House on the Hill, Inc. Information

House on the Hill cookie molds allow all of us to bake beautiful cookies that are reminiscent of family, history, tradition and culture. Many of the original molds are "presses," now in museums and private collections, were carved in clay, wood or metal and are as old as 500 years. The "picture" cookies cast from these molds were used to tell stories visually when most people were unable to read or write. They celebrate weddings, births, victories, and holidays. Today contemporary methods have enabled us to replicate these historic molds and produce copies for your enjoyment and use. House on the Hill cookie molds are made of a resin and wood composite. Each mold is individually hand cast and carefully hand finished. Most of our molds are replicas of antique carvings, some dating as far back as the 1600's. Since the original carvings had imperfections such as surface cracks and worm holes, our replicas will mimic these characteristics which are not flaws. They add a sense of authenticity and charm to our cookie molds. Besides baking cookies, you can form beautiful, edible, sweets using marzipan, fondant and modeling chocolate. Crafters, artisans and scrapbookers will find infinite ways of creating cards, wall art, gift bags, ornaments, and charms with house on the hill cookie molds. Beautiful as decorating accessories, the cookie molds can be hung on a wall, displayed on a plate rack or table top easel.
