What it is
These mini tartlet shells are ready-made pastry bases with a 4.2 cm diameter. They give professional kitchens a consistent small format for sweet desserts, savoury bites and plated or buffet service.
Product and format
The current reference is a carton of 32 pieces. The uniform size helps the pastry team plan portions, fillings and presentation without preparing every base from scratch.
Texture and presentation
The shell provides a crisp, structured base for creams, fruit, mousse, chocolate and savoury fillings. Its small diameter suits individual bites and makes the finished garnish easy to present on trays or dessert counters.
Professional use and quantities
Use one shell per mini dessert or finger-food portion, then add the filling quantity required by the recipe. A 32-piece carton supports a short service run, tasting menu, coffee break or catering tray; plan extra pieces according to expected covers.
Errors to avoid
Do not fill the shells too far in advance when the recipe could soften the base. Avoid overloading the small diameter, rough handling and garnishes that make the portion difficult to pick up or serve.
Storage and handling
Store the shells according to the product label and protect them from humidity, crushing and strong odours. Handle the 4.2 cm pieces carefully, keep the carton closed and move only the quantity needed to the work station.
