Exciting New Club Tools!
We have some great new tools in the club. New Cookie cutters are available in room 4. New textured rolling pins are in room 3. Let's have fun using these great (and expensive!) new tools and take care of them. Always wipe clean and return to it's original location. Never take them home. The cutters are delicate, so take care not to bend or use too much force. The pins should never get too wet. Just wipe with a barely damp cloth. Enjoy!
