Locomotive cookie cutter with ejector and embossing

This locomotive cutter will delight young and old train fans alike. The internal embossing draws wheels, boiler, driver's cab and chimney directly into the dough, and the practical ejector removes the motif cleanly from the mold. The mould is suitable for classic butter biscuits, Milanese biscuits, gingerbread biscuits and pointed biscuits as well as for fondant, marzipan and flower paste. The locomotive cutter is particularly popular for children's birthday parties with a railroad theme, model railroad fan events, retirement parties for train drivers and as a topping for cupcakes, cake pops and muffins. The cutter can also be used for children's buffets and aperitifs. Cheese slices, sausage leaves or puff pastry flakes can be turned into steaming locomotive snacks that add an original touch to children's birthday buffets and train-themed aperitifs. For a clean result, dust the work surface, hands and mould with baker's starch. Baker's starch is finer than flour, slips better and leaves no white marks on the biscuits. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 0.5 cm, cut out the locomotives, press the stamping button once or twice and lift the dough onto the tray by pressing again. Place in the preheated oven until the biscuits are golden brown. Refer to your recipe for the exact temperature and time. Three points make the difference between hot and washed-out embossing. Firstly: cold, non-sticky dough, in the fridge for ten minutes if necessary. Second: correct dough thickness, too thin will break, too thick will blur the details. Thirdly, always use cold butter when kneading dough. Once cooled, decorate the locomotives with royal icing in bright colors such as red, black, blue or green. The embossing serves as a perfect guide for the lines with the cornet. White sugar clouds as steam from the chimney make the motif particularly lively. The cutter is made of plastic and is quickly ready for use in the dishwasher. An inspiring helper for train fans in the bakery.
