Cat and Mouse Copper Cookie Cutter Set!

Earlier this year, my friend David and I began exchanging ideas about how we might expand our prized collections of Martha by Mail cookie cutters to add new designs, even though the line was discontinued when the Martha by Mail catalog business ceased to exist. 

I cannot tell you the hours we spent saying, I wish they had offered a _________ or added a _________ to the _________ set, or what about a _________? That would make such a great cookie! 

Anyone who has ever created cookies using the Martha by Mail cutters like we have, knows the fabrication was second to none. And, I believe anyone who has ever used them would also agree the line ended way before its time and is still sorely missed, even after all these years. Therefore, armed with our own design ideas, David and I took our vision for new cutters to none other than Michael Bonne, the American coppersmith responsible for producing all those iconic Martha by Mail cutters David and I and, so many of you want to see available again!

So without further ado, I give you Cat and Mouse! The first set of copper cookies cutters I designed to share with you through Oui, Sugar! An on-line marketplace where I will bring you sweet things I believe will deliver the same joy they bring me!

Below you can see my design ideas coming to life in Michael's

workshop! Of course, I'm sure you suspect my cat design was

inspired by our sweet Bing and, you're right. Michael liked it

so much he created smaller versions and named them, Bing!

True to the classics, my new Michael Bonne cutters perform

flawlessly and double as works of art, suitable for display!

Since I believe decorated sugar cookies make perfect party favors, it was

important to me to create cookie cutters that are a bit bigger than standard

size cutters, but not so large they are difficult to package. I think I nailed it...

What do you think? Of course, it helps to have an amazing recipe and

it doesn't get more amazing than David's Heirloom Sugar Cookie

recipe. Try it... and be prepared to forget you ever used any other!

I feel the same way about David's chocolate cookie recipe. I especially

like to mix the two doughs together to create marbled cookies, like I did here!

Of course, after a great cookie recipe comes a great royal icing recipe
for decorating, which I just happen to have developed for you here!

See? I told you these cookies would turn out to be the perfect size!

The perfect canvas for letting your imagination run wild...

And, perfect for sharing with people you love!

Now that the Cat's out of the bag, as they say... I'm excited to say Oui, Sugar! is finally happening! Soon you'll be able to own a set of these wonderful cookie cutters to create edible works of art of your own, plus everything you need to decorate them too! In the meantime, I hope you'll pop over to the Oui, Sugar! Facebook Page I've created to receive the latest updates and, be the first to know about special offers!

Before I let you go I just want to say... There is no one I would rather travel on this journey with than David so if you haven't already, please check out his announcement here and see the charming set of cutters he's also designed especially for you. I know you're going to Bee delighted!
