5 Reasons You’ll Win the Holidays With Bake it Fancy.
Made by a former art teacher who knows how to teach.
I spent years teaching people who swore they “weren’t artists.” That’s why every press comes with my recipe and a step-by-step video tutorial. Your first cookie is practice, but by your third, you’ll be showing them off. And every order is packed by hand in my little studio in Colorado. I’m a real person, not a faceless seller.
Real hard maple. Not plastic.
Plastic and 3D printed cookie stamps break, warp, and end up in the junk drawer. Ours are made from solid hard maple and laser-engraved deep, so they hold up batch after batch, year after year.
This is the press you’ll still be pulling out when the grandkids are grown, and the one they’ll ask for someday.
Detail that survives the oven.
AI can make any cookie look perfect. Your oven can’t. Our deep engraving keeps every line sharp after baking, so what comes out matches the design you fell in love with.
Then the fun part: paint it.
Pressing gives you the design. Painting brings it to life. With a little luster dust and a small brush, a simple cookie becomes something impressive. I’ll show you how, even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush.
You approve it before we engrave it
Add a name, and your cookies become a gift nobody else can give. Before we engrave anything, we’ll email you a proof so you can double-check every letter. Ships from our Colorado studio, so it arrives in days, not weeks.

How it works...
FAQ
What if I've never baked before?
That's literally who these are made for. Every kit comes with a press, cookie cutter, recipe, and step-by-step instructions built for total beginners. Dough can take a tiny bit of experimenting because humidity, flour brand, and room temp all play a role, but once you nail it, you'll be unstoppable.
What recipe should I use?
We've got you covered. Every order includes our tried-and-true recipe, detailed instructions, and a full video tutorial. The stamps also work great with any Springerle recipe, fondant, or rolled buttercream.
How do you decorate the cookies?
Embossed cookies look stunning straight out of the oven, no decoration needed. But if you want to take it up a notch, luster dust is your new best friend. Mix it with a few drops of high-proof alcohol or clear-extract and paint it on. It dries fast, leaves zero residue, and makes your cookies look like they came from a fancy bakery.
How do the cookies taste?
Butter. Sugar. Vanilla. Our customers are obsessed. You can also riff on our base recipe and add your own flavors. It's a great starting point, not a rulebook.
What if the dough sticks to the press?
Your dough is too warm. Pop it in the fridge for a few minutes and try again. You're looking for soft and pliable (like play-dough) but still cool to the touch.
What if the design melts away in the oven?
Chill your dough before it goes in. That's the main thing. We cover all the common hiccups in our step-by-step instructions and video, but cold dough = crisp impressions.
How do I clean and care for my press?
A little dish soap, a bristled brush, 5–10 seconds of gentle scrubbing, a cold water rinse. Done. Let it dry fully before storing.
For oil: your press arrives pre-treated so you're good to go out of the box. Re-oil when the wood looks dry or dull, after several washes, or before long-term storage. Use food-safe mineral oil only! Never olive or vegetable oil (they go rancid). Apply with a cloth, let it absorb overnight, wipe off the excess. That's it.
Can you make a custom press?
No, not during the holiday season, sorry! Our studio is busy engraving holiday orders, so we can’t take on custom logo designs right now. You can still add your company’s name to any of our existing designs, though. Just type it in the personalization box when you order. Baking cookies with your company's name makes a great client or employee gift!
What if I don't like it?
