Cookie Cutter 101

Dave made me another cutter.

He's claiming it'll cost me $10.00 because he's started a new business.

A cookie cutter business.

I am apparently his only customer.

I don't really see how this will be financially beneficial?

Robbing Peter to pay Paul.  Or robbing me to pay him.

We had purchased a 3 inch hand seamer...(note: I purchased it with my cookie profits)

 

He had these tin snips on hand.

 

And I drew it out to size, after looking online at about 10 different samples.

From here on out I pretty much just took pictures while Dave bended, pushed, pulled and tried not to slice off his fingers.

After all the bending was done, it was time for Dave to solder the ends together.

FIRE!

And then it cools.

And like magic...to me...I have a cookie cutter.

Guess I owe him $10.00.  I'll pay AFTER I actually use it to make cookies.  It could be faulty you know.

Thanks for Understanding...

Friends of ours recently purchased a new home and before even moving in started construction on an addition to their house.  So there were lots of trucks, construction and a dumpster that was in their front yard.

They figured that now that the construction is done they'd take cookies to their closest four neighbors saying "thanks for understanding." One dozen for each neighbor to enjoy!

Originally they asked me to make Halloween cookies but I wasn't to give them the cookies until after Halloween was over.  I made the executive decision to do "construction" cookies instead. Thankfully they are close friends of ours so I knew they'd be ok with my design change.

I went with...

A shovel.

A hammer.

A saw.

And a dumpster.

It was red to match the real life sized one that sat outside in their front yard.

I think they look pretty nifty.

Who doesn't want to eat a dumpster cookie?
