skull cookie cutter & press, 4" height

thingiverse

This is a cookie cutter for making calavera cookies. It's actually two parts: an outline of the skull (the cutter) and a separate press that makes indentations for eyes, nose, and jaw. I downloaded BDan's "Cracked Skull Cookie Cutter," but the cookies were enormous and had to be very thick; each cookie was essentially a full meal. So I found a picture of a skull, traced its outlines in LibreOffice, saved it as an SVG, computed an inner buffer for the outline, converted that to OpenSCAD polygons, and voilà. These cookies can now be as thin as desired and are smaller in area. Colored sugar doesn't melt unfortunately, so I suggest using finely broken pieces of Jolly Rancher candy to decorate them (before baking).
