February 2021

With February comes Valentine’s Day!  After years of providing extra special touches on a brunch buffet or a romantic themed dinner, I am happy to recommend a few products that I use to provide that.

Matfer Bourgeat Heart Shape Plain Dough Cutters are a great set of eight different sized hearts. Constructed of tin with a rounded top
edge that allows for repetitive pressing into the dough safely and comfortably without worry of being cut. These cutters are perfect for a variety of applications from cookie dough to fondant and everything in between. One of my personal favorite uses is to use two cutters to create a hollow heart shaped top cookie for Linzer Tarts. The hearts range in size from 1 5/8 to 5 1/2 inches.

The American Metalcraft heart shaped cake pan is a great for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or the newly popular proposal events. The pan comes in either a 7-inch or 16-inch heart, making it perfect for small or larger desserts. It consistently yields perfect heart-shaped creations with no excess, regardless of baking cakes, brownies, or pies. The pan is constructed of 18-gauge aluminum.  This means this pan will continue to hold the heart-shape and evenly distribute heat–providing a consistent
product every time.

Matfer Bourgeat polycarbonate 18 compartment heart chocolate mold will
make that special night a little extra special by offering complimentary chocolates as your guests leave. This chocolate mold is
designed to make 18 heart-shaped chocolates. The durable and transparent polycarbonate plastic allows for easy coloring of the chocolates and ensures the mold won’t break under the weight of the chocolate. The mold itself is easy to clean and ready for the next
batch in just seconds after the chocolates have set and hardened.
