Abstract
A pastry cutter is provided to efficiently cut individual wafers from rolled dough. It features a detachable head and handle, allowing the head to press into the dough to create wafers while simultaneously perforating them with a grid of spikes. The head enclosure includes a cutter edge for defining the wafer shape and cleanout apertures for easy maintenance. An internal dough pusher, aided by springs, ejects the cut wafers from the head to ensure they do not stick. The design aims to streamline the production of wafer cookies or similar thin pastries by combining cutting, perforating, and ejecting functions in a single tool.
