Cute Fall Baking Gadgets

I saw these cookie cutters, hand pie molds, cookie stamps, pie punches and baking pans on Wms Sonoma/s site. I don’t need any but thought these versions were all so cute. (plllog, did you once mention having some of the molds or punches?)

I am always so tempted by their displays but truthfully I bake infrequently. Somehow I've become the family holiday meal pie maker and I do have a few of the punches in leaf patterns. I do use those to decorate pie top crusts. I really don't enjoy making cookies, I'm more enthusiastic about a pie or cake, something one dish and completed than fooling with all those little individual 'thingies'.

I had a neighbor who would make the most intricate and gorgeous platters of assorted cookies. She would begin baking with her two sisters (they could have gone pro) the day after Thanksgiving and they would mix and roll for 72 hours barely taking a break. When her husband retired, they built a small home on the other side of the state where they summer and a house in Nevada desert where they spend the winter. Before leaving the area, she and her sisters had a cookbook made of their favorite cookie recipes and that last year instead of cookies, I was given the book. I've made her Mexican wedding cakes a few times, they are simple enough and I do like them. They are not pretty like most of the offerings.

Those are what a friend would call "stinkin' cute"!! Harvey sized rabbit hole opening before me of Things-I-Do-Not-Need! I would love to play with all of those, but I have a pumpkin mini cheesecake pan and some nice leaf shaped metal outline cookie cutters. And a round mini-pie mold. I do have some cutters that are similar to the plastic pumpkins and leaves, but they're simple geometrics and create little wells in the middle to be like ersatz Linzers, with the dollop of jam, but no second layer. Those might be what you were thinking of. I also have jars of random cookie cutters, both my mother's old ones and my own, and a couple different alphabets. Everybody's watching their sugar nowadays, even the young ones, so I rarely get a chance to use all these fun things. I love baking, but have no one to eat my wares. :( Thank-you for sharing all the cute, though!

“Harvey sized rabbit hole opening before me of Things-I-Do-Not-Need!”

LOL, rabbit hole for both of us!🥴 The last thing I need are more cookie cutters. Our garage has numerous Rubbermaid containers of them labeled by season/event. I’m also not about to spend $50 on one of the cake pans. Still, hard not to appreciate the CUTE!

Well they sealed...but they aren't pretty! I keep forgetting I am baking challenged LOL. The filling for four of them are a white peach, and the fifth is strawberry fruit spread heh heh for DS #2. Yeah the lattice was a PITA to deal with. The family said they tasted great. I guess one stick of butter in all that dough WOULD be good, LOL. I bought the star mold too...couldn't resist, it was half off.

I meant to comment on how nice everyone's gifts are. Joanm, your dishes are beautiful! Nancy, What is that pot used for? It's so pretty. Is it a specialty pan for cooking a specific dish? Annie, if you pass through the Dallas area on your way south, let me know. Also, be sure to eat at Scampi's when you're in South Padre, and try to get a table either outside if the weather cooperates, or at least situated where you can watch the sunset over the Laguna Madre. It's been 5 years since I've been there, but the food and the service back then were superb. Sally

Whelp I got the project mostly done. I need better latches on the upper cabinet doors as the cat Abby has decided I put that there for her to open doors and climb up into. GGGGRRRRRR Both pieces were on wheels !!!! All furniture should be on wheels. LOL The old stuff has come from all over. I remember the hooser came from a liquor store in Challis. Just some thing they were selling on the side.Most of my stuff really is just junk. Yard sale stuff thrift store. I still need to fine tune things in studio and kitchen but already Hoosier is great where it is and the ability to easily get to the appliances is a big help. Not that getting them from a shelf below cabinet is all that hard. For me now it is. sigh. Good news is my hands are getting better. This has been pretty miserable. I am going to jazz up the hoosier a little bit. I am not at all concerned to devalue it as it is not a good one. Crappy wood not pretty oak. Painted and all. Then I will get a picture. Adding fru fru to the top is out of the question Again Abby has her own opinion on what belongs up there and has cleared it twice already of what she does not like. This dang cat is more like an Orangutan than a sweet little kitty.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my goggles that are the kind meant for chopping onions. They're so cute too, being pink. You put those suckers on and will never shed another tear for an onion! :) I also love my mini (Cuisinart?) food chopper. It's like a tiny version of the standard size and is just a heck of a lot easier to use when you're chopping something small enough like nuts or bread (for bread crumb toppings), etc. The one I have was a hand-me-down so pretty old...so any tiny one would do I'm guessing. I love my Zyliss rotary cheese grater, and also my microplane grater/zester for smaller jobs like just grating fresh parm. on some pasta that's already on my plate. It could do some bigger jobs too though as these things work VERY well and fast! I love gigantic tongs (the all-metal kind that pro cooks use).

morz8, I do know what you mean regarding the ”thingies.” I used to spend hours decorating cookies. These days it’s much less time. I do think the cookie stamps in the photo are nice, and would work with my shortbread. I still have all my shortbread molds (from Brown Bag Cookie Co.). They’re nice but stamps are quicker/easier with cut+design all at once.

I love baking cookies! When we were kids, it was a whole production thing and we were the Cookie People. Nowadays, people eat healthier (but less happy!) and I don't have people to eat the cookies anymore. If I bake cut cookies it's decor, and not really worth the process at that. Sur La Table sent a similar e-mail today, but fewer cute, more things like Halloween dishes and linens (trying too hard to be elegant, which doesn't really work well), and a few of the cute pans and cutters. There is a black 3.5l Staub pumpkin CI. I had a flash of a thought that it's a size I don't have, forgetting the 4l Staub bread pot. (I have the original Le Creuset orange pumpkin CI 2l.) Nope. Don't need 3.5 at all. ;)
