Cutters

[Verona]

Hi there

 

I noticed in one of the photos in the Recipe article (painted biscuits) that you were using a clear plastic hand shaped cutter. I haven't seen one of those before - where can I buy one?

Hi Hali

 

Thanks - perhaps whoever put the photo in will reply - here's hoping.

 

Yes it's very quiet. Pre-school broke up on 16 July - one week gone already! Got lots of work to do ready for September though. OFSTED are supposed to be coming in September. They said June/July but didn't arrive. I had a phone call to say 'sorry, but owing to circumstances beyond their control they couldn't come but they will come in September'

 

By the way, I love the SMILE posting.

We had our letter last Nov to say they would come in Feb...Feb came and went ..so did March and half term.. then 2 days before we broke up for Easter they arrived...love to keep you waiting they do...............

 

Anyhow enjoy ur summer i'm sure it will be fine....

Um - that would be me wot put the photo up Sue.

 

And you get the metal cutters (not clear plastic) from a drawer in my kitchen.

 

Um

 

Probably not being that helpful am I?

 

I'll have to ask Helen if she remembers!

Hi,

A friend brought them back from France, I'm afraid! I've seen some fun ones in Steamer Trading Cookshop, but not hands and feet...sorry!

[Verona]

Thanks Steve!!!! Not helpful

 

Well, Helen - I've just got back from two weeks hols in France!

I will have to tell my husband that we should have a day trip to France before September just for the cutters!!! Thanks anyway

 

I will try Steamer Trading Cookshop for other fun cutters - I love that type of shop. Is there one East/West Sussex?

Hi, Ive just been into our local hardwear store. They had a whole book to order from which included jungle, farm,butterflies, gingerbread family, hands, flowers and loads more. They cost around £4 - £6 for the set of approx. 4 cutters. The manufacturers have a web site www.kitchencraft.co.uk and they are based in Birmingham.

PS. IT'S NOT A BRILLIANT SITE FOR JUST HAVING A LOOK. You might do better to go to a shop.

I went onto the website and ordered a catalogue.

We must be the only people in the world who get obsessed by different shaped cutters! A whole catalogue of them - so there is a Father Christmas then?!?

There is a pack of "101 cookie cutters" for sale from Lakeland Ltd for £9.95. This includes letters, numbers and various other shapes. There is a website that you can order from.

I always wondered what Lakeland was for. Dont cook much (well...ever)at home! Will pay a vistit, thanks.

I love Lakeland, they have such nifty gadgets! In fact I was in their shop in Stockport yesterday. They have lovely craft things too, for adults mainly as the stuff is quite expensive. I saw the cutters but wasn't sure how big they were. I am going to go back next week and ask if they will open a box for me to have a look.
