamond, round or square shapes, you will find what you need here. There are also hexagons, rectangles, ovals, teardrops and flags, plain or fluted, sold individually or in handy sets with up to 14 sizes.
Ideas for biscuits, cakes and pastries
Basic shapes are true all-rounders. Use round cutters for shortbread, fondant discs or pastry lids for mini pies, and the donut and bagel cutter shapes yeast dough in one go. Hearts are popular for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and weddings, while stars belong on every plate of Christmas cookies.
- Sandwich and Linzer biscuits: the Spitzbuben cutter set or the Linzer heart cutter with ejector make filled double biscuits with a window.
- Shape within a shape: heart in heart, star in a ring or heart in a ring – the mini cutters create pretty peek-through effects.
- Embossed designs: cutters with an embossing ejector such as «Best Wishes» or LOVE press a message straight into the dough.
- For fondant: the cake border embosser and cutter set with heart and diamond decorates the edge of your cake.
Cutting tips
- Chill the dough briefly after rolling it out so the edges stay crisp.
- Dip the cutter in flour before each cut so nothing sticks.
- Press straight down without twisting – the biscuit keeps its shape.
- A set in several sizes helps you make the most of leftover dough.
What to look for when buying
First think about what you will use the cutter for most often. Sets with many sizes, such as the round cutters with 11 or 14 pieces, are worthwhile for anyone who bakes regularly. Cutters with an ejector release small or delicate shapes cleanly. If you like to mix and match, choose the Klassik Mix and Match cutter or the embossed frame cutter set. For ice cream, mousse or tartlets there is also a round, conical silicone cutter for cutting and pressing.
Combinations for every occasion
Basic shapes combine beautifully with other designs. Round biscuits form the base for fondant toppers, squares and rectangles become little gift parcels with icing, and hexagons placed side by side create a honeycomb pattern on a cake. Use flags to decorate biscuits for Swiss National Day on 1 August or a football party, while teardrops turn into petals that you can arrange into a whole flower.
