Switzerland

Our Swiss cookie cutters let you bake biscuits with a taste of home: the Swiss cross, a cow, edelweiss, mountains and the Bernese bear. They are popular for 1 August, as a small gift for visitors from abroad or as a greeting to friends far away. Order by 4 pm and your parcel leaves the same day by A-Post.

Which Swiss cookie cutters do we stock?

• Switzerland with Swiss cross: the outline of Switzerland with the cross in the middle, the biscuit for the national holiday.
• Cow: as a classic cookie cutter and as a plunger cutter that pushes the dough cleanly out of the shape.
• Alps: the edelweiss and the mountains.
• Bernese bear: the heraldic animal of the federal city.

Tips for Swiss biscuits

• Red and white: flood Switzerland with red royal icing and pipe the cross in white once the base has set a little.
• Edelweiss with texture: dab on the petals with white royal icing and a fine nozzle; a yellow dot in the middle completes the flower.
• A spotted cow: flood the cow in white and drop the black spots into the wet icing so that they settle flat.

For the national holiday, take a look at our recipes for the 1 August cookie, the 1 August cake and the Swiss Carac with red fondant and a white cross.
