Welcome US customers
For many years we offered beautiful replicas of springerle cookie molds from a well known Swiss supplier.
Because of serious problems with prompt delivery we lost customers and money by filling backorder's.
For that reason we decided to start our own line of molds which will be manufactured in Germany by TECCEM and to discontinue our old inventory. We are purchasing antique original molds. We also asked wood carvers to create new motives for us. We reject to produce and sell pirated copies of our previous selection. However, we will take legal actions against everybody who copies and sells our molds.
The following picture shows some of the molds which have been carved by the Thuringian company "Dukasi" for us. They are already included in our shopping cart and more new designs are added continiously.
The categories "On Sale" and "Repaired Molds" are provided for the future. We have many molds from our previous supplier which are chipped and wait to be repaired.
We are also looking for carvers in Canada and the USA who can help us to offer again a great variety of molds which we will copy and manufacture in Germany. This will help my son and his company to secure jobs and - very important - the business stays in the family.
Our molds can not only be used for making artfull cookies, they are also suitable for artwork.
Step by step we will add new molds to each category including rolling pins which are completely sold out at this time.
Please enjoy our on-line offer of the finest replicas of cookie molds.
If you want to create art cookies, Springerle, wonderful and unique items out of wax, marzipan, clay, paper maché, ceramic or even salt dough - our molds may guide you to a new hobby or even some side income. Paint them and participate on local art shows or baking sales.

Big Sale, starting July 22, 2008 - 50% discount on all Swiss made molds!

In order to make room for our own line of molds, we sell all Swiss made molds with a discount of 50%. You recognize them by the item number which does not contain the letters "SM". We will not change the prices in our shopping cart, but the discount will be applied in the invoice which we will send you together with the order confirmation by e-mail.
Most of the Swiss cookie molds are replicas from originals owned by collectors or museums. It took many years to find and contact the owners of these originals from all over Europe and North America.
Some of the originals are still displayed in museums. After locating the owners of the originals, permission to copy them also had to be obtained. This was a very long and costly process. Nothing has been pirated!
In order to make the molds look as authentic as possible, a hand casting process and a very special material is used.

A painted surface gives the molds a wood like look.
Our own line of molds.
Because of the stronger US dollar we could lower our prices!
Only none poisonous material is used for the molds made by Dukasi in order not to pose any health hazards during the production process and for the user. It is a ceramic like material. Food grade shellac is used as a paint to prevent sticking of the dough to the mold and to protect it against water when cleaning it. Please do not soak them in water!
Please understand that all this work will make your cookie mold a very unique item that you should treat with the required care.
During the production start of our molds we did many improvements, such as a changed hanging device and a weight reduction which will be introduces soon.
Just click at the category and follow the instructions. If you still have problems read our detailed help information by clicking at "Shopping Cart Help".
To allow you to find the mold easier that you are looking for, we have divided the web site in different categories. Naturally it is sometimes very difficult to decide for the right category of a mold. We apologize for any wrongdoing.
Please be aware hat we had to reduce all the pictures of our Springerle to a certain size.
For that reason they are in a different scale.
