A couple of years ago I told Momsu that I'd like some leaf cookie cutters. In our family we take gift hints very seriously! Sure enough, I was soon in possession of these three great leaf shapes.
Maple
Oak
I wasn't sure if I liked this shape until I made it into a cookie and I do! It just goes to show you that if you're on the fence about a cookie cutter, try it out and you may love it.
Sycamore
I love the irregular edge on this one.
I recently bought this one for myself at a local cake/cookie decorating shop.
These little ones are from a set I've had for a long time. I use them at Thanksgiving to make "crusties" out of leftover pie dough sprinkled with sugar to serve with the pie. They make great little ginger cookies!
They make a nice pattern, too. (Inspiration for surface pattern design is everywhere!)
I'm really happy with the colors, and I had fun with the piping, too.

They look great Nina - I really like the colors and the simplicity. It's all about the shapes.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Momsu! Sometimes I feel intimidated when I see the impressive creations of other cookie artists, but I know I do my best work when I follow my own style and keep it simple.
