About us
We were established as a family-run business in 2007 near Prague, and since then, we have specialised in the production and sale of cookie cutters.
Our original range included 150 different motifs, which has since expanded to over 480 shapes. These cutters cover a size range from 1 cm to 18.5 cm.
In recent years, we have focused particularly on stainless-steel cutters, which are highly valued for their durability and easy maintenance. Our collection features not only traditional Christmas and Easter designs, but also increasingly popular motifs for children, animal shapes, and various non-traditional designs.
Our products are delivered not only across Europe, but also to countries beyond the continent.
We are delighted to be part of your creative journey
A bit of history: how cookie cutters came to be and what they are used for
The tradition of Christmas cookies dates back to around the 16th century. However, the sweet treats of that time looked very different from those we know today. Housewives used to make figurines from dried fruit and honey. These were intended for children to play with first – and only later to eat.
Sugar once held a symbolic role; it was believed to protect the household and farm from dark forces. For example, sweets shaped like animals were meant to guard all living creatures on the farm.
One important tradition was to bake Christmas treats only using flour from the household’s own harvest. This was thought to ensure a bountiful crop the following year. Dough was sometimes rubbed onto trees, and the leftover water from preparing it was poured into the animals’ feed to support good milk production.
It was also believed that if a housewife burned the cookies, it would bring bad luck, serious illness, or even death in the year to come.
The evolution of festive sweets and cookie cutters
The types of festive biscuits we recognise today began to appear in the 19th century, with the tradition coming mainly from Germany. At that time, however, such sweets were enjoyed only in wealthy households, as they contained expensive and rare spices. Poorer families relied on basic ingredients that were readily available – and it was during this period that the first cookie cutters and baking moulds began to emerge.
The popularity of baking grew rapidly between the world wars, when girls working as maids in bourgeois households brought home a variety of recipes to the countryside. Many of these recipes have been passed down through generations and are still enjoyed by families every year.
By the 20th century, the Czech Republic had become one of the leading nations in festive baking. Several other European countries now share this passion and friendly rivalry – including Germany, Austria, the Alsace region of France, northern Italy, and the Nordic countries.
