Audrey W. (11/20/2016) writes "Our favorites are the 12 days of Christmas and St. Nicholas molds. It has become a FAMILY TRADITION... My daughters LOVE molding the cookies and people can't believe that children were able to make such amazing cookies. Thanks for the beautiful work you do. It has truly enhanced our family life.
And thank you for passing your art on to an apprentice."

Much of the (negative, intaglio) carved detail of our molds can only be appreciated when the mold is used to create the positive relief cookies. Gene and Allen often use clay to be certain the designs being carved as as functional as they are decorative.
Carving faces is challenging but enjoyable as each face (and each carving) is unique!

Visitors of our website have commented that they often see a negative (mold) image when looking at a positive (cookie) image... and vice versa. The eyes and brain are easily confused by such images and shadows as Gene learned on his first flight over the family farm in 1949. His eyes saw a "bomb crater" but his brain realized it was only a large haystack!
These carvers will take the credit for the carved molds... However,
YOU WILL GET ALL THE CREDIT for the fancy picture cookies and
gingerbread figures you shape with their hand-carved molds!

Note the difference in the two angel molds. This can be seen better in the enlarged clay casting photos of
the faces shown here! Hand carved cookie MOLDS are not "cookie cutter" identical as are resin molds.
