List of products by brand Birkmann

The headquarters of RBV Birkmann are located in Halle (Westphalia), where over 100 new baking products are created every year. The selection is huge, so every project is guaranteed to succeed.

If you want to bake perfect baguettes, we recommend a baguette baking tray, there are a variety of moulds for elegant cakes and cake pops, the cake pop moulds make delicious cakes on sticks, and the cutters from Birkmann are a must for Christmas and Easter. Most of the latter are made in an integrative workshop near Lake Constance. People with and without disabilities work together there and create wonderful Guetzli cutters in all shapes.

In addition to its social commitment, RBV Birkmann also attaches great importance to the quality of its products. The baking moulds from Birkmann are known for their excellent non-stick properties and remain beautiful even after years of intensive use. With all these great tools, really anyone can bake!

We have a large selection of Birkmann cutters in many beautiful shapes. The finished biscuits can then be decorated with icing, sugar pearls and sprinkles. To ensure that the perfectly cut out biscuits don't run off again during baking, it is advisable to use a suitable dough. Use this recipe to make the perfect Guetzli:

Vanilla cookies

100 g sugar

200 g soft butter

1 egg

300 g flour

1/2 vanilla pod, scraped out seeds

1 pinch of salt

Beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy, add the egg and then stir in the remaining ingredients until you have a homogeneous dough. Wrap this dough in cling film and place in the fridge overnight. The next day, roll out to a thickness of 5 mm and cut out as many biscuits as possible. Put the rest of the dough back together and roll out again. Bake the full tray at 170° C for 10 - 15 minutes.

The baked cookies should then cool a little before decorating them. In the meantime, you can prepare everything for the decoration. Royal icing is very suitable for particularly elegant cookies, which can also be used as decorations or place cards, for example. It can be mixed a little thicker or thinner depending on the purpose and can be coloured to your heart's content.

For even more aromatic biscuits, you can also use slightly tempered couverture or cake icing, which is a little easier to use. Other decorations such as crispy sprinkles, sugar pearls, sprinkled decorations and edible paper can be attached to all three masses.

It is best to use a small paper cornet to draw lines as precisely as possible. Then fill in the royal icing, couverture or cake icing, fold the end over and cut the tip off just short. Trace a line on a piece of baking paper or a plate to check the size of the hole.

Then you can start decorating straight away. Draw patterns, faces or textures on your biscuits to your heart's content. For an even base, pipe a border and then pour in some liquid egg white icing or slightly warmer cake icing. This way the icing melts nicely without spilling around the edges. If you use different colours, you can draw small patterns with a toothpick.

Before everything dries, you can glue on various sprinkles and press them on lightly. This is the way to make beautiful Guetzli!
