Ausstecher Weihnachtsmann mit Prägung, 7.5 cm

The run-up to Christmas means baking time. The scent of freshly baked cookies drifts through the home, flour-dusted dough covers the table and the kitchen is alive with the most wonderful kind of activity. The Santa Claus Cookie cutter with embossing is the ideal helper for all of this – with the 7.5 cm Cookie cutter and the matching embossing Stamp, detailed Santa Claus cookies and festive decorations that enrich any Christmas table can be created in no time at all. Because Christmas is not only celebrated, but also baked. The practical Cookie cutter consists of two parts – the Cookie cutter and the embossing Stamp. The Cookie cutter cuts cleanly and evenly through dough or Fondant, while the embossing Stamp then transfers all the characteristic Santa Claus details precisely and effortlessly. The hat, beard and face are reproduced clearly and neatly with a single press. What makes the embossing so valuable: the recessed contours left by the Stamp serve, after baking or drying, as natural guide lines for painting – the Royal icing, Cake icing or sugar glaze flows into the recesses and highlights every detail to great effect. This allows colourful, true-to-detail Santa Claus cookies and decorations to be created without any great prior knowledge.

Here is how it is done: roll out the cookie dough to approximately 4–5 mm, cut out and emboss – after baking, fill in the recessed contours with tinted Royal icing, Cake icing or sugar glaze. The embossing shows exactly where each colour belongs – red for the hat, white for the beard, skin tone for the face. Roll out Fondant and marzipan to approximately 3–4 mm, cut out and emboss – place the finished figures directly as toppers on cakes or cupcakes and paint them with Food coloring or Royal icing along the embossing lines. Roll out flower paste thinly and work with it quickly – as it dries fast, place the figures immediately on the desired surface or leave them to dry flat. Once dry, paint with Royal icing or Food coloring – the recessed contours make painting easy and precise here too. The dried figures serve as dimensionally stable, colourful decorations for cakes, cupcakes and festive baked goods.

After use, wash by hand with warm water and a mild washing-up liquid – not dishwasher-safe. Store in a dry place away from light.

When the Advent season begins, the bakery gets into full swing and Santa Claus is still waiting for his grand appearance – this is exactly when this Cookie cutter comes into its own. Cut out, emboss, bake and paint cookies, create Fondant figures for the festive cake, paint flower paste decorations – and the result is a Christmas table that delights, warms the heart and perfectly captures the anticipation of the season. Because Christmas tastes best when home-baked. Merry Christmas!
