December Dates
Cutting - Edge Fun Nothing announces the arrival of the holiday season like the smell of freshly baked cookies. If you ’ re looking to spruce up your baking this year, ditch the common round shape for some fun cookie cutters during Cookie Cutter Week, held the first week of December. While evidence shows that ancient Egyptians created inter- esting molds for baking cakes, Queen Elizabeth I of England is said to have popularized the novelty of baking cookies in the shape of her guests. Gingerbread men and women soon became popular in bakeries across 17th - century England.
Today, you can find cookie cutters in every conceivable shape and size. Some manu- facturers will even create custom cookie cutters. Some people enjoy collecting cookie cutters, and serious enthusiasts belong to the Cookie Cutters Collectors ’ Club (CCCC). In fact, it was the CCCC that originally conceived Cookie Cutter Week about 30 years ago. Members enjoy benefits such as a quarterly newsletter and an exclu- sive cutter designed to commemorate Cookie Cutter Week.
