Cookie stamp with cutter - Christmas bauble

A bauble like the ones on grandma's tree: this stamp gives you an elongated bauble with ribs, a cap and a big bow on top. You get the stamp and a cutter of about 8 cm in exactly the same shape. A touch of gold on the cap finishes it off.

What does the Christmas bauble stamp look like?

An elongated bauble with vertical ribs, a cap at the top and a big bow with long ribbons above it. The shape is reminiscent of vintage glass baubles. Thanks to the ribs the fondant catches the light beautifully, even in a single colour.

Together with Christmas wreath, Christmas tree and Christmas sleigh you have the complete elegant Christmas set.

What is in the Christmas bauble set?

You get the stamp with an elongated bauble with a big bow in relief and a cutter in exactly the same shape. Use the cutter for your cookie dough first and for your fondant after baking, so the fondant always fits your cookie perfectly. Cookies, fondant and the other shapes in the photos are not included.

How do you create an elegant Christmas table?

This Christmas collection by Le Monde de Mely is classic and understated: wreaths, baubles, a Christmas tree and a sleigh, with big bows. The photos show them in ivory and dark green, and those calm colours are what make them so elegant. They suit a Christmas dinner, a hamper or a thank you for your customers. In my Christmas packaging you will find matching boxes and ribbon.

How do you gift these cookies beautifully?

Give a single cookie in the white cookie box with shop window: the window shows off your fondant straight away. For a set, choose the white letterbox cookie box with a clear lid, which even fits through the letterbox. A bow of green and gold satin ribbon matches the ivory and dark green perfectly. You will find more options in my cookie boxes and in the cookie bags and cookie cards.

How do you use the Christmas bauble stamp?

The video next to the photos shows you how it works. In short:

1. Cut out your cookies with the cutter, bake them and let them cool completely.
2. Roll out your fondant to about 3 mm.
3. Press the stamp firmly and evenly into the fondant and lift it off carefully.
4. Cut out the shape with the cutter and stick it onto your cookie with a little water or edible glue.

Tip for this design: Stamp in ivory and give only the cap a layer of edible gold paint once dry. A touch of pearl shimmer on the ribs makes it look like glass. To inlay several colours, press thin pieces of coloured fondant into the sections of the stamp, trim off the excess and place your base colour on top.

Why Le Monde de Mely?

Le Monde de Mely is a French brand that is hugely popular with cookie bakers: they design all their stamps themselves and print them in their own workshop. At Cupcakedozen.nl you order them together with your cookie boxes, bags and ribbon, all in one order. You will find more designs in my cookie stamps.

Material, food contact and disposal

According to the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, the stamp and cutter comply with Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 and Regulation (EU) 10/2011 for brief contact with food at room temperature. Wash them by hand in warm water and let them dry well; a soft brush gets even the smallest corners clean. PLA can warp in the dishwasher. When the set is worn out after a long time, it goes in general waste (advice for the Netherlands).

Frequently asked questions

Is this a round bauble?

No, this bauble is elongated, slightly drop-shaped, with ribs. That makes it taller than it is wide.

Can I press the stamp into cookie dough?

It may briefly touch cookie dough, but fine details often fade during baking. For a crisp result I recommend fondant of about 3 mm.

How big will my cookie be?

The shape is about 8 cm. After baking, your cookie often turns out slightly larger than the cutter, leaving a pretty edge of cookie visible around the fondant.
