Love this set! For the price, this is THE set to get. I wish I had started my cookie adventures with these.The set arrived complete and in good condition. I laid them all out and didn't get a single warped one. Yes, as other reviewers have said, these are larger than you think, but for us - that is a good thing. We're actually going to use these to make cookies.With Easter approaching, I had begun my search for cutters when I came across this set. I wanted the tulip, the hopping bunny, the petal flower, and the egg. Sadly, this set doesn't come with a chick, but they are readily available elsewhere. The duck cutter can do in a pinch, but you'd want to "trim" the tail feathers for that baby chick look.I was disappointed to read reviews that said the egg was "pointy", and when I pulled it out of the box I saw exactly what they meant. BUT, taking a piece of bread (yes, realizing dough will be different), I cut one out and to my surprise, it didn't look pointed. (See photo.) If my cookie dough comes out differently, I'll just use a knife to ease any "points". Considering how inexpensive this set is - I'm willing! Lesson learned: You can't really tell a cut from the look of the cutter. ...but I am still very glad I have my comfort-grip egg cutter...even though the price for that ONE cutter would have bought half this box! ;o)As you can see by the photo, these cutters are (just) deep enough for taller cut cookies, but I usually do 1/4" so these are perfect. They just barely cut through a slice of bread, so if you're going to use these for clever sandwiches, plan on cutting all your bread one slice at a time first.The holiday sets are brilliant! Valentine set has the ruffled-edge hearts and various sizes I like and appreciate. Halloween and Christmas are going to be loads of fun! Definitely will use royal icing and flooding techniques for decorating.If you're thinking about using the letter and number cutters for cakes and such, don't. They are too big for that. Invest in a separate set. However, these will make nice two-and-three-bite cookies.If you're just starting out in cookie crafting, definitely get this set. It's a great starter!! Sure wish I had.*Tip: Fridge/freeze your rolled dough before cutting. Will make moving them to the cookie sheet MUCH easier!!Many thanks to the other reviewers who posted photos of the cutters!!!! YOU are the reason I decided to try them. I'm including a photo from the box to help see the duplicates, compare the various sizes, etc.
