Know before you buy
This mold is made from high-quality stainless steel and does not feature a non-stick coating. To ensure your pastry pyramid releases cleanly, we recommend lightly greasing the exterior or lining it with parchment paper before assembly.
Since the mold is stainless steel, it is standard practice to wrap the cone in parchment paper or aluminum foil before you begin stacking your profiteroles. This creates a barrier that allows you to easily slide the finished croquembouche off the mold once the caramel has set.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is durable enough for dishwasher use. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to maintain the finish and prevent any potential water spotting.
While specifically designed for croquembouche, the hollow cone shape is versatile enough to be used as a structural guide for other molded desserts, savory appetizers, or even as a display stand for decorative pastry work.
The number of puffs depends on their individual size and how tightly you space them. Generally, a 14-inch mold requires approximately 60 to 80 standard-sized profiteroles to achieve a full, professional-looking pyramid.
