NO. 1 Round Pastry Shell - Flaky - 40mm - 200 Shells

The smallest of the Pasteles flaky rounds, this 40mm shell is built for one-bite elegance. At canapé scale, it demands a pastry that can stand on its own — and the No. 1 delivers: shatteringly crisp, with the distinct layered snap of a properly made flaky pastry that holds together right up until the moment it doesn’t.

Perfect for passed canapés, cocktail functions, and grazing presentations where visual consistency matters as much as flavour. Fill cold with smoked trout and horseradish cream, egg and chive, or whipped goat’s curd and roasted beetroot — or rebake with a savoury custard or melted cheese filling for something warm off the tray. Suitable for cold or hot fillings and can be rebaked once filled.

Format: 200 shells per carton | 40mm diameter | Flaky pastry

Producer: Pasteles Bakehouse

Founded in Sydney’s Botany in 1983, Pasteles Bakehouse has spent over four decades perfecting the art of the pastry shell. Working from a traditional family recipe, founder Ruth Danny built a business that now counts some of Australia’s finest hotels, caterers, restaurants, and specialty food stores among its loyal customers. The business took out the Best New Foodservice Product Award in Melbourne in 1994 and has since appeared in Gourmet Traveller, Vogue Australia, and the Australian Women’s Weekly.

HACCP certified and 100% Australian owned and operated, Pasteles produces three pastry styles — shortcrust, flaky, and sweet — each made with natural ingredients and finished by hand. These are shells that serious kitchens reach for again and again.
