A voodoo doll cookie cutter is a unique, quirky, and slightly eerie kitchen tool that allows individuals to create voodoo doll-shaped cookies. This unconventional cookie cutter has gained popularity among bakers and enthusiasts who enjoy adding a touch of novelty to their baked goods. The concept of the voodoo doll cookie cutter is inspired by the practice of voodoo, a spiritual belief and ritual originating in Africa and the Caribbean. In voodoo, it is believed that a physical representation of a person, often a doll, can be used to inflict harm or manipulate the individual. While these practices have often been exaggerated and sensationalized in popular culture, the voodoo doll has become a symbol associated with mysticism and the occult. The cookie cutter itself is typically made from food-safe materials such as stainless steel or plastic.

Once Upon a Time bosses explain new curse
When Once Upon a Time returns for its rebooted seventh season, the trio of returning characters we’ve come to know and love will find themselves under a new curse from which it will be much harder to break free.
As revealed at Comic-Con, when adult Henry (Andrew J. West) leaves home and finds himself in trouble, Regina (Lana Parrilla), Hook (Colin O’Donoghue), and Rumple (Robert Carlyle) will come running. But somehow the quartet ends up under a new curse and it’s up to Henry’s daughter Lucy (Alison Fernandez) to get them all to believe once again. However, it won’t be easy as this new curse is quite different from the Dark Curse that started the whole show.
To understand the new curse, you must first understand the new main villain at the center of the story: Cinderella’s (Dania Ramirez) wicked stepmother Lady Tremaine (Gabrielle Anwar). “As often is the case on Once Upon a Time, there’s more than meets the eye to what we know about the character,” EP Adam Horowitz tells EW. “Lady Tremaine doesn’t like Cinderella very much and she’s got an agenda. But there is something broiling beneath that’s personal and painful that is driving all of this.”
“She’s somebody who wants to get to the top and will use any means necessary,” EP Edward Kitsis adds. “So why it’s important for her to be royal, why it’s important for her to crush everyone else, is the story of the year. In true Once Upon a Time fashion, evil isn’t born, it’s made, and we’ll see that with her as well.”
This all speaks to some of the twists within Hyperion Heights, the new Storybrooke-esque neighborhood in the Land Without Magic that the characters will call their home during the curse. “We’re going to see in Hyperion Heights that the role Lady Tremaine has taken is very similar in terms of getting to the top, in terms of being a developer, who is this character who is trying to push out the fairy tale characters who are living in Hyperion Heights, gentrifying the neighborhood and bringing other people in,” EP David H. Goodman says.
Yes, this does mean non-fairy tale folk also dwell in Hyperion Heights. “We’re in a city now,” Horowitz says. “Hyperion Heights is part of Seattle the way Brooklyn is part of New York. It’s more densely populated and it’s filled with fairy tale characters and non-fairy tale characters and that’s another interaction and vibe that we didn’t really have in Storybrooke, where it was all the cursed people.”
And here’s the kicker: “Lady Tremaine learned the lesson that Regina didn’t, which is don’t keep them all together where one day they can find themselves, push them the hell out!” Kitsis exclaims. “You push them the hell out and you gentrify the neighborhood and you bring in a cold press juicer and they can’t afford it anymore, then you won’t worry about the Pied Piper finding, you know, Alice.” (The new iteration of Alice, by the way, will be played by Rose Reynolds.)
“[Lady Tremaine] is sort of Regina-prime and she’s trying to figure out a way to scatter these fairy tale characters to the wind so they can’t be together, because as we’ve always seen, when these characters get together, they always figure out how to beat the bad guy,” Goodman adds. “Not giving anything away what the curse is, but she’s learning and standing on the backs of these other curses that have come before her to be as effective a villain as possible.”

Another facet of this curse is new alter egos for our favorite characters. As spied in the season 7 trailer, Hook appears to be a cop, while Regina may be a bartender. “They’re different from the cursed personas we’ve seen before,” Horowitz explains. “While it’s Regina you’ve been with for six seasons, what she is now in Seattle is something different. What it’s allowing us to do is seeing these same characters in a new way. Also, Hook never had a cursed persona, so this allows us to do something we haven’t done before with Hook.”
Adds Kitsis: “And I would say Regina never had a cursed persona, because she was the Queen and the Mayor, but she was always awake.”
However, just because Lady Tremaine is the new big bad, doesn’t necessarily mean she actually cast the new curse. “We said very clearly in the pilot of Once Upon a Time that Regina cast the curse,” Kitsis says. “What you’ll see this season is we don’t necessarily say that in the premiere.” So, who cast the new curse? Our theory: Henry. Maybe he needed to cast the curse to escape the new Enchanted Forest — yup, we said new. More on that soon!
Once Upon a Time returns Friday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
The Poisoned Apple was an apple which had the Sleeping Curse injected into it. Regina used it to curse Snow White. It was later retrieved by Regina, who made it into an apple turnover in an attempt to curse Emma Swan. Instead, it cursed Henry, but the curse was broken by true love's kiss.
Using the voodoo doll cookie cutter, bakers can easily cut out dough in the shape of a voodoo doll, which can then be baked and decorated. The resulting cookies can be embellished with various icing techniques, such as creating stitches, scars, or even facial expressions that give them a more authentic and spooky appearance. These cookies can be a fun addition to Halloween parties, themed events, or even as a novelty gift. They can spark conversations and intrigue guests with their unusual design and connotation. However, it is essential to remember that the voodoo doll is a cultural symbol with deep-rooted significance, and it is important to approach the subject with respect and sensitivity. Overall, the voodoo doll cookie cutter is a distinctive kitchen tool that allows bakers to create cookies shaped like voodoo dolls. Its design is inspired by the mysticism of voodoo, making it a unique addition to baking supplies. While it may not be for everyone, it adds an element of fun and intrigue for those who enjoy unconventional baking experiences..
Reviews for "Having Fun with Voodoo Doll Cookie Cutters: A How-To Guide"
1. Jane - 2 out of 5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Voodoo doll cookie cutter. First of all, the quality was extremely poor. The cutter was flimsy and bent easily, making it difficult to get clean, precise cuts. Additionally, the shape of the doll was not well-defined, so it was hard to tell what it was supposed to be. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product.
2. John - 1 out of 5 stars - This Voodoo doll cookie cutter was a complete waste of money. The cutter arrived in a cheap, plastic packaging that was already torn when I received it. The cutter itself was not as advertised, and the size was much smaller than I expected. Moreover, the edges were rough and not smoothed out, which resulted in incomplete dough shapes. I regret purchasing this product and would not buy it again.
3. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars - The Voodoo doll cookie cutter left a lot to be desired. It was challenging to get clean cuts since the edges were not sharp enough. The shape of the doll was also quite vague, making it difficult to distinguish it from any other random shape. Additionally, the size was smaller than I anticipated, resulting in smaller cookies that were hard to decorate. I would suggest looking for a better alternative if you're interested in making Voodoo doll-shaped cookies.
4. Michael - 2 out of 5 stars - I found the Voodoo doll cookie cutter to be quite frustrating to work with. The material it was made of was flimsy, and the cutter easily bent during use. It was a struggle to get nicely shaped cookies since the cutter didn't provide clean cuts. Furthermore, the shape itself was not clear and looked nothing like a Voodoo doll. I would advise against purchasing this cookie cutter for anyone looking for a precise and defined shape.
