• Figures: gingerbread men from mini to 21 cm, St Nicholas face, angels, elves, reindeer, sleigh, snowman, nutcracker and rocking horse.
• For craft projects: cutter sets for a gingerbread house and a biscuit house, plus the 10-piece Wilton 3D Christmas tree set for stacking.

Tips from our bakery

For Mailänderli, roll the dough to 5–8 mm and chill it well before cutting, so the points of the stars stay sharp. Cinnamon star mixture is sticky: dip the cutter in cold water or sugar every now and then. Plunger cutters pay off for snowflakes, elves or St Nicholas, as the plunger pushes the dough out cleanly. And plan ahead: gingerbread often tastes even better after a few days in the tin, and Brunsli are easy to bake ahead too.

More shapes for the two favourites are waiting under cinnamon star cutters and Linzer cookie cutters. Tried-and-tested recipes: our Mailänderli and the build-your-own gingerbread house. Rather bake in company? Our Christmas cookies course in Adliswil guides you step by step.

Frequently asked questions

What size is best for Christmas biscuits?

For Mailänderli and cinnamon stars, 4 to 6 cm works well: the biscuits bake evenly and fit nicely in a tin. Large stars from 10 cm are lovely as gifts or tree decorations.

When should I order before Christmas?

Order by 4 pm and your parcel goes out the same day by A-Post, usually arriving the next working day. Shipping is free from CHF 100*. In December, it is still wise to allow a few days' leeway.
