Creating holiday memories that last a lifetime... 

{HISTORY}

From the kitchen of a prolific Southern baker and folk artist, this collection of vintage cookie cutters was curated over a thirty-year period of baking bliss by a woman named Alice. As a home cook, a professional freelance cake decorator and an artist,  Alice had a sincere passion for food as canvas. It started with cookies of all sizes and shapes. Christmastime was a sure bet but other holidays throughout the year saw Alice just as enthusiastically baking away too. Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Fourth of July, retirement parties, poker night, summer vacations, baby showers. There was no holiday or occasion where a special homemade cookie wouldn't fit in with the festivities.

Like Julia Child did with her pots and pans, Alice displayed her cookie cutters on the wall of her Texas country kitchen - pinned in place for easy grab-and-go accessibility. It was both a wall of inspiration and a functional way to keep track of her whimsical collection. That's why you'll notice holes in some of the tins (mostly the midcentury aluminum). The holes come in handy if you like to tie ribbons around your baked goods for pretty display or if you like to make cookies to hang like ornaments from holiday trees or string them like gift tags for packaging. 

Because Alice's collection is on the larger side with over 65 cookie cutters in total, we've corraled them into themes. Since no one wants to buy a batch of pre-boxed vintage cookie cutters just to use one or two, all the cutters in her collection are sold separately.  That way you'll love each and every one of them just as much as Alice did. Select your favorites from the drop-down menu and they'll automatically be added to your cart. 

On days when Alice's cookie cutters were at rest, she could still be found in the kitchen playing around with frosting and fondants for her cake decorating business. Funny enough, her big bestseller was not the light and airy layered wedding cakes piped with flowers and bunting, but a confectionary that was a little bit more risque - anatomically correct bachelor and bachelorette party cakes. Alice was full of surprises that way. Her sense of humor and her free-spirit attitude came out in all her creative endeavors, which eventually led to paint on canvas, something she still pursues with vigor today.

This listing of 8 cookie cutters revolves around the magical spirits of Christmas.... Santa, the gingerbreads, angels and a trio of snowmen bring the holiday to life with a bit of vintage charm.
