Set Cookie Cutter Monsters Inc

Children's birthday baking gets considerably easier when the biscuits already look like the film. This set takes its shapes from the animated world where monsters clock in for a shift at a scare factory, so the outlines are big, round and instantly readable, the sort of silhouettes a five-year-old names before the icing goes anywhere near them. Cutters work hardest when the shape is bold rather than fussy, and cartoon monsters are ideal for exactly that reason: broad bodies, simple horns and ears, faces that carry across a table. Rolled biscuit dough, gingerbread and fondant are the usual company for shapes like these, and cartoon monsters leave plenty of open area in the middle for icing, sprinkles and a wonky drawn-on eye. Supplied as a multi-part set covering several of the characters, it is for home bakers doing themed parties and for anyone who has been asked, again, for monster biscuits.
