WTB: MINI cookie cutters
Yup- we're crafty
OK, so we made our own MINI cookie cutters.
It was a lot of work, but worth it!
I made a whole huge batch for my work party.
And yes, Jesse made a Mustang cookie cutter.
All we used was a roll of thin metal and some pliers.
100 cookies later, the cutters are holding up great!
I'll probably be making more for the family party.

Sissy, I am so with you girl!! I can bake like a champ, but the decorating is a whole other game all together.
Those of you who have decorated those car cookies into MINIs are simply amazing in my book!!
I would also love to have a cutter, just let me know where to send the $$. I'll at least give it a shot.

The hard part will be the decoration.
Her gift has been sitting in the kitchen in the open for over a week and she has not even seen it... does that tell you how many times she goes in the kitchen
There's a company in my 'burb that sells cookie cutters (www.cookiecutter.com). I gave them a call to see if they could lend any direction. The owner said he didn't know of anyone that would do a custom run of less than 1,000 for a price less than $10-$15 each. He suggested www.kitchengifts.com for a custom copper cutter. I looked into those but it's pricey!! I'm thinking their "Make Your Own Cookie Cutter" kit might have to do.
Quick update: I'm looking to see if I can get a few sets of these made & SG has kindly offered an assist with packaging & perhaps sales. FYI, I'm not interested in making any money on this, just satisfy the Suzy Homemakers amongst us & recoup any costs. I also don't feel any kind of exclusive on setting this up, so if somebody can find a source to have these made before I do, feel free to share.

Sorry!! It's been a while since my last post. I've been busy with school ending and the holiday season starting and.... The Southern Ontario MINI Club (SOMC) had a Christmas party so I put my baking skills and lack of cookie cutters to work and ended up with...:

SOMC stands for the Southern Ontario MINI Club! (higher res pic in my gallery)
I still want in for the cookie cutters. I bid and won an auction from Austria on the set of cookie cutters on eBay, however I have sent payment and they haven't responded to any of my messages :S So I'm quite sad about that. I was supposed to get those ones in time for the Christmas party but since I didn't have them, I cut out these cookies with a knife. Using a stencil I made and printed out. The cookie process took about 4.5 hours and the icing part was deadly haha. I love how they turned out though!! I can't wait for real cookie cutters..... To make baking lil MINIs even more fun

VERY VERY nice, Kurt!!
The decorating process is simply brutal. At 5am when I was doing mine, my feet were starting to hurt from standing in the kitchen for so long... I started snacking on the undecorated MINIs to make it so I had less to decorate!!
Yours turned out fantastically!
