Stylish Band of Outsiders Cookie Cutters Make Stars and Bells Look Stale

— December 14, 2012 — Lifestyle
Of course, it has more to do with the quality of the recipe than the shape of the oven-baked outcome, yet this set of Band of Outsiders Cookie Cutters brings more of a freshness to dessert. It might be entirely aesthetic, but then that is also a large part of the appeal of holiday treats in general.

Instead of providing silhouettes of Santa, snowmen and candy canes, this Target + Neiman Marcus collection features another side of the festive season. A hat, spectacles, dress shoes, a necktie and even a bow tie allude to the wintery and fancy outfits that one dons at this time of year.

To accompany the quirky shapes, the Band of Outsiders Cookie Cutters come with a selection of stampers. They can be used to emboss the dough with patterns to embellish the edibles before they're decorated.
Trend Themes
1. Stylish Cookie Cutters - Creating unique and stylish cookie shapes offers a disruptive innovation opportunity to enhance the aesthetic appeal of desserts.
2. Embossed Patterns - Adding embossed patterns to cookies provides a chance for disruptive innovation by offering a new way to decorate and personalize baked goods.
3. Alternative Holiday Designs - Introducing alternative holiday designs for cookie cutters presents a disruptive innovation opportunity to provide a fresh and unique twist on traditional holiday treats.
Industry Implications
