Ausstecher-Set Halloween Geisterhaus, 7 Motive

Halloween is the season of ghosts, witches and pumpkins – and this Cookie cutter set brings all the classic Halloween symbols straight to the baking table. This set of 7 metal Cookie cutters provides everything you need for hauntingly beautiful Halloween creations: spider, pumpkin, gravestone, spider's web, bat, coffin and cauldron – seven motifs that turn cookies, cakes and cupcakes into true Halloween highlights. All Cookie cutters measure approx. 6–7 cm and are made from sturdy metal – shape-retaining, durable and designed for sharp, clean cuts that reproduce even fine details with precision. A simple tip for perfect results: dip the Cookie cutters briefly in flour before each use – this prevents the dough from sticking to the metal edge and allows every motif to be released cleanly. For Fondant and marzipan, a brief dip in starch or icing sugar is recommended instead.

Roll out the shortcrust pastry, cut out the motifs, bake – and then the truly exciting part begins. Once cooled, the cookies can be decorated in many different ways. Smooth icing in orange, black or white delivers the classic Halloween look quickly and effortlessly. For more precise details, work with Royal icing – a sugar icing made from icing sugar and egg white that can be coloured in any Halloween shade and applied with a Piping bag in fine, controlled amounts. Spider's webs on the gravestone, a grinning face on the pumpkin or the sweeping lines of the cauldron – with Royal icing even the smallest details can be executed with precision. Those who prefer chocolate as a base can dip the cookies in tempered couverture – dark for an elegant look, white for a ghostly effect. Candy eyes, black pearls or orange Sprinkles complete the decoration.

For those who want to go even further, Fondant or flower paste can be used for eerie cake decorations or as garnish for cupcakes or cake pops. Always roll out Fondant and flower paste on a surface dusted with starch or icing sugar to prevent sticking and to ensure the Cookie cutters cut cleanly through the material. Allow the finished figures to dry completely at room temperature and store them in a dry place, protected from moisture – ideally in a flat box or a container. Moisture causes Fondant, marzipan and flower paste to soften and lose their shape, so always place them on the cake or cupcakes shortly before serving – this keeps the contours and details fresh and crisp.

The Cookie cutters are dishwasher-safe – dry them thoroughly after cleaning, as moisture trapped in the metal edges can cause rust marks over time. Store in a dry place.

A gravestone on the cake, a spider on the cupcake, a cauldron as a cookie on the festive table – homemade Halloween creations have a charm that no store-bought decoration can match. When the pumpkins glow, the bats fly and the coffin made of Fondant sits atop the cake, this is not simply baking – it is Halloween as it should be: spooky, personal and made with heart. This set gives you the tools to do just that – seven iconic motifs, sturdy metal for precise cuts and a result that transforms any Halloween table into a true house of horrors. Because homemade cookies, cakes and decorations tell stories that remain in the memory long after Halloween night. Frighteningly good. Happy Halloween!
