When I discovered Bisk-Art and showed my children what was on offer, we had to exercise serious restraint. They had their aprons on and piping bags out before I could reach for my purse!

Bisk-Art is an Australian business that specialises in hand-crafted biscuit and pastry cutters. The cutters have rolled safety edges, are made of the highest quality tin-plated steel, and will be up to the task of cutting dozens of biscuits for years to come.

What makes Bisk-Art different is the range. Not only do they have hundreds of cutter shapes in designs from roller-skates and palm trees to scotty dogs and babushka dolls, but Bisk-Art custom-make designs. So if you’re having a themed birthday party and it happens that Bisk-Art don’t have a matching cutter in their enormous collection, they’ll make one for you.

Is it just me, or is the prospect of a Kombi van butter cookie really appealing?! Or perhaps brightly iced biscuit lollies? The hands-down winners in our house are the fairy wands and the football set which consists of football- and jersey-shaped cutters so that you can decorate team jumpers (where was this when we were icing tiny football jumpers on gingerbread men for my son’s football-themed seventh birthday party?!).

Also noteworthy are the sets of tools, the sets of construction vehicles, and the baby set of cutters – perfect for iced-treats at your next baby shower.

Cutters range in price beginning at $4 for a single cutter to $18 for sets.
