In my breakfast room I have a thrifted dresser where I store all of my cookie cutters.  Originally wood toned, I found this piece for $27 and painted it in white with gold hardware.  Because it was spring  when I took this photo, we had baby seeds starting up on top.  Usually I decorate this surface with seasonal items.

I like being able to store my cookie cutters in the drawers because I can group them by season/ holiday.  This makes them easier to find when I want to use them and also helps to identify what they are - have you ever mixed in a witch profile with your Christmas and been like "What is wrong with this Santa???"  Nope, me either 😆

Note:  Sometimes I make edible foods and a lot most of the time I make fake bakes.  If the fake bake is using non toxic materials (like salt dough) then I'm ok with using the cutters in the post.  But if I'm going to use something that isn't food safe (like resin), then I keep those cutters/ molds out in the craft studio.


You can see more of the breakfast room here, the craft studio here
and the before and after of the dresser here.

Here I have a bin of letters and numbers, as well as a cookie dough press.  I have never actually used a cookie dough press, but for some reason I feel it necessary to keep!  So needed in fact, that I actually have another in my craft studio - just in case I ever decide to experiment with some fake bakes using non food safe materials.

I completely forgot that I even had this collection of teddy bears 😲

An assortment of geometric shapes.  
I'm thinking about creating a star shaped tree tower with the graduates star cutouts, but haven't committed.

Easter and spring.

Summer beach theme.

Summery shapes. 
I see my lobster is out of place here, he's supposed to live with the beach collection.

Winter

Has anyone used the stamp like presses that you can see at the top (white plastic snowflakes)?  What is the best cookie dough for this type of press?  I tried salt dough once for some fake bakes, and it would not come free from the press!

Fall

I keep my pumpkin shapes in the fall section, but they can be used for Halloween as well.  Just add a face with some Icing and you've got a jack-o-lantern.
