Daisy Cookie Platter Cutter Set - Adorable Floral Arrangements

Introducing the Adorable Daisy Chain Cookie Platter Cutter Set

Cookie platters make such thoughtful gifts for any occasion. A beautifully arranged platter of homemade cookies shows someone just how much you care. While circles and squares are classics, unique cookie shapes really take a platter to the next level. If you're looking to wow with your next cookie platter, you need the right cookie cutters. I'm so excited to share my latest custom platter cutter set - the darling Daisy Chain!

This sweet set comes with everything you need to make a showstopping daisy themed cookie platter. Let's take a closer look at what's included in this must-have set for cookie lovers!

Daisy Chain Platter Cutter

The star of this cookie cutter set is the daisy chain platter cutter. This large cutter creates a row of overlapping daisy flowers perfect for arranging artfully on a platter. The daisy chain cutter makes it so easy to quickly cut rows of flowers out of slab icing or chilled cookie dough.

Rather than painstakingly cutting out each individual flower, with one press of this cutter you get a string of six intricately shaped and detailed daisies. Each flower has five petals and a center indentation. The flowers connect together slightly, creating a continuous chain.

By alternating the placement of the daisy chain cutter across your dough or icing slab, you can create beautiful flower arrangements. The overlapping design works great for creating flower wreaths as well. Go for orderly rows or get creative with the placement - either way your platter is sure to impress!

Individual Daisy Cutter

The daisy chain platter cutter creates a gorgeous presentation, but what if you need individual daisy flowers too? That's where the second cutter in this set comes in. An individual daisy flower cutter is included so you can cut solitary blooms.

The individual daisy cutter makes flowers that are the same size and shape as the blooms in the daisy chain. Each flower has five petals and a center indentation just like the chain flowers. Now you can cut single daisies to fill in gaps or decorate the edges of your platter.

Daisy Debosser

To really take your daisy platter to the next level, this set includes a daisy debosser. This tool imprints a daisy design without cutting all the way through the dough. Debossing provides such lovely dimension and detail!

The debosser imprints a single daisy with five petals and a center indentation, matching the cutters. Imagine the possibilities - you can deboss whole daisy fields on a cookie platter for incredible texture. Or deboss daisies in between cut flowers. You can even deboss the centers of cut flowers for extra dimension.

Debossers elevate cookie decorating from a craft to an art. And this daisy debosser was designed specifically to complement the daisy chain platter cutter and individual daisy cutter.

Designing Daisy Cookie Platters

Now that you know exactly what's included in this cookie cutter set, let's talk about how you can put it to use! Here are some ideas to help you design stunning daisy cookie platters:

Spring & Summer Platters

Daisies just scream spring and summer. Their cheerful petals and sunshine centers perfectly capture the bright, happy essence of these seasons. Daisy cookie platters make fantastic gifts for spring birthdays, Easter, Mother's Day, bridal showers, graduations, and more.

For spring, use icing colors like pastel pink, lavender, mint, or pale yellow on your daisies. Accent with buttercream vines, leaves, and smaller flowers like hydrangeas. Nestle Easter eggs between the flowers or add rainbow sprinkles for a playful touch.

For summer, go bold with daisies in vibrant yellow, orange, red. Use royal icing for crisp white daisy centers. Summer fruits like lemons and strawberries also pair perfectly with daisies. Add fruit slice cookies or decorate your daisy cookies with fruit themes using icing.

Autumn Platters

Daisies bring a brightness to arrangements even in fall. Mix white daisy cookies with autumn colors and flavors for a festive touch. Chrysanthemums, maple leaves, acorns, and fruits like apples and pears make excellent complementary cookie shapes.

Fall daisy platters are great for Thanksgiving centerpieces, Halloween cookie exchanges, and back to school treats. Decorate your daisy cutouts with autumn icing colors like orange, red, yellow, and brown. Brush petal tips with food coloring for an ombre effect.

Holiday Platters

Don't retire your daisy platter cutter set for the season just because the holidays are here! Daisies can be just as festive as poinsettias or holly when decorated for Christmas, Hanukkah, and other winter celebrations.

For Christmas, decorate your daisies with red, white, and green icing. A sprinkle of snowy luster dust takes them to the next level. Nestle Christmas tree, stocking, and present cookies in between daisy flowers. Hanukkah daisy platters look festive in royal blue and white.

Of course, the New Year is the perfect excuse for a celebratory daisy platter. Ring in 2024 with black and gold daisies or a rainbow daisy wreath platter. Your friends and family will be thrilled to start the year with your thoughtfully homemade treats.

Birthday Platters

Birthdays are one of the best reasons to pull out your daisy cookie cutter set. What better way to celebrate someone than with a platter of their favorite flowers transformed into cookies?

Customize your daisy platter by decorating with the birthday person's favorite colors and flavors. Top with piped name and age cookies, candles, sprinkles - get creative with your decorating!

For kids' birthdays, daisies decorated as rainbows, unicorns, superheroes make fun cookies. For adults, choose elegant flowers in their favorite color palette. A daisy platter is sure to delight any birthday honoree.
