Set Cookie Cutter Guns

Novelty baking with a bit of an edge to it: cutters that stamp firearm silhouettes out of rolled dough. Five files make up the set. Outline cutters live or die on the profile, and gun shapes suit the format unusually well. They are long, graphic and immediately readable, so the shape survives the slight puffing that happens in the oven and still looks like what it is meant to be once the tray comes out. That makes them a staple of stag parties, army-themed birthdays, action-film nights and leaving-dos where the catering is expected to make a joke. Beyond biscuit dough they do the usual second jobs: fondant, sugarpaste, salt dough, modelling clay and playdough all take the same shapes, which quietly makes the set as useful for craft afternoons and kids' play as it is for baking.
