We’ve had an unbelievable response from our square and rectangle fancy frame cutters and we’ve seen some AMAZING things done with them from so many people. So we came up with a couple of new shapes that hopefully will inspire as much creativity. Say hello to our new Plaque and Scalloped Oval cutters!
Just as before, we wanted to just come up with a basic shape to use as a canvas, and let the creativity flow from there. Also, people have loved the frame cutters for message cookies! So once again, here are a couple of new shapes to allow you to write just about anything you want – or just decorate them up for whatever occasion you’re decorating for.
So here are just a few ideas I came up with (And, ok— Mike helped!) Can I just point out that the Summers family wasn’t really established in 2000? My head said “1996” and my hand said “2000”. By the time my hand caught up with my brain, it was too late. Does that ever happen to you? But anyway, I digress. I”m so excited to get these cutters out there and see what you uber-creative geniuses come up with!
These cutters are now available on Karen’s Cookies if you’d like to try them out! Click here to see them. We have the Plaque in large and small, and the Scalloped Oval in large and small. To save you some money on them we’ve got a 15% off coupon for you as well! Just type in may2013 in the coupon code box on the shopping cart page and the coupon will be applied.
Ok, so let’s give a few of these away shall we?
Reply to this post by the end of the weekend (By end of day Sunday, May 12th) and we’ll randomly draw 5 of you to win a complete set of these four new cutters (Plaque in two sizes, and the Scalloped Oval in two sizes).
Since it’s Mother’s Day weekend, go ahead and tell me what you love about your mom. I’ll go first– My mom is my number one fan. She has always encouraged me to grow my talents and go after my dreams, (even if they’re a little looney), and she always tells me how proud she is of me even if I don’t deserve it. Thank you, Mom. I love you!
Good Luck!

My mom is the best… She is always there for me and she is also the greatest grandma!
My mother taught me by example wow to pass on unconditional love to my children. To
Love Jesus in everything I think say and do. And to say the word No,
I love these cute cutters!
I love my rectangle cutters and these ovals will come in handy. I love my mom, she is always there to try my new cookies.
I have 2 moms, One who raised me, She is wonderful and I consider her my real mom. And the one who gave birth to me, she left me at 2 yrs old. I didn’t see again until I was 30, Both are in my lives now and I am so grateful. Thank you Karen for coming up with new ideas for us. Keeps us going when we hit a slump.
I love to bake and my mom taught me a lot of what I know. I love cutters, especially the ones that are a little different. Thanks for your contest.
My mom has always been there for me and best of all, has forgiven my antics during my younger years. She is elderly now but is still with it and is my biggest supporter!
My mom has always supported my “looney” ideas too (and I’ve been involved in WAY too many things to even count! — nothing illegal, though LOL)! She has always been there to listen no matter what’s going on in my or my sister’s and brother’s lives. She’s been that stability and rock when it seemed that things were way crazy.
I Love your cookie cutters!!! I love my mom because she taught me how to bake 🙂
My mom passed away in 2001. It’s been 12 years now, but I miss her so much and still catch myself thinking, “I need to share that with Mom!” when something comes up.
I’d love asset of these awesome shapes! What I love most about my mom is her smile and ability to laugh easily. She’s always laughing and smiling!
I will comment about my FAVORITE mom, my mother in law. She encouraged me to be all I can be and it was her idea that got this company off the ground. She was an inspiration to me and I miss her every day. I can only imagine the ideas she would have for these new cutters!
My mom is one of the most generous people I know. I try hard to follow in her footsteps!
Happy Mother’s day to you, Karen!
My mom’s gone, but I still have some of her old cookie cutters, and I love remembering our baking together.
my mum is amazing, she is there if i need her but never interferes.
Love you mum.
Like your mom, mine is my #1 fan… She ALWAYS there for me through the good times and the bad. She sets my bar as mother ,HIGH! I hope to be all that she is and more to my girls!
My mom is amazing…she is so supportive of me, with anything I do, and she keeps me in butter all the time…if there is a sale…she stocks up for me.
I love that my mom taught me to bake I think of her every time I bake and teach my son:)
My mom is one of my best friends. She’s supportive, but let’s me figure things out on my own. She’s there every time I need her. I hope my girls grow up to say the same about me!
My Mom isn’t around anymore. She passed away in 2006. But I loved her alot. I moved her in with us and was her caretaker for 3 years. She had it rough having lost my brother in 1983 and was never the same. It got worse in 1994 when my Dad passed. So being the only one left, I wasn’t going to let her down and put her in a home. Now I hope my kids love me just as much when that time comes. Guess that was a bit of a downer! Sorry! Mother’s Day always brings back those feelings!
My mom is my Hero! The most selfless person alive!! 🙂
Great cutters!
What I love most about my mom is that she is very down-to-earth and she often balances me out (and spoils my kids in only the way a mom/Grammy could)!
My mom is amazing! There for us whenever we need her!!
my mom taught me to be a selfless, giving, compassionate person and for this I am so very grateful 🙂
My mom is 91 and still a funny, strong woman! She has been a hard worker all of her life.
my mother the love of baking. she taught me the recipes she learned in the old country and told me the stories behind them. i miss her so much but smile when i think of her, i have her rolling pin and whenever i use it i know she is there with me.
Love your new cutters and also your ideas!! I’m headed to your shop right now!

My mother in law is one tough cookie – her mom died when she was 16 , she basically raised her 3 sisters and then 6 kids of her own. She is a strong lady!
My mom is always there for me.
I’ve been wanting plaque cutters for a while now and have been resisting the urge to buy them…hope I’m one of the lucky winners 🙂 One of my favorite things about my mom is that she is always the life of the party. No matter the time, place, event…she’ll make you have a giggle.
I love my mom because she puts up with all of my shenanigans!
I miss my Mom so much – she passed away the week before Christmas and I don’t think I’ll ever be “over it”. She was my greatest cheerleader and religiously read my blog. She taught me how to love food and that it was ALWAYS important for your food to look as good as it tasted.
I love that my mom thinks I am wonderful even though we are polar opposites. And that she will not eat my cookies – just keeps them on display because she can’t bear to eat my ‘art’ – ha!
My mom has been gone almost 15 years, but I’ve been lucky enough to have my friend’s moms step in and be awesome to me. I’ll always remember my best friend’s mom in college making me an Easter basket every year 🙂
My mom is always there to lend a hand, even when I don’t ask for it. She seems to always know when I could use a little extra help.
My mother passed away over 16 years ago but I always remember everything she ever taught me. I hope I have passed everything I learned from her on to my own daughters.
My mom set the incredible example for me of believing that she can do anything she sets her mind to. I’ve never heard her say “oh, I could never do that!” so I don’t say it either. (unless we’re talking about something crazy like skydiving)
I love my mom because she is the reason I love baking so much. She is my biggest cheerleader and always helps me throw around ideas for a new cookie design! My mom ROCKS!!!
My mom is my best friend, she is always helpful….wherever and whatever I’m doing. We love to sew and craft together, one of our favorite things to do together is make quilts.
I have been waiting for a scolloped oval! Thank you, thank you. I will be excited to try both of these. Keep up the supurb service!
My Mom has been gone for over 10 years and I still miss her dearly. But I learned how to bake from her and use her butter cookie recipe for all my cut-out cookies. It’s delicious and everyone loves them!
My mom is the original Lucy Ricardo – she is always into something!!! Love her 🙂 We love to do projects together when she is visiting me.
My mom passed away several years ago, but she was my biggest fan. She would have loved seeing my new found cookie decorating.
I learned to bake watching my mother. She is in a long term care facility now and I try to bring her something baked at least once a week. I’m a cookie newbie and having tons of fun learning! My co-workers are reaping the benefits of my “test cookies”! 🙂
I love my Mother’s courage. She has had many challenges to face and has face them them head on. She has had some very dark days but never lost her sense of humor. My mom has been a wonderful friend and one of the first to offer her help. My mom is like many other mom’s ..a mom first and always. Happy Mother’s Day .
Thank you
I love that my mom has become my friend and there’s rarely a time we talk without a bout of laughter 🙂 Love your cookie cutters and that you keep adding new and exciting ones like this!
Love love love them!!
My mom is my teacher. Everything I learned from her I use every day. Some people say they don’t want to become their mother, but I am proud to say that I came pretty darn close!
I love that my Mom has been my inspiration to conquer my dreams. She came to the U.S. from Cuba when she was only 19 years old. She had a dream to make her life better and she conquered that by working hard and believing in herself and she’s reminded me to do the same:-)
I love my Mom soooo much! We talk to each other every day even though we live a state away from one another! She has always done so much for me! And now she does the same for my children! Cute cookie cutters and great giveaway!
And I love that my mom is a fighter, always stands up for what he believes in, and kicked cancers butt 🙂
I love my Mom’s courage and strength. She’s had a tough few years but keeps on going 🙂
My mom is the best! She’s not just my mom she is also my best friend!
My mom is one of the most generous people I know. She is so giving in every way…her time, talents, and actual physical gifts. She is also the most amazing grandma (Geeg) to all four of her grandchildren too!
My mom has been gone for many many years but it still seems like yesterday. There is never anyone who loves you like your mom.
Send me a catalog
New to decorating cookies. Won’t get to see two of my kids for Mother’s Day. But, hopefully, will get to see my middle child and my grandson. Mother’s Day isn’t about flowers, presents and such. It is about seeing your kids.
I love how my mom always taught us the importance of family and having dinners together. So many great meals!
My Mom is great. We lost my sister to a drunk driver a few years ago. I admire her strength. She is also wonderful grandmother to my twin girls.
My Mum – just like yours, encourages me to follow my dreams no matter what ( ok…sometimes she gently tries to get me back from LaLaLand too ) She is my everything! My world, my rock and my best friend and I love her to bits!!!
Happy Mothers Day to every single Mum around the World!
I learned how to bake anD decorate cookies from my mother. She is the best!
Oh Karen, what a super sweet giveaway. It makes me sad to say that my mom passed away when I was 10 years old. I’ve been missing her for 38 Mothers’ Days. Sort of a bittersweet holiday for me each year, missing her but so very thankful for my three (grown) children. Life is short. Please hug your momma this weekend if you can. I miss that. — Joni S. from SpringFling
I love that my Mom can be so patient and understanding with me even if I’ve done or said something horrible.
LOVE the new Cutters! My Mom is my #2 Cookie Taste Tester…Dad was #1. She never met a cookie she didn’t like!!
These would be great plaques for cakes!
My mom is the person who taught me the joy of cooking and baking! I don’t know what you call a “green thumb” in baking, but she had it and passed it along.
These are FABULOUS!!!! I’ll definitely be buying these!!!!
Thank you so much, for all the tips and clear ideas you always share with us. I’ve learn a lot from you, I wish You all the blessings.
Thanks
I love my mom because she has been there to support me non stop. Whether it was when I had my first child to wanting to change majors when I was half way through. She made sure that me and my little brother had everything and even with heart problems and pending heart surgery, she still manages to go all out for us even thought we are all grown up. I want to wish a Happy Mother’s day to all the wonderful mothers out there! 🙂
My mom always made holidays special by baking special treats. We would both Love these!
My mom is always there for me when I need her, and I love that! These cutters are awesome…I am crossing my fingers real tight! 🙂
OMG so excited. Love these cutters. I immediately said I’ve got to get me these. But I’ll wait just in case I win ;). You guys rock!
Ha I was so excited I missed the mothers day comment. Well my mum is my biggest fan and supporter. We live so far apart but her daily calls and stocking of my FB page make her feel close. I jest of course. She is simply the best
My mother has been my model of courage, love, compassion, braveness, respect, and hard working. She is now 89 and she keeps smiling and dreaming about hat future. She taught me that living is more than being alive.
Ps: just love the cookie cutters and if I win I already know which design I would come up with to please my mom and myself for sour favorite time together, an afternoon tea!
My mom has been gone for 22 years. She died at the very early age of 61. Mom was the most fabulous hostess to many parties and gatherings.Dad was the men’s basketball coach at a small Texas college and the two of them made quite a team. There were always dinners, holiday events, and team celebrations in our home. Every Saturday night, my sister and I were required to help “set the formal table” for Sunday lunch. Mother always had us use the china, sterling silver, and her best crystal with formal linens. She used these sweet times to teach us about manners and the talents of being a good hostess. I have always treasured these memories, but even more priceless have been those “lessons” learned. I continue in her footsteps and enjoy playing hostess to entertain family and friends. Many of Mom’s “hostess specifics’ are ones I always rely on. The completion of any food served is the sweet last few bites with an exceptional cup of coffee! Cookies have played a starring roll in our family traditions. I regularly have batches of Christmas, birthday, baby shower, or event cookies in the making. My daughter’s wedding featured a table with our family traditional Christmas cookies! Mom would have been so thrilled! I cherish Mother more as the time goes by and continue to be grateful for the many treasured lessons I learned from her! I am excited to be soon using your new cutters
Missing Mom, but I always feel like she’s with me when I am in my kitchen…..
My mom taught me how to bake…and she is the funniest person I know.
My mom has always been supportive of me. I just wish she lived closer so I could spend more time with her. And I love the new cutters!!!
I love my mom because she taught me how to work hard and then to play hard! Love the scallop cutters!!!
I adore my plaque cutters from you and use them as often as I can, they are great for personalized cookies which make a lovely gift to accompany a cake! My mum.. well she is one in a million, loving and caring she supported me more than i could have hoped for in a time in my life i needed it most ( i got preg at 17) and is still supporting me 5 years later with my cake business and is an amazing nanny what more can I ask for!
My mom is like the Energizer bunny – she keeps going, and going, and going. She is my rock.
my mom is the best, she the only one who love to try my cookies. she inspire me alot on baking…luv u mom 🙂
What’s great about my mom is her giving heart. Always willing to put others before her, even when she may need the most help.
And I would *love* these cookie cutters to add to my new ever growing collection!
My mom passed in 2002. She was my best friend. She was a nationally known artist. She was also published & been on tv show 4 her creativity. I got lots of her creativity. I would love to win a set of these cutters
I’ve purchased tone of the plaque cutters. Use them all the time. Top quality and great to work with.
I lost my Mom a long time ago but one of the things she loved to do most was bake cookies at Christmas time. Every year she added a new recipe or two. The house smelled delicious from Thanksgiving onward. There were stacks of big tupperware containers and tins. She would make beautiful trays for everyone she and my Dad could think of. I had my favorites of course. Oddly, she stayed away from decorated cut out cookies (which I am addicted to making). We never got a chance to make cookies together ;( Karen, thanks so much for the new plaque cutters in 2 sizes! You can never be too thin, too rich or have too many plaque cutters!
My mom is the person I miss most in all the world.
My mom is no longer with us. She was the best and I loved baking with her. Shewas always my biggest supporter. I miss her everyday 🙂
My mom is fantastic: she is my number one fan and is always supportive, even when not even I believe in myself. She can give some harsh feedback but I know it’s always coming from a place of love. I know I can count on her when I need support, love, advice, and an honest word.
Now that I’m going to become a mom myself, I have been thinking a lot about what a role of a mother is. My mom has been a fantastic role model: loving, strong, intelligent, independent, and a survivor. I hope I will be as a great of a mom as she is. Happy mother’s day to all the cookie-loving moms out there!!
I love watching my mom make cookies, this would be a great present for her for mothers day!
My mother always put her children first. She raised 7 children while running a business. She also found the time to watch her grandchildren when needed. She is amazing. She just turned 80.
So excited about scallop oval. Yay
Love your new cutters.
What an amazing giveaway. My mom is also my number one cheerleader. She pretty much thinks I’m the best. Haha
My Mom didn’t get to see the decorated cookies I’ve been making the past 5 years, but I’ve always been inspired by her love for cooking and entertaining. She and my Dad were members of a “Gourmet Group” of 6 couples where they had theme dinners with tablescapes, menus, etc! I will miss her this Mother’s Day!
My mom is my best friend. She is always willing to help me and my family.
Thanks, Kare-Bear, I love you too. And, I am your biggest fan. Although I’m not eligible to win the cutters, I just wanted you to know how much I love you.
My mom is very generous. She is one to be there if you need her. And the best is that she LOVES her grandkids.
Even though my mom is no longer here, her memory lives on for me and my sisters. She wanted us to be strong, independant women but also taught us how to cook, bake and sew. We all had a lot of fun making Christmas cookies every year together and I treasure those memories as I make decorated cookies now.
Hi Karen! I sure would would love to be one of your five lucky winners 😉
My mom always goes above and beyond. From helping me with college and student loans to watching my son full time when I went back to work for free. She supports me in everything I do, even when I’m wrong and we both know it.
My mom “WAS” the best and she would be so proud of what I’m starting to do in the cookie business, the best part is I’m doing a lot of donating to cancer fund raisers and rescue groups so they can auction my cookies off and raise money/awareness… Thank you for offering the give away!
My mom always has my back and lifts me up!! She loves my cookies and always does her best to spread the word to help my small
Business out!! She’s definitely always has a positive attitude even when I’m in a slump!! Hope she helps me win those amazing cutters!!
My mom and I stayed close no matteer where my husband and I moved, far or near. Being celiac I used to make her gluten free decorated cookies and sent them across the miles to here. When 6 years ago we moved back closer to home, I found a freezer full of cookies I had sent her, she just did not have the heart to break her daughters pretty cookies!! Ohh Mom! I miss her so much she passed away 4 years ago this late July. She taught me so many things in life. So many times even now I would love to pick up the phone and talk with her or better yet spend time again!
My mother is not only an excellent mother but the best grandmother with my son. Love the relation they have and how much they love each other.
I´d love to have these new cookie cutters.
My mom is gone but I feel her spirit in my heart.
My mom made every holiday really special and fun. We have lots of great family traditions and our family is very close to each other because of it.
I learned everything I know about baking and cooking from my mom. She is the best and is always there for everyone! I don’t know what I’d do without her!
My Mom is always there for me. Always a supporter and telling me to just do my best, that she is always proud of me. I am so lucky
My mom passed away in 2002. She never saw my cookie decorating but I know she would have loved them. She was proud of everything I did. It was eleven years ago tonight, in fact that she had a stroke.
My Mom gave me roots and wings. She taught me the importance of family AND of independence.
My mom passed away when I was five, so I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with her. I do remember her baking cookies and I know she loved animals, especially horses. I love that she passed on her love of animals and baking cookies to me!
Would love these!
I love your new cutters and it’s good to hear from you again! I’ll be making graduation cookies for my grandson in a few days and like some of your examples that might work for that. Thanks!
I love my Mom! Everyone always refers to her as “one tough cookie”. Her strong personality and determination got her through lots of trying times (she was one of 12 children, battled breast cancer, had to have knee replacement, etc…). As kids, she taught us to craft, cook and crochet. I inherited my artistic side from her, for sure! I am certain that she is looking down from heaven, smiling, because today I teach art to pre-k through 8th grade children. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of my Mom 🙂
I love the new cutters! My mom is my hero. She is a breast cancer survivor, not once but twice! She’s never let it get her down. I’m very fortunate to have such an awesome mom!
My Mom was the one who got me interested in baking & cooking. Before she left for work she would write down the instructions & recipe for dinner that night. I had to follow and start dinner before my her & my Dad got home from work( even if that meant leaving my softball or basketball practice). My team-mates used to call me Betty Crocker !
My mother taught me to cook and her love for baking will always be a fond memory. It didn’t stop there though, my grandmother also was a good cook. The best memories center around the kitchen and cooking with family.
Love them Karen!
My Mom would absolutely do anything for anyone. Her confidence in me borders on the crazy, but is very reassuring. Ha!
Love love the new cutters! My mom has to be the kindest person there is. Also, selfless and a hard worker. She always jumps in to help feed, clean and entertain my kids. I want to be just like her as a Grandma!
I’ll have to talk about my step mom, as I didn’t get to know my real mom very well. My step mom has always been there for me and has always encouraged me to do my very best at whatever I attempted to do. She’s always laughing, smiling, and showing how much she cares. She had 6 kids of her own when she married my dad, but was so willing to include me and treat me as one of her own. She has always made me feel loved and part of her family. She’s very important to me and I have no problem calling her “mom”. I love her dearly. And if I win these cutters, she will be the first to receive cookies made from them!
You people are the best , the cutters are lovely.I hope to win, blessings your way
Although my mom passed years ago she was always my biggest cheerleader in whatever I choose to pursue.
I call my Mom ” The Mexican Martha Stewart”. With 10 of us, she was so talented from cooking, canning foods, and sewing. She instilled a love of cooking in me and now I teach classes.i would love to make some special cookies just for her!
My Mom is awesome! She has helped me out so much throughout my life, always very supportive and willing to lend me a hand when I need it most…because of her I was able to earn my bachelor’s degree while raising my daughter, I couldn’t have done it without her help.
My mom is an amazing women. She has had 4 major surgeries in the past 6 months and can no longer walk on her own but she never complains. She loves seeing the cookies me and my sister make. We post them on face book and she looks at them from her ipad. She is 82 and at Thanksgiving time, she said she was thankful for her i pad. Her grandchildren couldn’t stop laughing. Mom was an amazing cook in her time and she has taught me to preserve in life and to trust in God.
great set of cutters. My mom was the best. Loved her deeply. Now my best friend’s mom is “mom” now!
So many ways you can design these cookies this is awesome
I want to win these for my wife. She makes the best cookies!
My mom is my inspiration. She was the first person to teach me how to bake and now has become my official taste tester. She has allowed me to take over her kitchen when I’m doing my “projects”, never complains when she has no counter space or kitchen table. She’s someone I can always go to, to run crazy ideas passed and giving suggestions to make things better.
My mom has been there for the good times and bad. I love her more than words csn say.
Hoping 2 win these for a good friend. She deserves them!
I love my mom.
Thanks to my mom I’m in this world today, even thought I didn’t learn how to bake with her when I go visit her she can enjoy my baking 🙂 Love the new cookie cutters!!!
I’d love to win this set of cutters….my mother would have been the first to say “I can’t wait to see what
you can do with them.” Loved everything I would do….made me feel like a million dollars always.
My sis is like my mom. She has done lots for me. I can never repay her. I love her and want her to win these cutters 🙂
My mom has always done her very best to be there for me when she can. She’s 85 and still hopping…..just not so high!
I love my mom because she works on construction sites ( yes actually does the work!) with my dad and loves every minute of it!! I am going to make her some construction themed cookies for Mother’s Day : )
My mom is crazy like me & always makes me laugh! She inspires my creativity & is always there (even when she’s busy) to listen to me ramble 🙂 ❤ my momma!
So many things I love about my Mom but I love how she cares so much about people, that she goes out of her way to help in any way she can. She’s a great Grandma to all of her Grandkids and she is the best cook! I love my Mom!!
Have a Wonderful Mother’s Day Karen!
I love these cutters. Hoping to win. My mother was the best and will be dearly missed.
I thank God every day that I have such a wonderful Mother. She helped to instill the love of baking in me! (and the cookie cutters are cool too)
I love that my mom is always there for me. Now that I’m a single mom, my mom takes my son to speech therapy every week, watches him if he’s sick and I have to go to work, etc. I couldn’t do it without my mom.
I Love Love Love the cookie cutters!!! I would LOVE a set of these versatile shapes! =)
My Mom is such a blessing to me! She is so loving, & supportive. She is always there to cheer me on in all of my endeavors. The Lord has blessed me with the perfect Mom and I don’t know what I would do without her! Happy Mothers Day!
My mom is my best friend and even though we are miles apart we talk to each other everyday. She has been my greatest supporter and is always there for me when I need her. I have needed her a lot since I became a mom last October.
My Mom is still always there for me even now at 83. She loves when I bake for her and thinks my average decorating skills are amazing. Love the new cookie cutters and always learning new things from your site.
My mom is also my neighbor, I take care of her since she lost her leg due to diabetes in 2003 … she is 68 years old and inspires me daily… she didn’t give up, continues to be beautiful and is always thinking of ways to help when I need it… When I was young she was always there to pick me up when I was down and I love her very much! I couldn’t have asked for a better mother than her… God gave me to a wonderful lady! Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers and a little prayer to all the mom’s who have lost their children. May you find peace and comfort on days like this.
Mrs. Lettie ~ Seguin, TX
My mom is the best. She is all about family. She has always been there for us and never complains. When anyone is around her they automatically smile. She just makes you feel happy.
I love these!!!! Do many ideas are running through my head!! About my Mom…I admire her for her strength and courage over the years and for believing that no matter what, everything will work itself out.
My mum always encouraged my love of cooking, something that I have also passed down to my daughter 🙂
My Mom is my Gods gift to our family! She is the glue that holds our family together!
My mom passed away almost 2 years ago. I hope that she would be proud of where I am today.
My mom is dancing with the angels in Heaven but she would love any of the items you have for sale! 🙂 She was a fabulous cook and that’s where I learned so much. She loved to bake and I do too! I treasure all the handwritten recipes that I have from her, my aunts and grandmother.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Pat
Mom always encourages me to think outside the box. She also convinced me that everything is possible!
I love these designs!! So many ideas are running through my head!! About my Mom…she and I are very different, but I have come to admire her strength and courage in the belief that in the end, everything really will be okay. That assurance has helped me greatly through the years…and everything does somehow work itself out.
My mom is the best — she is always super supportive and looks out for me. She is always there when I need someone to talk to or bounce ideas of off. My sisters and I are always on the top of her prayer list at night too 🙂 GREAT cutters by the way! Would LOVE to win these!
Great new cutters! Thanks for having such a generous giveaway. My Mama is one of the most giving people I know. Sometimes I think her mouth just cannot speak the word no. Doing for others and not expecting anything in return is how we should all strive to live our lives
I never win, but it’s worth a try:)
Love your ideas!
My mom is my best friend and is always there for me when I need her. She is the best!!
My mom loved to bake and that’s where I get my love of baking. My mom died 2-18-2011 and one if her things I was lucky to get was her rolling pin. I remember growing up and learning how to roll and cut out cookies using that rolling pin and her old metal cutters with handles on them.. My kids grew up looking forward to making Christmas cookies at grandmas house and I hope to teach my grand kids to do the same with that very same rolling pin.
Totally love the new cutters, can’t wait until I can get my hands on them.
I love these cutters!! I also love that my mom always gets genuinely proud and excited with each of my accomplishments, no matter how big or small.
Guess I’ll try to win too. I love the fact that my mom always supports me in whatever adventure I’m undertaking.
Those are so cool, might inspire me to make some neat cookies!
Oh my! These cookie cutters look like so much fun!
My mom passed away last year but she was always supportive of my creativity in baking pretty things.
My Momma always shopped at the grocery stores that had the cutest bag boys. This was in the 1970’s. She never hesitated to load me, my brother, and sister in the car, along with neighbor kids too, and go to the movies, ice cream store, swimming pool, etc. She always supports me in every thing that I do. I have the best Momma in the world!
I love my Mother and I am so glad she is still in my life! She is witty and funny, always makes me laugh!
My Mom was the greatest cook and I am lucky to have inherited her talents in the kitchen.
Even at 83 years old, my mother still always puts her children first.
My mom is in heaven, but gave me a love for baking.
I love my mom because she’s very loving and supportive, and she taught me about Jesus.
Mom my let me draw on my walls and that’s why I am so creative.
My mother loved to cook and my mother-in-law loved to bake. Both pasted away years ago. I was very fortunate to get some of each of their kitchen things. Everytime I use them, I can picture them sitting on a chair in the kitchen, telling me stories about their mothers and what things they loved doing with them. I did the same thing with my daughter and now I am teaching my granddaughters how to cook and bake. I now know why they loved the kitchen so much. It brings everyone close. It is the heart of the house.
Happy Mothers Day 🙂

My mom is my hero. I always have and always will strive to be as amazing and selfless as she is. I am baking 20 dozen sugar cookies for my son’s wedding on June 15th, and these cutters will help me make wonderful designs!
I can’t tell you how much my mom means to me! She was the one who taught me how to make my favorite chocolate chip cookies1
My mom always thinks so much more highly of me than I feel I deserve!
First — I LOVE LOVE LOVE that scalloped oval!! Such a great shape! Second — I love that my mom is basically a saint. Seriously, I don’t think she has ever made a selfish choice in her life. She is always giving and helping other people and expecting nothing in return.
How fun! I would love to win. My mom always has my back.
My mother is the best woman in the world. She is lovely and sweet mommy I love her very much.
She is a blessing God give to me and she is my everything in my life.
Love and miss my grandmother who always loved to cook and bake. Her house was filled with cookies and candies every year at Christmas.
Love the new cutters! The old ones are great for wedding favors; these will be too! My mom too is my biggest fan. So much so in fact she does not eat any of the cookies I make for her. They seem to appear on her Christmas tree, in wreaths, etc. She is too funny and I just love her to pieces : )
My mom is more my best friend since I became an adult. Except without the drama 😉
my mum is my number 1 fan too, and is always cheering me on and never gives up!
Her cooking! :)~
My mom has taught me to never give up on my dream. She should us unconditional love and how to be fair with other… There aren’t enough words to describe what she’s taught me or what she truly means to me and my children. She’s truly an angel
My mom is my best friend, and now that am a mom I understand alot of the things that she told me and warned me about.
She is one of my biggest fans and supporters, she is an amazing listener and advice giver 🙂
Replying to your post!
I wish I had a mother………

My mom is my best friend and taught me all about cooking and baking…she is what made me what I am today and I think I’m a pretty special person because of her.
My mom is awesome! She’s always there for me no matter what!!
My mom instilled in me an appreciation for baking and making something I can be proud of. She gave me my very first cookie cutters.
I started making desserts when I was 12 . My mom let me make a mess of her kitchen , always loved what I made even when it wasn’t so good. Now when I make cookies and take them to her, I think of how far I have come , thanks to her.
my mom is an excellent cook, but not a baker. She is my official taste-tester, is always super honest , and gives the best compliments 🙂
My Step mum is the best, she chose to be my mum after my real mum passed away 28 years ago
My mom is so proud of what I do, she sends me most of my customers! Love you!
And thanks for the opportunity, these cutters are amazing!
My mom is a non-stop go-getter and an awesome example of a great Mom and great Grandma!
I love all of them! I also love my mom, she just had a mastectomy and never lost her sense of humor throughout the whole ordeal. She is the person who taught me to not worry sooo much, “for tomorrow is another day”!
I have the best mom in the world. She is so generous and a great role model. I wish I could spend more time with her.
My mom taught me the value of hard work and living your dream!
My mom taught me how to bake!
Love the new scalloped cutters…thank you for getting them. My mom rocks because she takes such good care of my father who is fighting cancer! She’s the best…love you mom!
My mom showed me how to be creative and how to love children. Her involvement in my life is priceless.
My mom taught me all about baking and cooking…. she helped shape me into the person I am today and I think I’m a pretty special person because of her!!!
My mom is just amazing in more ways that I can say – she’s always been there for all seven of us kids, and now that I have four boys of my own I honestly don’t know how she didn’t go bonkers?!! 🙂
My Mom has always been my biggest supporter of whatever I wanted to do in life. I will always be grateful to her for that.
After having a difficult relationship with my mom for years, I’m thankful that it’s changed. I not only love her, but like her too!
I love that my mom is so patient. And that she was right about EVERYTHING! But you never truly know until you have kids yourself.
My mom is the strongest woman that I know! She has been my rock all my life! She taught me how to bake and I thank her everyday for that!!!
My mom is also one of my biggest fans. She still oohs and ahhs about every cookie set I make. When I started my business 3 years ago, she wanted to contribute so she bought me a KopyKake – how could you NOT love her?!? 🙂
My Mom gives me the best smooch therapy ever!
My mom loves chocolate as much as I do, so I always make the perfect dessert!
My mom has such strong faith and I admire her for that.
My mother is the creative one and she has taught me everything I know about baking and decorating. She’d have as much fun with these cookie cutters as I would!
My mom will drop whatever she is doing to help me. Supports all that I do.
I love my Mom. She has always been there to encourage me in whatever I chose to pursue. I’m the oldest of four. We are all adults now, but we are still her babies no matter what age.
My mum was the one that inspired me to get into creating cakes.. I remember my mum making our birthday cakes as kids so my first ever 3D cake was for her birthday and it was a re-creation of her caravan..
My mom always baked especially during Christmas. We use to spend days baking 30+ dozen cookies. I continued the tradition long after she went to heaven (she was such a loving, christian woman). I now have a daughter that bakes cakes as a side business. This year I’m spending mothers day with her ( a first since she left the home 13 years ago & joined the army) and get to bake for her 6 kids during my visit. Happy Mothers day to all the moms out there.
My mother is always there for me. I have been through a lot and she has always been by my side.
My mom is the strongest lady I know. She lost her husband, both of her parents and her home to a fire all in a 10 year time span 😦 She keeps a smile on her face every day regardless of the circumstances 🙂 She is an inspiration. She watches my little one while I grow my cookie business and I just cannot imagine a day without talking to her. I celebrate her not just on Mother’s Day, but every day!!
I love the smell of my mom when I hug her, the smell of her food when she’s cooking, and her amazing advice she’s given me through out my life. I love my mommy! 🙂
I would love to win a set of these. Thanks in advance for the chance to win them. Eileen Bartsch
My love of crafting a baking came from my Mom. She was always baking something delicious in her kitchen or working on a craft project. We would make some things together. Thank you Mom for all the fun times we had, that I continue on to this day!
My mom is such a great example! Service, hard work, developing talents, cooking, sewing, grandma duties…I coul go on but you get the idea. 🙂
My mother is probably my best friend. We talk every day. 🙂
My mother is the most giving person I know. She would do anything for anyone, especially her children. I try and do the same. It’s easier when my kids aren’t fighting…
There are so many things I love about my Mom, she is my best friend, an amazing Mom, a wonderful Nanny to her 7 grandchildren, a loving wife to my Step-dad & the most superb cook there is! She is always willing to help anyone, even complete strangers. She has instilled all of these qualities in me and I am carrying them on to my daughter. I would love to win and share these with my Mom and daughter and make some yummy cookies! Thanks!
What I remember most about my MoM was her sense of humor. She would laugh hardest at herself! Her courage, she came to this country not really knowing the language. She made a wonderful, loving home in the US without having any of her family here! Miss her every day! Please hug your mothers for me!
From Mason (9): My mom does so much for me. I’m a kid cook who does live cooking demos and You Tube videos. My mom helps me develop recipes, takes me to tv appearances, and so much more. She and I have so much fun in the kitchen, she’s the best. You should go to my website, I have a give away on now, too! http://www.masonpartak.com
My mom is my biggest and supporter, who never fails to believe in me and who knows I can do things even when I don’t. Love her to bits!
My mother was a good friend and I miss her.
Great giveaway! My mom had the best sense of humor..always enjoyed spending time with her and really miss her!
I love my mom because she taught me how to cook, and gave me all her yummy recipes!
My Mom raised 8 of us…2 girls and 6 boys! She was a stay at home Mom! She made sure we were clothed, feed, comfortable, and taught us alot. We are all grown adults and have succeed and excelled thanks to her! Thanks Mom! We all love you!
My Mother passed away 10 yrs ago. She taught me to sew when I was 5 and by 8 yrs old, I was wearing the Dresses I made. She was my inspiration for going to Culinary School. I had a lot more knowledge that others in my class – with her as a cheerleader, I graduated with 4.0. Miss you Mom!
My mom is 80 this year! she thinks im perfect even though i know im not!! love you Mom!!
acttually when i was growing up I was the cookie baker in my family. The most memorable ones were the snicker doodles that I put two tablespoons of cream of tarter instead of teaspoons… My dad just reminded me of those the other day even though Ia made them 50 years ago… Haha! I love cookie cutters and Karen’s cookies 🙂
Mom would be very pleased if she could see how creative I’ve become with cookie decorating. Miss you Mom.
My Mom was Japanese and when my father, an American soldier, died when I was three, she remained in the U.S. so I could grow up an American. She never remarried and devoted her life to raising me. She passed away in 1991 at the age of 70. She was such a brave woman. Enjoy the time you have with your Moms! They won’t always be here. Thanks for the giveaway!
my mom is a big fan of my cookies 🙂 and is very supportive of my new little side business
My Momma was my heart, my life and my world. In her eyes there was nothing I couldn’t do.
These are cute
My mom has been gone since 2001. I’m constantly doing things that remind me of her. She taught by example. She lived with us for 6 years and loved doing cookies with me. I miss her. Thanks for the giveaway!! Love the new cutters–Katy
When my husband was sick, my Mom and Dad moved from out of state to be near us. She watched the kids while we went to doctor appointments and had dinner ready when we were done. She’s teaching my daughter to quilt and always goes to the kids’ programs, whether it is sports, music, or school. I love you Mom ❤
Of course I love my mom but the most generous and sacrificial thing she has ever done for me was to literally put her life on hold, moved to Wisconsin, and spent seven months at Children’s hospital by my side as my 3 month old son went through chemo and a bone marrow transplant. Couldn’t have survived without her! ( my son is now 12 and very healthy!)
My grandma raised me and it’s from her I got my love of cooking.She was a “dumper” never used a recipe in her life.I am much like that too.She made bread almost daily and her pie..well it was to die for!
I have made and sold cookie over the years.One time for an event my son was holding I had decorated over 500 cookies .I have a huge collection on cutters..but there is all ways room for more.
Happy Mother’s Day to All…
I lost my mom in Aug 2011…she loved for me to bake for her…every week she would call and tell me what treat she wanted for the week,,,Wow I miss her like crazy! She fought 7 types of cancer for over 25 years…Talk about faith & strength!
My mom is wisest person I know. And she was wise enough to let her kids make their own mistakes, knowing she’d raised us right and we’d be ok. 🙂
I love my Mom she taught me to be self reliant and tonight me to cook and bake and the home made and from scratch is possible to do.
I love these cutters!!
I love these cookie cutters and enjoy reading your blog.
I would love to have these cutters, I don’t have any plaque cutters so these would be perfect to start my collection with!
I love my mom and my grandma they always in the kitchen making delicious cookies and cakes i learn by example just watching them…my mom is my hero, she is a great Mom always there for me no matter what….and i love to bake ♥ and love ur store i want everything!!!
Hello! Those new cutters are great! I would love to get them so I can create some amazing cookie designs 🙂
The best thing about my mother for which I am immensely thankful to her is that she took the pain to give birth to me.
I love my my mum because she made
me the person I am today, she taught
me to cook Italian dishes and always encouraged me to bake cakes and biscuits.
Now that I have 2 small children I enjoy to bake and see their little faces light up, just as I did when I was young. We still make home
made pasta together to this day. My mum is my best friend…
I am currently putting together a cookbook of all my mother’s recipes. She is a legend in the small town of Homedale, Idaho. My mom is now 82 years old and I am with her and my dad as much as I can be, but living six hours away from them limits me. I made bread for her earlier this week and she still has to come and “test the dough” to make sure it is at the “just right” consistency. I love her and she inspires me as she slowly loses her mobility and vision, she still does crosswords and sudoku puzzles to keep her mind alert. And the latest thing is she is giving away all of her fabric as she cannot see well enough to sew. She has made hundreds of quilts over the years for her family, humanitarian efforts, fundraisers and wedding gifts. Now, she is passing on the material to others who are still making quilts. My mom is my hero, teacher, mentor, partner in crime and the greatest example of service I know. I wish you could all spend an afternoon with her – you would all love her! I love my mom.
Love my mom! I love her for all the wonderful things she has done for me over the years. When I was in third grade, I won the Mother’s Day essay contest at school. I was told that I won because I wrote about all the wonderful things that my mom does for me and not the things that she buys for me. I think this proves that she is a loving and thoughtful mom, who always puts everyone else before herself. : )
My mom is always supportive no matter what goal we (me and my siblings) set for ourselves. She is loving and always got us out of tough jams when needed. 🙂
My mom is my best friend. She has always given me advice throughout my life & stood by me even when I didn’t take that advice. Letting me make mistakes and learn how to overcome them has taught me so many life skills. I’m a better person because of her guidance and love. Happy mother’s day to all the mothers out there!
I love these cutters. I am just starting out learning to decorate cookies. (Mine have been naked for years;-). Your site has been a great resource for ideas and techniques! Thanks for all the tips!
Like some of the others, my mom has passed. She always gave of herself and centered her efforts on family. But I still see her smiling eyes, and can hear her tell me “just brush your hair, put on some lipstick, get out in the sunshine, and you’ll feel better” when I was feeling low. She was right. I pass on as much of her sweet wisdom and humor to my daughters as I possibly can. Will always miss her.
So happy I found out about your site! Just purchased my first cutters from you and are in the process of decorating cookies that I baked using them! I WILL be ordering more!
Unfortunately, I do not have anything positive to say about the woman that gave birth to me. She is the complete opposite to your mom. You are very lucky and blessed to have a mother who loves you unconditionally. Happy Mother’s Day!
Miss my mother, She passed away when I was only 10. She always loved me unconditionally. The best was that we slept together, my father had passed away when I was 2 and with 4 children in the house (tiny) there was no room for me so I always slept in their room and once out of the crib slept with her. Can’t wait to see her again one day in heaven 🙂 the ironic thing is she passed away on Mother’s Day 44 yrs ago at the age of 44 😦
My mother is amazing, she has spend her entire working life trying to make the World a better place 🙂
My mom has inspired me with her creativity since I was a young child. Growing up I remember watching her embroider, sew clothes for my siblings and myself, cross stitch and refinish furniture. No project ever seemed too big or small. She encourages me, supports me in all I do. I love you mom! mom Happy Mother’s Day!
In her own way, I know my mother loves me.
My mom has always been there when I needed help with the kids or any other favors in life. She is always willing to help out with me and my siblings.
My Mom is by far my rock. We may not always see eye to eye on certain things, but then again, apples don’t fall far from the tree! Our family has faced many challenges throughout her life, and even in our darkest hours, she has been the glue that held everyone else together. This Mother’s Day, I salute not only my own Mother, but all those other Moms out there making a difference every day. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! Love you so much…I truly don’t know what I’d do without you.
These are completely awesome. I love the designs!
This will be my third Mothers Day without my mom and I miss her especially as I’m meeting what would have been her very first great grandchild. She was always all about family. Family first … and last. I love that lesson she instilled in me.
my mother is my biggest support. She’s my friend, my teacher, my nurse … my mother is everything. Thanks Karen.
Mom taught me my love of most things and how to love people, (just not what they always do) My love of baking has been instilled from a very young age, we always worked together in the kitchen, we both have a love of cookie cutters. LOL And now that we live with mom again it would be lovely to bake together again, when she is up to it. Until then I will bake and let her enjoy.
I love this cutters and realy need this 🙂 so pic me :)!
Hello! What great cutters.. I would love to be entered into the giveaway.. That’s if it’s open to UK fans? I really struggle finding frame and fancy cutters as they are not widely available. Ive managed to get 2 in 3 years!
With regards to my mum (or mom as my American friend keeps correcting me) I was adopted at 18 months old so need I say more? She (and my dad) have given me everything! X
What lovely cutters!
My mom is always there for us. For me, my sisters and our families, no matter what else is going on. She’s there to talk to and to support us and she’s our biggest fan. Even mine, though she doesn’t really like sweet things hahaha.
I NEED THEM! I NEED THEM! PLEASEEEEE PLEASEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
She’s just my mom and that’s why I love her!!!
I love my mom for all the little things she does for me. She is the best!!
My mom is the best because she believes that I can do anything. That belief has made me achieve so many things.
me encantan los nuevos cortadores!!!
I couldn’t have started my cake business with out my mother. She’ll stay up till 2am with me when I have huge orders to complete, gives orders out for me when I have to be in 2 places at once. And when I have a huge pile of dirty dishes she’ll get them done 🙂
My mum died 9 years ago and every mother´s day I feel the loss more than any time. I miss you so much mum. I wish we had more time together and I wish you saw sweet little kids. You would be very proud of us. I love you so much.
My mom has so hard during her entire life and sacrificed so much for her family. She is selfless beyond measure!
Teniamoci stretta al cuore la nostra mamma ❤ perché di mamma c'è ne una sola ❤
I LOVE my MOM! Shes always there for all her children.
I love my mom- she has always been there for me. She also reminds me- OFTEN- that she will gladly take any of the booboo’s, broken, or extras from my cookie platters!! I would love! A set of these cutters!!!
My mom passed in 1984…she was only 58.. I will be running in Race for the Cure this Sunday in Pittsburgh in her memory !
I love how my mom always knows what to say to make me feel better after a bad day. She is amazing!
I love you!!!!!
My mom is going to get some sunshine this weekend with all my cookie ideas from your blog. I love your newsletter too. Thank you so much.
My mom passed a few years ago, i really miss her smile. She was very liberating for her time. Grew up during the depression and became a Marine during WWII.
I have the square and rectangle plaque cutters and I absolutely love them! It would be awesome to win these!!!
My mom is an example of someone who is always giving to others.
My Mom has always been my best supporter. She was always giving and taught me many things. She passed away this past January and I will miss not cooking dinner for her this Mother’s Day.
I love your new cutters almost as much as I love my mom. Both are awesome!!
These came at a perfect time! I am wanting to give a special invitation to some people and these will work perfect ! Can’t wait to get them.
Such creative uses. Love the design with the ribbon roses.
Wonderful expressive cutters for any occasion..
Whooo Hoooo. Can’t wait to see what is coming
down the track. Happy Mother’s Day everyone.
My mom always taught me to love and enjoy everything, but to own my “stuff” not to let it own me. She’s gone now and I think of those wise words often.
Your new cutters are very versatile. Thanks for the giveway, you are always so generous. I think of Spring Fling every time I use my boy or girl cutter.
My mom is now an angel in heaven. She was a fantastic mom and my best friend. She loved life and gave us five children a wonderful life even though father was not around much. She so enjoyed me making desserts and new recipes with her. I miss her dearly.
There are so many cute designs that could be made with these cutters! I hope I win! Thanks!
My mom is the best cooking, awe-inspiring, most fun-having, coolest biker bitch that I have ever known. She supports my life and what I do and doesn’t make me apologize for it. Without her I wouldn’t be where I am today!
An Adult Orphan…..That’s how I and a lot of my friends, (The Senior Brigade 65 & Over) feel about losing our Moms. My Mom would be astonished to know how our world has changed for the good and not surprisingly some bad. Modern medicine is keeping us healthier, and we are sharing more with others. I still tell my Mom about the amazing way God has provided for all just as she told me when I was younger. Your Mom listens and loves to here how you’re doing, so tell this Mother’s Day !!! God Bless All Mothers.
My mom is always encouraging me! She is my number one cheerleader, and is always there for me. She was in a serious accident almost two years ago, and we nearly lost her. She is a fighter though, and is doing great. I am so glad . . . I don’t know what I would do without her.
I don’t have a relationship with my mother but my grandmother was the most fantastic woman I have ever known! She taught me to be kind and forgiving of people and to laugh every day – she was always laughing and happy. She is gone now and I miss her tremendously. These cookie cutters are wonderful and I would love to add them to my collection 🙂
I love that my mom can do ANYTHING. From keeping bees to making her own maple syrup, and literally, everything in between, she can do it. What an inspiration…. My dad, well, not so much–I guess that’s why he married her. 🙂
My Mom has always taught me to be better than I think I can. I think she’s the best because she’s also taught me how to pass along traditions to my kids (no matter how hokey I thought they were growing up!). Therefore, my kids get X and O shaped bacon on Valentine’s Day with pink milk & pink buttered toast; the Leprechaun wreaks havoc at St. Patrick’s Day; they get to bang on pots & pans at midnight on New Year’s; etc… But the best tradition of all? Passing along her cookie recipes!
Love the new cutters..would be great to win.
My mom is amazing… she’s one of my best friends in the whole world and I can tell her anything without fear of judgement or {disapproval- for the most part}. She’s so encouraging and has always been there for me no matter what. And not only all that, but I think she’s part super-woman; she’s always been a great mother while maintaining a full-time job and basically a full-time job at home, and let’s face it, that’s really tough and not fair to the women out there! But she’s done it all along!
Love, love, love these cutters! My mom has become one of my dearest friends. I love that we can have a great time, and great conversation doing the everyday things like cooking dinner or doing dishes. She’s also my biggest fan. She always believes in me even when I don’t always believe in myself.
My mom died suddenly at age 52, but she was a wonderful mom. She was always there for us and loved to make special days even more special. It’s been many years, now, but I will always miss her terribly.
I lost my Mom when I was a teenager, but because of her great influence that has only strengthened me and inspired me to be more like her. As I turn 60 next week, the importance of the small things– mailing a card to say you’re thinking of someone, Skyping with my out of state grand baby, even making just the right cookie with just the right cookie cutter — are all ways she showed how to selflessly make life better for others. I still love you, Mom! Happy Mothers Day to anyone who cares for others, whether they’ve given birth or not.
I got my love of cooking from my mom! She was an excellent cook but not lives in a nursing home! The cutters are gret and would love to have them for my collection!
My mom is always there for you, she always gives her all to help someone and is beyond generous. She is extremely supportive of me and my desire to decorate cakes and cookies by teaching myswelf. I love my mom!
My grandmother was my greatest inspiration. She taught me everything I know about baking. She instilled me me a strong work ethic. I miss her so much.
My mom has always been there for me through thick and thin
My grandma was the best. She never had to give me any toys or take me places to let me know how special I was. We spent alot of time in the kitchen around the dinning room table together making dinner, supper, cookies, sewing, looking at pictures, playing cards. There is a every cute picture of me around 3yrs old stand on a chair helping Grandma make cookies after she had curled my hair. From the grin on our faces it is clear that we were having fun. She was a farmers wife and a Mother of 9 and a Grandmother of 25, each and everyone of us held a special place in her heart. Her door was always open and everyone was welcome. Love ya Grandma!
I am always amazed my the endless energy my mom has, even at 85. Great new cutters, thanks for the wonderful giveaway.
I have the best mom in the world may God keep hrr healthy for many years.
My Mom was a very strong woman but in a silent way. She managed to raise four children when her husband died in their early fifties and then again when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at 80 and lived until 85 with this horrible disease. She showed me that you have the strength to do and survive anything and that family is always important.
I love my Mom because she is the person that I admire and respect the most in the whole world. A woman of strength and integrity!
I am so glad I found your website and blog. I am just starting with decorating cookies, and I have a looooong way to go. My cookies aren’t sharp like yours, my icing fades and doesn’t stay shiny, but I am learning and it’s so much fun. My mom passed away in Feb. so this is the first one without her, so it will be strange. She was a strong woman and taught us a lot.
Mamá solo hay una, feliz dia de la madre. Te quiero mucho allá donde estés.
Oh, My mom she is the greatest. She is supportive and encouraging, and she is my biggest decorating fan too!
My mom was in the hospital for 2 weeks recently and I was by her side most of the time. She is doing a little better now, it was so nice being able to do for her for a change helping her up making her comfortable, getting her throw up container, etc. All the things she did for me when I was growing up. She is the best mom ever.
My mom is 94 yrs old, still lives independently and is still in charge! she has lived as a widow for 38 yrs and taken care of all her life until just recently. What a great role model for me, my daughter and my granddaughters. I enjoy doing things for her and often make cookies for her little church groups. She still sings in our church choir and seldom misses a practice or a Sunday morning with her friends.
My MOM means the world to me as she has always been there for me no matter what I have done in life….she has supported me 100% and constantly (to this day) gives me confidence when I am unsure of things. Not only is it Mother’s Day weekend but it is also my Mom’s 70th Birthday. 🙂
I made cut out cookies with my mom for years. She has passed on now to a better place and now my daughters and grand kids always get together to bake and decorate for all occasions. Love your cut out designs.
My mom pass away, when I was a child she introduced me to the wonderful world of baking and teach me many things. I have her recipes and I know my daughter will be wants too in the future.
I love these cookie cutters. No where near as much as I loved my mother which is memories in my heart and mind of so many things. She was a wonderful woman, she was an artist. Had she see how people are making cookies their art paintings. Oh how I miss her.

Love love my mama! She is my best friend!! ❤
I just started doing decorated cookies and I love it. To me its therapeutic for the mind as well as creating edible goodies for my customers. I would love to win some extra cutters to add to my collection I’m starting. I also love the assortment you guys have to offer. I have ordered from you before and have been very satisfied so far 🙂
I am fortunate to have had the best mom anyone could ask for. She was called home when I was a child. I still miss her just as much as ever.
My mom is inspirational, really!! She had never worked and was brave enough to walk away from an unhealthy marriage and step into the working world after a nasty divorce and raise 5 rambunctious boys and 4 no-it-all girls all on her own. My brothers and sisters are all so thankful to have a mother that is so loving, spiritual and dedicated to her family. She is my inspiration.
I am blessed with a mom who is supportive and always there for me. She will always be my mom, but now since we are both adults, we are now ‘friends’ too. It’s great to have both and I know how truly blessed I am!
Just received the large rectangle cutter. Beautiful! Will be using it on a wedding cake this weekend.
There would be no art, music, or dance in the world if were not for mothers! They are our number one fans and the ultimate benefactors. I am thankful to still have my mom and I love sharing my cookies with her as a way to say thank you for all she has done for me.
My mother has always let me be myself and has fought for me to be me. If it weren’t for her I may have been a very different person
My mom…. has helped me in so many ways that I cannot put it into words. She has been a support system for me when I was going back to school, when I was a single mom she helped me with my lil guy in whatever way that she could. She has shown me how to be a Godly lady and what unconditional love is.
I’ve never heard my mom say a negative word about anyone ever. She is a true lady in every way and she has given me quite a legacy to live up to. I not only love her, but I admire and respect her!
I cant imagine my life without my mom. She may seem serious for other people, but I know how caring and loving she is. Her name’s Mara, she became a mother almost 18 years ago (obviously my age) and I always try to make Mothers Day perfect for her, once she’s the most perfect and beautiful woman I know.
My mother taught me and my three sisters to love each other and other. I LOVE you mama!
My mom has amazing patience. I don’t remember her ever getting mad at me when I had a bad attitude. As a mom of young kids now, I wish I had patience like that!
I’m so excited about the new cutters!! Happy Mothers Day!!
My mom has taught me so much about how to handle the sticky situations life throws at you
I get my insatiable curiosity and urge to try new things from my mom 🙂
I just got own plaques from your shop. And I really love it! And now, new shape!!! I must got these! Thank you for making new cutters!
I forget telling you about my mom… my mom is always encourage me !! I think I can call she is my best friend!!
My mom was the most generous person I have ever known, and she loved me sacrificially. Twelve years have gone by since I lost her, no one ever replaces your mom, and I miss her.
Karen, I am so glad I found your site several years ago! I have never been disappointed with anything I’ve purchased, and I love the packaging and the quick delivery. You guys are awesome!
I started decorating cookies about 5 years ago, and my mom is one of my biggest fans. She always encourages me and brags to her friends on Facebook. I may be 44 years old, but she’s still “hanging my artwork on the fridge”. I love her and am so grateful to have her in my life.
My Mom has always been there for me and she transmitted me her love of baking 🙂
Yes please! My did the best she could for us even when she struggled.
My mom’s a ball-buster. She loves me and encourages me and my sisters, but she’s not afraid to tell us we’re not being smart about things, whether it be life choices or haircuts 🙂
Hi Karen, love the new cutters and I can’t wait to get a set! My mom is so wonderful!. She’s a great encourager! Even when I have baking disasters, she will never agree how bad it is and always push me to try again and even be my guinea pig on all my culinary creations. She’s a fabulous and creative person with a wonderful since of design! I have always wanted to grow up and be just like her! I can’t fill those shoes, but I can admit I come a little bit close and she is so proud of me. She’s a super grandmother/great grandmother as well. I thank God daily for chosing her as my mom. Happy Mother’s Day Karen! Many Blessings!
Love the new cutter Karen!! I can see a lot of different projects I can do with these!! Love the baby announcement one!!
I would love to enter your contest to win the cutters.

My mom was the ultimate economist. She could make “something” out of nothing. Her ability to see value in just about anything was something I had always treasured about her. I miss her daily.
My Mom is gone now and I miss her every day. I do have lots of people in my life that are amazing Moms and some that are not technically Mothers but mother people around them that need it. I try to let them know they are doing a terrific job!
My Mom has passed. She was our strength, family was her main specialty and she held us all together. We honor her by always being there for each other. Laugh at our memories of her and thus always keeping her in our lives. Also striving to be as great as her as we can.
I just love those cutters, I can only think of the many beautiful things to make with them. You are right, let’s just allow the imagination fly! I love my mum so much even when she is no longer with us. She was not a baker, but she always made sure we had the most delicious cakes for our birthdays. She would be so proud to know I love baking and would have engulfed anything I made. Memories are with me everyday, and more than once I think to myself: “I hope she is proud to see me performing the role of mother and housewife the way she once dreamed!” Happy Mothers Day to all of you ladies out there!
Karen, me encanta la cocina gracias a mi madre y los buenos momentos de mi infancia que pasaba junto a ella preparando dulces deliciosos, ella era la persona más buena que he conocido, y espero que desde el cielo nos vea.
Un beso enorme
My mom taught me many things,but the most important is simply to love…
Mimi
So happy to have found your website! I see many many cookie cutters that will soon be added to my collection! Thank you for such an assortment at such fantastic prices! m
I just got in my order of the square and rectangle plaque cutters…these are so awesome! What I love about my mom….I love that she’s always there to lend an ear and give me some sort of advice. She’s the easiest person to talk to and I love that we have that openness with each other. Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms!!
I’ve been wanting to try out plaque cutters. They are so fun!
Our mums are always the number one but in my case its true!,,Thanks for the giveaway we have missed your posts Karen
My mom has always been supportive and helped me find my way.
Yay new cutters!!!!!!!!! My mom would meet us at the door after school with fabulous homemade treats…I had an idyllic childhood
I first started baking with an Easy Bake Oven ! My mother taught me how to bake!
My special “MOM” is my daughter. Seeing her with her 2 boys just makes me so proud. She has a full time job yet finds all the time to go to ball games, track, plays, etc- & keep house and hubby happy.
When I was younger, my mom would let me lick her fingers after she finished mixing cookies with her hands–way, WAY before the age of KitchenAids. Kinda gross now, but as a kid, I loved it.
My mom is always there for me…no matter what!!! 🙂
My mom provided me with the memory of a very special birthday cookies she made for me and that laid the foundation of my desire to make decorated cut-out cookies for friends and family members decades later. Love you Mom!
My mom would REALLY want to see what I could do with these fabby cookie cutters!
Awesome new shapes! I could really use some plaque cookie cutter! 🙂
My mom is my grandmother. She practically raised me. I love her so much she is my inspiration. If it wasn’t for her love and caring I don’t think I’d be where I am today.
My Mom is always there for me!
Love your site! It’s inspired me to start a small cookie business of my own.
My mom was my best friend. She became a widow at age 36 when my dad died, I was 11 and my brother only 5. Dad left a lot of debt when he died. Mom had very little education so getting a job was difficult in Malaysia in the 70s. She managed to learn to trade stocks without any capital and by the time she passed away in 2005, she was worth over a million dollars. I really admired my mom’s business acumen and the decisions she had to make to ensure that her children was well taken care of and provided the best she could. I missed her so much, it doesn’t get any better but I know one day I will see her again in heaven. My passion in baking comes from her. I love you mom!
My step-mom treats me like her daughter, something my actual mother never did. She gave me the love I was denied as a child and I will always love her for her generous heart.
I love these cookie cutters. I recently made a template for a plaque cookie cutter. I could so use all these. Please Please Please pick me. 🙂
I learned a lot from my mother. I NEED these cutters…PLEASE!
I’m new to cookie decorating but love it already! These cutters would be amazing! I hope everybody has a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Love the scallop cutter!
My mom is my grandmother 🙂 My grandmother raised me since I was 2 months old and means the world to me. Mother’s Day is bitter sweet because my grandmother is no longer here in the flesh but in heaven. She passed away at home in 2004 at 99 1/2 years young 🙂 All of my memories of my grandmother are beautiful! When I shed a tear for her is because the memories are so sweet and they lift me up. I remember her teaching me to cook, pretend playing with me ( we had lots of tea parties but with real cookies), she would stay with me until I would fall asleep because I was afraid of the dark. For most of my young life I slept with her. Even as a teenager I would wake up in the middle of the night and go into her room and lay down beside her. Not once did she ever push me away or tell me that I needed to grow up and sleep alone. Although I had a relationship with my mother we had lots of ups and downs. I still love my mom but it is one of those relationships you have to keep at a distance so it won’t be toxic to your life. I also want to say that there are many men out there who are single dads who are amazing fathers and mothers. God Bless moms here and in heaven 🙂
My Mom died when I was just 12, but she taught me to follow my dreams. With three kids and a husband in the military, she pursued her dream and was almost finished with medical school when she was killed in a car accident. I still miss her every day and wonder what Mother’s Days would be like if she were still here. Heaven is all the brighter with her there, I am sure! Love the cookie cutters, by the way. I can imagine the possibilities….
I’m so blessed to have a great mom. She has always worked so hard and been there for all the family. Her love of baking has inspired mine. Unfortunately she’s now 76 and suffers from Parkinson’s so she doesn’t do it anymore. However she loves the cookies that I make and gets so excited to see what they look like. I’m working on some new ones for Mother’s Day now.
Love the new cutters, especially the scalloped ones.
I love all your new cutters.
Love your new cutters!!! Pleeeeease can I have them?? 🙂
My mom is very special to me, she has taught me to be a fighter. She is my example of perseverance and has always been there for me. God has blessed me with her and I just pray for continuous health over her.

too cute
My mom is no longer with us, but my daughters and I are continually thanking her for teaching us to be organized.
Awwww you make me cry. My Mon was my bigest fan. I have been a florist for 40 years. Had to retire because of my health MS and cancer. I started doing cakes to have something to do. I lost my Mom 13 1/2 years ago. I truely miss her so much. I can think of her and still cry like a baby.
My mom taught me about patience and unconditional love.
Ohhhh how wonderful! I would love love love to be the proud owner of these! I just shopped your site for the first time last week and was so pleased with selection and delivery time. Thank you for the little sprinkles you included with my new cutters and PME tips. I ordered the square and rectangle plaques and did not even see these new plaques. So cute!
ps…It’s still hard for me to talk about my Mom. I lost her to cancer 6 yrs ago. She was too young (53) and we were super close! My best friend, best teacher, and my biggest fan ❤
My mom always encouraged me to follow the art that’s in my heart. Fingers crossed, I love these cutters!
We’ve missed you Karen! Happy Mother’s Day from this mom to you.
My mom gave me the gift of unconditional love. Such a rare gift. And thank you Karen for your generous giveaway – your new plaques are really neat shapes!
I love my mom because she is eccentric and unique but has never been afraid to show it!
My mom passed away about 5 yrs ago, but what I loved most about her was her laugh…esp when it was spontaneous! She also had the ability to help soothe & calm things down for me when things in life got hard to deal with…all without even knowing it. Being around her always helped me to put things in perspective & realize that things could really get worse. Love & miss her dearly.
My mom has been gone for almost 10 years now and I think of her every day. Unquestionably the most valuable thing she ever taught me was the magic of unconditional love. :o)
happy mothers day to you all
My mother is full of love for me since day one. She is also my close friend. I know it’s luck who you get for your parent, and I am both lucky and blessed. My mother taught me to bake, we sculpted cakes and baked cookies and tarts when I was a teenager. Now I make most of the cookies, but I always wrap some extras for her to share. And she still complains that she shouldn’t eat them because they are fattening, but she eats and enjoys them anyway. Even at 79, my mother is still fun and I am proud to be her daughter. Happy Mother’s Day!
My Mom passed away 25 years ago, she was the best. Then I met my husband and his mom became not just my Mother-in-law, but one of my dearest friends. She is my Mom now. I love her dearly.
I lost my mom 3 months before my first child was born. I miss her still–almost 18 years later. I hear her in my laugh and remember what a joyful and loving mom she was.
Hi there, and Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there, myself included! ;). I’m a mom to two boys, cj & ryan. My mom passed away in ’99…too young, too soon. My other mom, who was my aunt, passed away a year and a half ago….she pretty much was our everything when my folks divorced. So, the only mom figure left in my life is my mother in law whom I love dearly. I’ve been a baker for most of my life… Just love to create new designs and ideas in my creations. I use cookie cutters in my cake decorating. It’s always great to experiment with new designs! Thank you for giving people like me a chance to use our imaginations with your cutters! Dianne. 😉
I love all of your exclusive cookie cutters, if I don’t win I would order them
My mother never thought I never paid much attention to her when she was in the kitchen. Now days she has been able to see just how much I learned from her and thanks to Karen Cookies and another great blogger I have been showing off my passion for baking and decorating sugar cookies 🙂 super excited about about all the possibilities. Jenny
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there. My mother is my best friend,
thank you for your generous giveaway ,your new plaques are really lovely. Haapy mother´s day!
My Mom always made me laugh. She had a sense of humor that was way over the top! She passed away in 2002. I miss her so much!! She always was so proud of all my baking. She would say,”how in the world can you bake and decorate like you do? You are nuts!” Love you Mom! Miss you so!!
My mom I is loved by all who meet her. She would always put herself second. She is friendly, outgoing and kind.
I REALLY LIKE THESE, MY GIRLS AND I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THESE, WE LIKE TO BAKE MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF COOKIES.
Would love to add them to my collection of cutters.
My mom is my best friend and biggest supporter. I love her more than she knows.
My mom is actually my sister. I didn’t have much of a mother figure in my younger years. I remember my sister doing our hair for school pictures. Making sure we brushed our teeth and were clean when we left for school. I love her dearly and in my heart and mind she is my mom as well as my sister and my friend. And on Mother’s Day I make sure I remember her.
I use the other plaque cutters from your store so often. I’d love to add these to my collection.
My Mom has always been there for me. When times are good she shares my joy, when times are bad she is a foundation that keeps me grounded and focused on what’s most important.
I love all the different collections of cookie cutters you offer. I’ll have to get another box to add these to my collections.
My Mom is always in touch with the latest news: national, local and family news. She has always been one to ask the big questions and to care about the world, our culture, far beyond just the here and now. She is always supportive of her family’s adventures, she stood by me through thick and thin – what more could one ask of a Mother? Happy Mother’s Day to ALL Mothers, and to My Mom:)
Love the shape of these new cookie cutters.
My mom is gone now, way too early in her life. I miss her tremendously! She was always positive and my biggest cheerleader for whatever I decided I had to do. She made my brother and I feel so special just by being with her. Happy Mother’s Day Mom!
Also, these cutters are beautiful!
Gonna have to order these too! ;0)
Love the cutters!
I need a plaque to complete my cookie trays…love your site!!!
My Mother in law is the most caring Grandmother, and support system! She has taught me so much about being a loving caring mother and wife.
My mom is kind. Never loud, never rude, always kind and gentle. I want to be more like her ❤
My mom has passed on to be with God….but I can still hear her everyday telling me what a great mother I have become to my own two kids and how she misses seeing them and my husband and I. Love you mom and miss you….Happy Mother’s Day in heaven!!!
Love them!
My mom is better than my real mom. She dresses me up on holidays and doesn’t pressure me because she knows I have issues when stressed. She is very warm and kind. HAPPY DAY MOM ! ! Archie
She takes me everywhere and shows me all sorts of places so I may be exposed to many different things and experiences. I will be a diverse and cultured young lady. Thanks so much !!
Those new cutters are adorable.
I love my mom! She is the best. She is my best friend & I can tell her anything. Few people in the world give unconditional love like a mother does (:
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mommies out there!!!!
She makes amazing cookies and I would like to see her have even more to create. Always had a loving heart and always showed this so much by her actions. Love you lots !!!
Would love to own these fabulous cutters!
I can’t imagine life without my mom…The older I get I realize just how much in many ways I am so like her…when I was a teen no one ever could have made me believe my mom and I would be as close as we are today. Have a blessed Mother’s Day!
What I love most about my Mom? She’s always ready to have a good time, she’ll try anything and she loves and encourages me more than anyone I know. She also drives me nuts – but I make her crazy too – so I think we’re both even on that front! Love you Mom!
Id love to win the cookie cutters!’
The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree! My mother is my best friend. I Love You Mommy!
My mom always had a homemade dinner on the table while holding down a full time job and raising 5 kids. I get my love of good food from her.
Karen and Mike, I Love your new cutters and also your ideas!! Thanks for sharing!
I’m grateful for my mom because she’s always there for me and taking care of things. She puts everyone first and deserves a medal for all she does. Love you Mom!
PS: Great giveaway~
My mom helps make the world go ’round. :). She’s sweeter than any baked good! lol
Happy Mother’s Day to you too!
Love your company and great customer service. My mother is one if a kind. I love her so much.
These are really cool!
But, God sent me a blessing when he gave me a Mother-Inlaw! She has always been there for me through tough times, she helps with my children and spoils them and me rotten! My favorite thing though would have to be how well she listens to me and her hugs, best ever! Thank you for this opportunity! 🙂
Lightly speaking, my Mom and I unfortunately don’t get along well.
I love these cutters. Thank you for all the ideas. Wishing all Moms a Happy Mother’s Day!
My mom is no longer with us but, she was the sweetest person…she was always kind and generous to everyone around her. Wishing all the Mothers a Happy Mother’s Day!
I love your blog. I just started following you. Learning a lot! Thanks so much for sharing. Happy Mothers Day!!!
Not one day goes by that I don’t think about my mom, who now looks over us from heaven. She guided us into the fine adults we are today. I love you mom!
These new shapes are exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m so excited to try them out!
My mom was taken from me when I was just 16 years old, but I know that she has been watching me from heaven and is probably pretty pleased with how I (and my 2 sisters and brother) turned out. As a mom myself, I look forward to sharing many more years with my children than I had with my mom, and a big part of our time together is baking goodies. My daughter (and son for that matter) really enjoy our cookie baking weekends and these new cutters would be a perfect addition to our ever growing collection. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, and thanks, Karen, for your inspiring videos and tips!
My mom passed away 6 years ago and I still miss her terribly! She is the one who inspired me to cook and to enjoy my time in the kitchen! I am planning on passing this on to my granddaughter who is 2. Happy Mother’s Day to all!!
My mom taught me many craft skills starting when I was young. One thing she didn’t really do much was decorate sugar cookies. Even so, I credit my attention to detail and love of baking and decorating sugar cookies to her. She taught me the diligence and patience with other crafts which one needs to decorate sugar cookies.
I got my crafting ability from my mom 🙂
My Mom taught me how to fight back and how to coordinate colors!
Love the new cutters!!!
I love my moms encouragement to follow my “cookie decorating” dream… Her support means so much! Happy Mother’s Day to all you mommy’s out there!!!
My mom is…..or was……an amazing woman. She passed away two weeks ago. She was more than my mom. She was my best friend. Her life was spent caring for others. As a young girl she was a surrogate mother to her siblings. As a nurse she cared for patients like family. As a mother she was exceptional. She offered me guidance, protected me, was my biggest cheer leader and greatest fan, taught me compassion, showered me with love, was my best friend and confidant, and taught me how to be a good mother. Every person who knew her has a story to tell about how special and loved she made them feel. It is an honor to call her my mom.
I love my mom with all my heart! I never knew how much I appreciated her until I got married and realized how much she had taught me about being a good wife. This Mother’s Day is even more special. We just told her that’s we’re expecting her first grandchild in December! I just hope that I can be half the mom she is!
I love the new cutters and would love to win them.
My mom is an inspiration. She is 78 years old and does yoga and aerobics classes almost everyday. What’s more, she is always trying new things – learning Italian, quilting, knitting, and now upholstery! What an excellent example she sets for her children and grandchildren.
My mom always told cheered me when I started anything new, and never had any doubts that I could achieve anything I wanted in life even if I seriously questioned it
The thing I love most about my mom is hearing her voice come out of my mouth!! Now that she has passed on, it’s a joy to see her when I look in the mirror and flex my voice just so. 🙂
My mom left when we were both way too young – what I always knew and felt about my mom was that when I was with her I was safe – and that’s what I most remember the last time I saw her. Gone for nearly 30 years now I realized as a young child that getting her undivided attention as the youngest of 8 siblings was often hard to come by. But I could get it when I helped out in the kitchen, and by far, my best memories still are the times I spent with her there – baking and canning… I can still smell the warmth and love she brought to everything we baked and every meal she made. I’m closest to her when I’m in the kitchen and will always feel a bit cheated for not having had more time …
wow!!! so many ppl entered already! karen kudos to you, that should say it all!!! so many people luv your website and your great ideas!
my mom is selfless giving, and loving of all of us kids and anyone else out there in need of anything. People constantly stop me and tell me how much my mom did for them in an endless amount of ways! mom you make us proud!!!
I love everything about my mom! She introduced me to baking & cooking when I was a little girl, and I can’t thank her enough for opening me up to my true passion, and teaching me everything she knows in the kitchen!
My Mom is always my biggest fan!
Happy Mothers Day to all wonderful moms.
Thank you for great giveaway!
I think of my wonderful mom everyday. I miss her and baking with her, but I continue to enjoy using the great shaped cookie cutters. Keep up the great job!!
Really fun cutters ………
have to get some
My mom is the best! she is always supporting every thing i do… and she has been a great rolemodel of mother, woman and friend! i love her very very much 🙂
Definitely consider that which you stated. Your favorite
reason seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to
take note of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while folks consider concerns that they just don’t recognise about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and defined out the entire thing without having side-effects
, people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
Thank you
