Mini fish cookie cutter

Mini fish cookie cutter

Add tiny maritime accents to your baked goods with the mini fish-shaped cookie cutter. The 1.5 cm stainless steel fish is the ideal companion for delicate decorations and small highlights on biscuits, cakes and aperitif cookies. The shape is perfect for Spitzbuben biscuits, where the small fish appears as a decorative cut-out. It also looks playful and original as a topper on cupcakes, muffins or large cookies. Fondant, marzipan and flower paste can be cut out just as easily as classic butter biscuit or Mailänderli dough. The mini cutter is a charming detail for maritime occasions and children's parties. Small fish are created from slices of cheese, carrots or cucumber to bring a smile to aperitif platters, salad plates and snack boxes. Thin puff pastry sheets can also be cut out in the shape of fish. It is best to dust the work surface and mould with baker's starch instead of flour. Baker's starch is much finer, reliably prevents sticking and remains invisible after baking. Roll out the dough thinly, about 0.5 cm thick, so that the shape is clearly visible. Cut out the fish quickly and bake them in a preheated oven until golden brown, temperature and baking time according to the recipe. A few points will help to ensure success. If the dough is too warm and sticks to the tin, a short cooling break will help. If the dough is too thin, the small motif will break when you turn it over. Always use cold butter for kneading dough, as it gives the dough the necessary stability. After cooling, decorate the fish with royal icing in shades of blue or green, with icing or with tempered chocolate. A small sugar pearl accent for the eye makes the fish particularly lively. The stainless steel mini cutter is dishwasher-safe and retains its shape for a long time. A little helper with a big effect.
