This post is long over due. For my son’s 6th birthday we hosted a bowling party for him and his friends. I ran into a little dilemma…I waited until 3 days before his event to make the cookies. I knew I was in need of a bowling pin cookie cutter and figured, I’d have no issue finding one at the local cake shop. WOW, was I wrong. We have about 5 “local” shops and no one carried a silly little bowling pin. And because I had to make about 5 dozen cookies, a cardboard temple was out of the question. So I was convinced to to purchase this, Make your own cookie cutter kit. I was a bit skeptical but the other choice was hand cutting 120 cookies.
So I gathered my supplies and read the directions over and over!
*I printed a bowling pin from the computer.
First step, seems simple enough. You use a piece of tread to trace image. This is your guide for cutting the metal. The metal can be cut with standard scissors.
Next using the tools on the left side of picture you shape the image. This did take some time but I wanted it perfect.
After you have the image shaped, I used clamps to make the sticky tape adhere with a tight grip. At this point you can allow it to sit for a few days or place in oven, I let it sit for a few hours then removed the clamp and placed in oven.
Once the cutter has cooled can start to cut the cookies.
I was very pleased with the results, and the simplicity of the project. I am curious to try again, the kit comes with plenty of extra metal and adhesive tape.
This product is HAPPY CAKE LADY APPROVED!
