This is a brief introduction to "Carving a Christmas Springerle Mold."

It's Christmas in July! This single episode lesson shows how to carve three different counter-relief or intaglio cookie molds of my own design for springerle cookies. It's a challenge to carve backwards, but getting a jump start on the holidays is never a bad idea when it comes to handmade gifts. The molds make as neat a present as the cookies will. Try your own designs. The possibilities are endless and these are so much fun!
