Snow Man

Three stacked snowballs, stubby stick arms and a hat perched on top: the shape every child draws the moment frost lands on the garden. This cutter presses that outline into rolled dough so the biscuit comes out of the oven recognisable rather than a vague blob with ambitions. It belongs to the December baking box alongside the trees and the stars, but it earns its keep well beyond Christmas. Snow days, winter birthdays, school fairs, and any wet afternoon where the weather has kept everyone indoors and the kitchen table needs a job to do. Decorating is where the shape comes alive, with icing piped for a scarf, buttons and a nose added by hand, and a different face on every biscuit. One file, one dependable silhouette, and simple enough that children can press the shapes out themselves.
