Christmas molds based on carol

The “12 Days of Christmas” is captured in a new line of cookie molds based on the holiday carol.

They’re from House on the Hill and were commissioned by its owner/baking instructor Connie Meisinger. The original designs of the wood resin composite molds, such as this “Partridge in a Pear Tree,” can be used to bake springerle, gingerbread or shortbread as well as shape marzipan.

The roughly 2-by-3-inch molds are $28.50 each at houseonthehill.net.
