Cookie stamp with cutter - Gingerbread bells

Can you hear them ringing? This stamp gives you two Christmas bells with a big bow, holly leaves and little hearts on the bells. You get the stamp and a cutter of about 8 cm in exactly the same shape. With a red bow it is one of the most festive cookies in the collection.

What does the Gingerbread bells stamp look like?

Two bells hanging at an angle against each other, with a big bow on top and holly leaves with berries. The bells are decorated with small hearts and dots, like icing decorations. The design is wide and round, so there is plenty of room for colour.

The bells look lovely next to Gingerbread star and Gingerbread man in a festive gingerbread set.

What is in the Gingerbread bells set?

You get the stamp with two Christmas bells 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 a gingerbread Christmas?

Gingerbread belongs to Christmas: the scent of cinnamon and a box full of little men, stars and houses. With the gingerbread collection by Le Monde de Mely you make cookies that look exactly like that, with the icing lines already in relief. Stamp them in light brown fondant, finish the details in white and red, and they look straight from Santa's bakery. In my Christmas packaging you will find matching boxes and ribbon.

How do you gift these cookies beautifully?

Give a single cookie in the kraft cookie box or the white cookie box with shop window: the window shows off your gingerbread straight away. Put a few cookies together in the red letterbox cookie box with a clear lid. Finish it with gingerbread house ribbon and a kraft Christmas tag with a name or wish. You will find more options in my cookie boxes and in the cookie bags and cookie cards.

How do you use the Gingerbread bells 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: First inlay the bow in red and the holly in green. Then stamp the bells in light brown and add a dot of white paint to each heart. 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

Can I add a name?

There is no empty area for text. If you want to add a name, use a kraft Christmas tag on the ribbon of your box.

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.
