Containers

Pastry Chefs are often on the lookout for unusual and attractive containers for presenting and serving special pastries and other desserts. Glass containers have several appealing qualities.

Clear glass gives a pastry an immediate visual impact. Stemmed coupe glasses, hurricane glasses, and oversized martini glasses automatically give the pastry height. Natural and edible containers, including hollowed-out citrus fruits and containers such as puff pastry cases (known as vol-au-vents or bouchées), pâte à choux puffs, and tuile cups are all part of the classic pastry repertoire and can be other attractive choices.
