They are inclined to puff a little bit, Diane since we're aiming for flaky pie crust. If you'd like to use more elaborate cutters like leaves and pumpkins, you might consider using a knife or toothpick to lightly trace the veins of each leaf a little deeper. You can also experiment with using a roll out cookie recipe instead, baking the cookie cutouts separately and arranging them around the edge of the pie after baking. It's what we've done with our Pumpkin Pie, for example. Mollie@KAF
