These 3D-Printed Cookie Cutters Turn Your Face into Cookies

In the late 1990s, Will Ferrell, in the guise of Harry Caray, posed the greatest existential question of our time: If you were a hot dog, and you were starving, would you eat yourself?

While the implications of self-cannibalization cannot go understated, fortunately, there's a less disturbing and non-hypothetical way now to eat your own face: these 3D-printed cookie cutters that'll turn your headshot into sugar cookies bearing your mug.

Selling on Etsy by Copypastry, the cutter puts 3D printing technology to its greatest use: making weird shit. 

As the cookie cutters' Etsy page explains, you can "have any silhouette, family portrait, logo or drawing printed and bake your heart out!"

Now, of course, the baking your heart out thing requires you do know how to do that. But leave the cutters up to Copypastry.

The concept comes from inventor Kriszti Bozzai, a graduate design student from Hungary. She wanted to bake cookies for her dog in the shape of a bone, but couldn't find such cutters anywhere. So, as anyone wanting to bake bone-shaped cookies would, she decided to make her own cookie cutters in custom shapes, thus seeking out investors, buying a 3D printer, and turning the whole concept into an Etsy business in less than three months.

Necessity, as they say, is the mother of 3D-printed custom cookie cutters.

Orders typically feature the faces of family and friends, though genitalia and even Charles Bronson cut-outs have come through as orders before. Who's the bigger dick: a dick or Charles Bronson? Only Copypastry knows.

And each order offers an array of color choices, with pink the most popular color for female faces, and blue the most popular for male faces.

You can check out Copypastry's Instagram account for even more examples.

Each custom cookie cutter will cost you about $50 (€45.00), plus $20 shipping.

But really, how much is eating your friend's face worth, especially when you don't even have to be Hannibal Lecter to do it?
