SUPPORT YOUR CANDIDATE WITH COOKIES!!
These two cookie stamps are made of lead-freee cast metal with folded copper handles, and both are just under 3" high. They are now available,  priced at $100 each or $190 for the pair.  Shipping & handling by Priority Mail is $6 for one or two. Unlike most FrankenCutters products, we have a small quantity of these in stock.  Email your order and we'll reply by email and ship them next business day.

To use them, just mix up a batch of cookie dough using a recipe with little or no leavening (important).  Make a ball of dough and press the cookie stamp into the dough, then bake. The cookies will then have an impression of the face's outline with the lines all visible.

Custom made: You can simply say "1978 Volkswagon Beetle, make it 5 inches wide", or you can send us photo of yours. Send it by email, fax, or regular mail. (If the design is copyrighted, I need permission in writing from the owner.
Small volume: As few as one, as many as a few hundred. For larger quantities I can make up a bending jig and save time (and some of your money). I'd probably need a longer lead-time for large quantities.
Copper: Well, okay, for some items, we use stainless steel, aluminum, or brass. Candlemakers, for instance, prefer stainless steel. For Cakepans, I use sheet aluminum. To make very tiny cutters (down to 1/2" across), I normally use very thin brass.Most other items are of copper. And we also make metal cookie presses to make imprints in the dough before baking.

We support:

• Cookie makers - In the past we stocked many "stock" cutter designs, but now we specialize in custom designs.
• Cookie Cutter Collectors - We have been members of the Cookie Cutter Collector's Club since the early 1980's, participate in meetings and the biannual conventions. We've also created, host, and maintain the official CCCC Website.
• Professional Bakers - For heavy-duty cutters, I normally add a back, and a large wooden handle. To save you time, the cutter could have multiple cutters on one back. On many designs, a "pusher-plate" can be added, to eject the dough.
• Cake Decorators - We have some unique "stock" items, such as flexible-curve cutters. We also supply custom-designed shapes for cutting "fondant" (used by cake decorators). We have some "stock" Gingerbread House kits, but we're happy to make your design. And we now have special rolling pins, and oversized stainless steel spatulas.
• Wedding Planners - Why not give everyone at the Reception a unique gift of a cookie cutter, in a design special to you?
• People Planning a Theme Party - Here are a few designs a customer requested for a "60's party".
• Special Gift Ideas - Here's a great gift for Mom or Grandma: Trace your child's hand or foot, and I'll make cookie cutters to that exact shape, and hand-engrave details on the end, such as "John Wesley - Age 3"

• Custom Cakes - Aluminum cake pans, custom-made to shapes you can't buy anywhere else. Send us your design or we'll make the design for you. Welded to a baseplate, with a depth of 3 inches, they work very well! We just made a '78 Trans-Am for someone. How about your classic car?
• Porcelain Artwork - Very finely detailed cutters to exactly fit the customer's drawings.
• Ceramic Buttons - Very small mini-cutters (from 1/2" to 3/4" across), some with pusher plates to extract the clay.

• WHITEHOUSE HOLIDAY CHRISTMAS TREE
  For Christmas 2001, the big Whitehouse Christmas tree came from Michigan (in the U.P.).  It was decorated with ornaments from the state of Michigan, contributed by schools, artists, anyone who wished to submit an ornament.  The theme of the tree was "Hope Takes Flight". FrankenCutters submitted a Cookie Cutter ornament, of course.  A large Angel, 7 1/4" x 9 3/4" high, with a back.  The official website put up a picture of the FrankenCutter ornament, but that page is not there anymore.

WHAT'S NEW WITH FRANK & LORI:
The main new thing is that we've moved to 2.7 acres just north of town. The workshop is now in a 28'x 40' attached garage, and we have a garden shed and a very small barn. There's so much to do these days, fixing up the outbuildings and planting a whole lot of stuff. Lots of wildlife.
We've got a gateway page called "WebNew", which has links to various pages of personal photos. Check out our recently revised "Webnew page".

NUTS & BOLTS SECTION:

I'm really into tools. Woodworking, metalworking, new, old, antique, or especially homemade, I like them all. Click Here to learn a bit about how I make the cookie cutters and see some of my favorite cookie cutter tools , includes a page of photos of the shop itself, taken July 2004. Once I've got the new shop more finished, I'll post some photos of it.
