Cakes & Pies
• While frozen, remove the protective
collar which surrounds the cake. Slide a flat knife or spatula between
the round cardboard platform
and the bottom of the cake to separate the moist layer cake from
the circular board.
• Remove the paper dividers between the slices of
cake or pie.
• Lift out slice of cake/pie by gently sliding a cake server underneath,
pulling the slice away from the whole cake/pie, and sliding it on
to a plate.
Bars
• While frozen, use a hot, wet, serrated knife to cut lines from
one end of the bar to another. Cut to the edge, and slice through
the edge with a downward motion. Be sure that you have cut through
the bottom of the bar. Repeat this process while approximating
the portion size for each serving.
• Use a flexible plastic server to remove the slices by lifting straight
up.
• Plate the slice by gently sliding it off the server with the flat
side of the knife.
Assorted Loaves
• While slightly frozen, remove plastic wrap from the around the
loaf. Determine approximate portion size, and using a French
knife, slice bread using a downward motion. Be certain to slice
completely through the bottom of the bread. Repeat process until
entire loaf is sliced.
• For continental breakfasts, we recommend cutting the bread a second
time down the center, and plating the bread by the half slice on
the platter.
Pan Tiramisu
• While slightly frozen, remove plastic wrap from the plastic pan.
Determine the approximate portion size, and using a French knife,
cut a straight line from one end of the pan to the other. Be
certain that cut goes through the entire cake. Cut to the edge,
and turn knife at a 90 degree angle to cut against the side of
the pan (repeat for other side). Repeat this process while approximating
the portion size for each piece.
• Slide flexible metal or plastic server underneath the first piece
of cake, using the edge of the pan as your guide. To remove, lift
straight up with the server
• Plate the slice by gently sliding it off the server with the flat
side of the knife.
Quiche
• Allow product to thaw, reaching room temperature before handling
or heating.
• Quiche can be heated whole, or by the slice. If whole, heat the
quiche at 300F convection, 325F conventional for approximately
25-30 minutes. If by the slice, heat the quiche for approximately
10-15 minutes. For best results, thaw the quiche overnight in refrigeration
(if thawed, heating time is reduced to 15 – 20 minutes for
whole quiche).
• To cut the quiche, use a French knife. Cut the quiche starting
at the center and move out to the edge using a sawing motion. Draw
the knife through the bottom crust to maintain a clean separation
of crust and filling. Cut to the outer crust, but not through it.
Find the line at the end of your first cut that is perpendicular
to the outer crust. Cut through the crust at this angle.
• Determine the desired size of the slice you want to cut, and place
the knife at the center of the quiche. The slice should be larger
than the server you will be using to remove it. Be sure to cut
all the way through the bottom crust.
• Use a flexible plastic or metal server to remove slice by lifting
straight up.
• Plate slice by gently sliding it off the server with the flat side
of the knife.
French Pastries
• While frozen, remove the clear plastic wrap from the inner corrugate.
Take out the tray dividers from the inner corrugate. Fold down
the edges of the box, and slide a flexible plastic server underneath
the individual pastries and lift straight up.
• Plate pastry by gently sliding it off the server with the flat
side of a knife.
