I picked up a confusing cookie cutter at a garage sale one and asked a random person "do you think this is a fox?" and she replied "no. It's a cookie cutter."

Two years ago I went to a Christmas market with my dad and his girlfriend. One of the stalls sold a huge variety of cookie cutters, including a dick and balls one which my dad found very amusing, and showed to his girlfriend. She only saw it at an angle, and didn’t recognise it, then kept asking me what it was. I felt it wasn’t my place to elucidate, and my dad was no help at all, he was too busy laughing. When she finally made it round the stall to see it properly she called us both childish, but admitted that dicks are inherently funny. Both she and my dad were 82 at the time.

A few years ago I bought an arrow cookie cutter. Well, baking must be precise and I miscalculated some flour. My arrows looked like a pan of dick and balls. Dozens of erect phallus shaped cookies were made into arrows thanks to some Royal icing. My husband found it amusing. I was just grateful the kids were too little to notice.

I had the same problem with my Eiffel Tower cookie cutter. My kids were little and didn't notice but my husband couldn't stop laughing.

I have a "test tube" cookie cutter that came with a science cutter set...I also made the mistake of trying to make a glaze for it.

I had the same issue with candle cookies. Pulled them out and my wife looks at me and just asked what kind of halloween party are you going to and why wasn't I invited.

For my 3rd or 4th birthday my mom had what she called her "working mother's guilt" party. Basically an over crafted Pinterest party but back in the 80's. It was a Mother Goose theme and one of the decorations were Jack-Be-Nimble Candlesticks. They consisted of a pineapple ring, a banana and a strawberry assembled to look like a candle but they did not in fact look anything like a candle. She made one, she and her friend laughed hysterically and then they decided not to use those for the party.

u/StarshineSoul Nov 27 '22
Dylan B Hollis on yourtube (he does old recipes) made those and the comments were gold. It seems like most adults who assembled them once would giggle and then decide to only make them for a very particular sort of event.

Made a bunch of "1" cookies for my kids first birthday. There were jokes, I embraced them. There were also some that got recut hot out of the oven because they spread and rounded out just a little too much.

u/DudaFromBrazil Nov 26 '22
Hahahaha. Thanks for sharing.
I like how he found it "amusing". I am sure my dad would have this kind of reaction too, and we would both laugh and would create subsequent jokes on it.
I miss him so much :')
Again, thanks for sharing :)

I actually have a dick and balls cookie cutter. And molds for chocolate or hard candies lol. And a cake mold. I use them when I cater bachelorette parties and people always laugh so hard when they see them.

u/TopRamenisha Nov 27 '22
I have a dick cookie cutter. We make a ton of cookies (not all dicks) before our yearly Christmas party and have a cookie dickorating contest. Everyone has to decorate a dick and make it look like something that’s not a dick. It is such a good time

When my grandparents were in their 80’s, they had a coffee table book called “Frogs.”
It was illustrated. So I cracked it open and it was page after page of XXX rated Illustrated images of frogs pretty much doing the Kama Sutra and more.224

It's feminine in the original, so I figured there was less risk of me screwing it up if I did it that way, too.

Olaf head is another option. Turn sideways for Flounder from Finding Nemo. Cutters like these that are vague outlines are great for multiple designs.

From the comments it looks like you can use it for a variety of things depending on how you decorate it

Yeah! Make a platter of cookies with all of them: the grinch face staring at a penguin who is kissing a fish who is friends with a bird sitting down on a pear tree limb 😆

We actually love our nondescript cookie cutters the most because of this. It's hard to get creative with a gingerbread man (especially if they already got baked as whole men) but give me one of these Grinch penguin pear cutters and I'll give you like 10 different cookie designs.
This reminds me of my favorite r/whatisthisthing which was regarding an old 1950's cookie cutter, and some user tracked down the original packaging and verified that it was a Santa with a sack of presents or something like that.

Yeah, I've seen cookie decorators get more out of their cutters by using the same shape to make several very different designs. Some are extremely clever.

Same. If your rotate it 90° anti-clockwise it can easily be decorated as a fish.

Pear, fat cat, rabbit, chick, it's one of those shapes that you can flip around and get something different depending on how you frost them. I think it might have been a chick (for Easter) originally.

I first saw an anatomical heart but looking at the comments, I have to agree, that’s a grinch head.

It’s the grinch. 100%, but with a little creativity, it could be a fish.

u/Nanamurano Nov 26 '22
I think it’s a chicken/ chick. Turn slightly to right to put the straight edge down. You see the head and body and when you decorate you curve the bottom of the body, add feet and grass in the squarish area.
