Vehicles & Transportation cutters
There are 43 products.
Vehicle cookie cutters bring movement to the biscuit plate: tractor, fire engine, locomotive or aeroplane – with our transport and vehicle cutters you bake cookies that make the eyes of little and big fans light up. Whether by car or by train: your cutters for cookies and cake decorations are waiting for you here.
The range stretches from the farm all the way to outer space. For the road there are car, sports car, bus, lorry, police car, fire engine, digger, motorhome and caravan, plus motorbike, scooter, motocross bike and bicycle. On the rails you will find a locomotive, a railway wagon and complete train sets, in the air an aeroplane, a jet plane and a helicopter. Sea lovers can choose a sailing ship, pirate ship, Viking ship, a set of ships and a lighthouse with anchor. For fairy-tale fans there is the princess carriage, for winter a sledge and for little explorers the space cutter.
Ideas for vehicle cookies
Vehicle cookies suit many occasions: a children's birthday with a fire brigade or construction site theme, party favours to take home, the first day of school or a thank-you for the godfather who collects locomotives. A tractor with trailer looks wonderful on a farm cake, while the aeroplane and helicopter accompany a travel or farewell party. Motorhome and caravan send friends off on holiday, and the police car delights every little detective.
Tips for cutting and decorating
- Use the plunger: many models such as the tractor, fire engine, motocross bike or locomotive have a plunger. It pushes delicate parts like wheels or rotor blades cleanly out of the cutter without tearing the dough.
- Embossing for details: cutters with embossing or a stamp – such as the motorbike, scooter or the locomotive and tractor sets – press windows, doors and lines straight into the dough. Your cookies look detailed even without icing.
- Chill the dough well: chill the shortcrust dough before cutting and put the cut-out cookies back in the fridge for a short while. Edges and wheels then keep their shape in the oven.
- Decorate with royal icing: vehicles live from colour – a red fire engine, a yellow digger, a blue police car. Pipe the outlines first, then flood the surfaces and finish with details such as windows or flashing lights.
Combinations and sets
The sets let you tell whole stories: the locomotive with wagons or the locomotive with train make a long cookie train winding across the birthday table. The tractor with trailer comes with or without an embossing stamp, the car as a set, as a 3-piece set and on its own. The princess carriage set in 2 sizes and the 2-piece princess and carriage set are perfect for fairy-tale cakes, while the 2-piece lighthouse and anchor set suits a maritime dessert table.
What to look for when buying
First think about how detailed your cookies should be. Cutters with plunger and embossing are ideal when children want to help, because pushing out the cookie is easy. Stainless steel cutters such as the car or the lorry are sturdy and cut cleanly even through cold dough; the helicopter cutter is made of plastic. For some cutters the size is stated – from the railway wagon at 5 cm to the sledge at 10.5 cm – so you can pick shapes that fit your cookie tin or cake.
FAQ about vehicle cookie cutters
Which vehicle cookie cutters are best for children?
Models with a plunger are especially easy, for example the tractor, fire engine or car: children cut out the shape and push the cookie out with the stamp.
Can I bake a whole train out of cookies?
Yes. Combine the locomotive with the railway wagon or choose one of the train sets with embossing stamp – you get a locomotive followed by as many wagons as you like.
Can I use vehicle cutters for fondant too?
Yes, the cutters also work with fondant or marzipan, for example for vehicles as cake decorations. Roll the fondant out thinly and dust it lightly with cornflour.
