Frequently asked questions
How does the double system work?
The mold has two types of cavities: the cup (Ø55 × 60 mm, 97 ml) and the lid (Ø60 × 10 mm, 20 ml). The two parts are assembled after demolding to form the complete cup.
What finish should I use for the trompe-l'œil effect?
The matte brown or chocolate velvet spray gives the closest finish to a real cup. Mirror glaze would give away the pastry-like appearance.
How many pieces per tray?
8 cavities in total on a 300 × 200 mm tray.
Suitable for direct baking?
Yes, up to +250°C. The mold is also freezer-safe down to -40°C for frozen creations.
