Snowflake Cookie Cutter Set

It's true they need more care than basic cutters, but then that was to be expected given the delicate points on some of the snowflakes. I rolled my dough out on non-stick baking paper (on the baking tray) and used a small paintbrush to ease out the finer points and then peeled away the excess dough. I used the picture on the website for guidance and iced them accordingly. They looked FABULOUS and I have never ever made cookies that impressed everyone quite as much. It would be nice to put a picture of the finished biscuits in the tin. Persevere with these, you will be rewarded!!!

I was looking forward to using these but they fell short of my expectations on a number of points. The storage tin could do with being just a bit bigger. The cutters only just fit in, with quite a bit of fiddling about, and are not that easy to get out again. The larger cutters are really so huge that they are not that practical for cookies. They are also so intricate that it is easy for bits to get damaged when you are trying to move the cookies to the baking tray. Maybe I'll try them for cutting out different coloured icing for the tops of cakes but I won't be using them for cookies.

Apart from the fact that the tin was missing the smallest cutter, this doesn't quite live up to expectations. The larger two cutters are HUGE, and having looked elsewhere on the web, would have benefitted from the inclusion of the two small detail cutters that this set usually comes with. The big shapes need a wide fishslice to manouvre them safely to a baking tray and even then it's tricky to keep them intact.

Just used the cutter set and they are all very fiddly but I could not get the middle cutter shape out due to too fine points on it. The other 2 large cutters needed 2 pairs of hands to keep shape from dough to tray as if not the points break off.

I bought these in preparation for Christmas celebrations. I am sorry to say they were very disappointing. The large one were far too big, with sharp points that either broke or would not release from the cutter. It would have been better if there had been more medium sizes cutters. I will only be using the smaller one's the others will be at the back of my cupboard.
