Greetings!

Long-time lurker here -- so inspired by all the great cookie ideas.

Anyway, I picked up this cookie cutter at the Salvation Army (couldn't pass it up for only a buck) and was wondering if anyone knew what it was. My friends and I had a couple ideas, but I'm hoping someone recognizes it. I haven't seen it at any of the cake supply shops around here.

Thanks!

It is a bird.

Look at the first image you took and imagine you are looking down from above and slightly behind.

Wings on either side, head in the middle and tail behind and bird flying to the left.

I showed it to my family and without hesitation each member said it was a bird on the wing, flying very high and seen from above.

Ghost w/ the sheet flaring out.

I think by the first photo that it looks like a carrot with a bunny chewing it. The carrot is obvious and then the ears and nose near the top right.

My family had no ideas, just mine.

Good Luck. Let us know if you figure it out, it sure is a mystery.

I have very similar cutters of people in yoga poses... but this looks like gymnastis or divers to me......you can do a lot with these depends on where you put you lines...

My first impression was a ballet dancer.

All I see is a bird, too. If I looked first, read second- maybe I'd have another opinion but defintely looks like a bird!

Looks like you got a multi-purpose cookie cutter! Look at all the ideas you can get from it! To me...my first thought was bat-man!

Thanks for the ideas!

Ballet dancer and fairy (both with very long legs, I guess) have been mentioned in my circles. For the top right version, one friend suggested a moose head on the wall. It definitely inspires some creative ideas.

I'm not seeing the fairy's head, maybe a dragonfly?

I got it! Bottom right corner. Its a gun. W/ the cock pulled back

Yes, I agree, the bottom right looks like a gun. The others to me also look like a karate person throwing a kick in the air.

My daughter says the first one looks like a kid pushing a sled.

my first thought was mud flap girl but it doesn't have the bent knees, so girl lying in repose - maybe mermaid.

My other guess is humming bird with furled tounge.

I thought it kind of looked like a pin-up girl posing, like laying/sitting up facing you? Like how it is in the first image.

This cookie cutter is a geographical location, such as a state, or a country, a contanent, possible even an individual county or parish within a state. I actually have a set of California cookie cutters with all the counties. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

I hope this helps.

Is it the state of Delaware?

Check out this site, http://geology.com/state-map/, you should be able to click on each state to see a detailed shape of the state outline and of each county/parish. Also look for diffenent countries. I really suck at geograhpy so I have no idea which state it could be, but allowing for expansion of the dough as it cooks, I would say florida would be a good one to start with.

This is like a litmus test, lol. I wonder what it says about us?

Top left, I see a skier. He's bent way down at the knees, with his elbows bent out behind him. The long skinny part is his skis.

Looks to me like a moose head with out antlers ( top right) looks like his head is on the wall or some thing.....lol just another of many great possibilties!!! looks like you can use this as so many cutters all in one!!! WOW just think 5 or more shapes all for $1 !!! WOW you go girl!

Is it stamped with a name brand or manufacturer? That would be helpful.

If not, do you think it's possibly a handmade one-of-a-kind shape?

a mystery indeed!
This one has me stumped too!

If it's a state it looks like Virginia.

It's a bird it's a plane it's superman!
No idea really lol

Very amusing, reading all the ideas!

Amazing how we all see things so differently.

To me, it could not be anything but a bird and I see this idea has a few other takers, too.

Enjoy your cutter and take your pick of our ideas!
