What Is a Pirottino
The pirottino is the classic Italian pleated paper cup born in artisan pastry workshops: a small fluted case that holds and presents individual pastries, keeping the counter tidy and the product easy to pick up. The N3 size, with its 30 mm base, is the reference format for mignon pastry: pralines, chocolates, mini cream puffs, candied fruit and tea pastries.

Professional Uses
In a pastry lab the N3 cup is used to serve pralines and chocolates (1 cup per piece), mignon pastries on gold trays, mini cream puffs and macarons on buffet tables, and candied or chocolate-coated fruit in deli counters. One carton of 2,000 pieces covers roughly 130 trays of 15 mignon pieces, making stock planning simple for high-volume production.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not use the N3 format for baking muffins or cupcakes: with a 30 mm base it is a presentation size for mignon, not an oven mould. Do not store the cartons in humid rooms, because paper absorbs moisture and the pleats lose their shape. Choose the correct size before service: a praline in an oversized cup looks smaller and weakens the presentation.
