Cookie stamp with cutter - School name plaque

Simply add the teacher's name: this stamp gives you a rectangular plaque with an apple and pencils on top. You get the stamp and a cutter of about 8 cm in exactly the same shape. The plaque stays empty for a name or a short thank you.

What does the School name plaque stamp look like?

A rectangular plaque with a red apple and a few pencils above the edge. The area in the middle is empty, for a name or a short text such as thank you. That makes every cookie personal.

The name plaque is the centrepiece of a school set. Arrange Three markers, ABC 123 or Books with pencil and apple around it.

What is in the School name plaque set?

You get the stamp with a rectangular name plaque with an apple and pencils on top 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 turn them into a treat for the teacher?

At the end of the school year or on the first day of school, homemade cookies are a gift that always goes down well. The school collection by Le Monde de Mely has bright, cheerful colours that catch the eye straight away. In my teacher gift packaging you will find boxes and bags to give them in.

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 the whole class, or a gift from all the parents together, place a few cookies in the yellow sweet box with a clear lid or in the white letterbox cookie box. You will find more options in my cookie boxes and in the cookie bags and cookie cards.

How do you use the School name plaque 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 the plaque in a soft colour such as orange or pale yellow, and only write the name once the fondant has dried for a few hours. An edible marker in black or dark blue reads best. 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

How long can the name be?

The area is about as wide as the cookie. A name or a short word fits well; a long sentence becomes very small.

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.
