10/8/2010: "The Windmill and Sinterklaus cookie molds arrived, and I must say they were better than the pictures, most impressive. I used the recipe for Speculaas, and following the instructions I got quite good at tapping out the molded cookies. They were a great hit." - P. Vandyke, VA

13 Oct '10: "I am getting ready for my 4th year of making Speculaas. The boards I purchased from you are great, and the tricks you provided in the booklet are a lifesaver - following instructions has allowed me to produce perfectly molded cookies right from the start! Your molds are so much better than anything I see in the shops." Cassandra

Speculaas cookies are shaped in a wooden mold
[1] fill mold cavity with dough, [2] finger-pat around edges and [3] tap to release edible-art cookie dough castings that are ready for baking.

The Belgian pastry "speculoos" belongs to a large family of honey cakes . The dough takes on the shapes of the molds. On Dec 6th children find a Saint Nicholas speculoos in their shoes. Folklore and good eating go together. "Speculoos" may be derived from the Latin [speculum] meaning mirror since the cookie is a mirror image of the mold.

Gene, son of a dairy farmer, had collected antique butter molds in the '60s but a Dutch speculaasplank was the first cookie mold he purchased [1970's]. The Wilson family visited a Dutch carver of speculaas molds in Amsterdam in 1975. At that time the carver said there were perhaps 60-70 such carvers of cookie molds in the Netherlands - today, there are very few.
