Sweet Domestics Pastry Cloth and Rolling Pin Cover Recommended by Whom You Know!

Rolling out cookie dough is always a challenge. Even though I bought an expensive marble rolling pin which I put in the fridge before using, the dough always sticks. ALWAYS. So what is a girl to do? I am embarrassed to say it is as easy as a pastry cloth and rolling pin cover from Sweet Domestics in West Hartford, CT. Yes, there products are all made in the USA. So continue to sprinkle flour on the cloth and cover and roll away to the perfect thickness and the dough never sticks. That is right…Never. 

One of the things I hate the most when making cookies is having to roll out the dough. I can never get it even or most of the dough sticks to the rolling pin. When I received the pastry cloth and rolling pin cover set in the mail from Sweet Domestics, I was excited to try it out. I am so glad I did. I was able to get my dough rolled out perfectly each time. This would be the perfect gift for any baker in your life. I know I am going to purchase a few to give as gifts. Plus, with this set being made in America, I love it even more. Happy baking!

Whenever I bake, one of the issues I sometimes encounter is the dough sticking to the counter and the rolling pin. I've tried using extra flour which helps, but it can be very messy! Sweet Domestic's pastry cloth and rolling pin cover really do the trick! Since using it I've been getting perfect cookies every time! This USA-based company makes lots of amazing products. From gingerbread house cookie cutters to mixes and fun candy decorations, the fun doesn't stop! Sweet Domestics brings the excitement and ease back into baking! 

The best thing about Sweet Domestics Pastry Cloth and Rolling Pin Cover? They are made in the USA! My four and a half year old son loves nothing more than to bake! We tried out these products together and loved them. I had used a pastry cloth before, but had never tried a rolling pin cover. These Sweet Domestics products were fantastic! Very easy to use, you simply sprinkle flour on the cloth and rolling pin cover before using. After using, shake off excess flour, fold, place in sealed plastic bag and store in freezer for next use. To wash, shake off excess flour, soak in cold water for a few hours, rinse and wash. We will definitely be adding these products to our baking routine!

Christine Brooks started Sweet Domestics LLC in July of 2006. The company is located in West Hartford Connecticut. In November of 2006 she introduced her first product, the Spicebrook Forest™ Gingerbread House Cookie Cutter Kit (Retail: $24.95). It includes thirteen cookie cutters (six for the house, and a dog, cat, bear, elf, tree, boy and girl), and an instruction booklet. The booklet was written by Christine and has everything you need to know to have a gingerbread house party, including the recipes for cookie dough and royal icing. The cookie cutters and instruction booklet are made in the USA. 

Christine first designed her gingerbread house cookie cutters 25 years ago when her daughters were 3 and 5 years old. She believed they needed to make gingerbread houses to have a happy childhood, but couldn’t find a cookie cutter kit, so she made her own. She had parties for her family and friends for 25 years. She decided to start Sweet Domestics in 2006 because her oldest daughter’s best friend, who had been making gingerbread houses at Christine’s parties since she was seven years old, got married. Christine wanted her to be able to make gingerbread houses with her own children some day, and decided that it was time to share the fun of gingerbread house parties with families across the country. 

Christine is committed to providing her customers the same value and quality that she seeks as a consumer herself. The cookie cutters can be used again and again, and will last for many years. The cookie dough and royal icing mixes are all natural and don’t contain any preservatives. The assorted candies are a great value because they provide a broad assortment of candies in different colors, shapes, sizes and textures to inspire gingerbread house artists. Customers can bake the cookies for seven gingerbread houses in less than one hour. The cookies can be made ahead of time and stored for several weeks. 

Her products are made in the USA. They have been sold nationally through HearthSong, Plow & Hearth, Magic Cabin, Solutions Catalog, and King Arthur Flour, and at independent kitchen, and gift stores across the country.
