Tips from our bakery

Snowflakes and ice crystals have fine arms that break easily. Cut them from well-chilled dough, lift them onto the tray with a palette knife and bake them a little shorter so the edges stay pale. For the 3D tree, cut the pieces in decreasing sizes and stack them with a little icing once baked – a lovely table decoration. When baking with children, compact shapes such as the small or large tree are easier than delicate ice crystals. More shapes with a plunger: our plunger cutters.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a fine ice crystal out of the cutter cleanly?

Dip the cutter in flour before each cut and tap off the excess. If the dough sticks, it is too warm: ten minutes in the fridge and it will work again. Or simply use the snowflake plunger cutter.

Which dough suits trees and snowflakes?

A shortcrust that hardly rises in the oven, such as the dough for Mailänderli, the Swiss butter biscuits. White icing or a dusting of icing sugar turns the trees snowy and makes the snowflakes sparkle. Also worth a look: our star cookie cutters and all our Christmas cookie cutters.
