Not at this time. 

For a perfect soft texture, put unwrapped, uncovered choux into the fridge 24 hours before filling. The choux will absorb the moisture from the refrigeration. Fill the choux by piping it from the base or by slicing the top of the choux. Fill & decorate a minimum of four hours before serving and store in refrigeration until ready to serve. The pastry will soften even more when filled.

Yes, you can fill and bake with our ready to fill tart shells. Please read chefs tip under each tart size for optimal baking temperature and time.

The enemy of the freezer is the air. They need to be in an airtight container and then wrapped in a double layer of plastic all the way around the container. When it's time to thaw, do not unwrap them and let them thaw completely in the refrigerator (overnight is good). They can be frozen for up to a week. If the filling was baked (like cheesecake or key lime) they could be refreshed in the oven for 4-5 minutes.

Sure! They need to be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in an airtight manner. If they get soft during the freeze/thaw stage, they can be "refreshed" in a 350F oven for 5-10 minutes.

Our all-natural rainbow sprinkles will hold up on top of a cookie and inside a cupcake, but the colors may run (unlike sprinkles made with synthetic colors). Our colorful and vibrant crystal sugars can be used as decoration on pastries, cakes, or confections, but are not recommended for baking applications as the color will brown.

Brilliant Powders show that a little goes a long way, and make your job easier too. Simply use a paintbrush to dab the dry glitter onto your chocolate confections, mix with a neutral alcohol like vodka for a more controlled painting option, or put chocolate toppings in a bag to shake; shaking the sweets in a bag of Brilliant Powder results in a look that's sure to be a stunner. The best part? It took you almost no effort.

They should go into the freezer fully wrapped or in an airtight container. They should thaw fully wrapped or in an airtight container in the refrigerator overnight before unwrapping or opening. The idea here is that you want any condensation happening from the freeze/thaw to gather on the outside of the plastic rather than on the pastries themselves. If they're still soggy after following this method, an egg wash will help, but the tart shells need to be egg washed, baked for 4-5 minutes at 350F, cooled slightly and then filled and baked again at whatever temp the recipe calls for.
