Pastry ustensils
In addition to the usual pastry ustensils, you’ll need:

- 5cm ring silicone moulds for the Ganache montée.
- A tart ring or a pastry cutter 5cm diameter for shortbread and biscuit
- A Parisian apple spoon or a melon baller
- Guitar paper (acetate sheet) to make the stencils for the little chocolate hearts.
Tip: you can adapt the recipe to the size of your equipment (e.g 5,5 and 6cm), and even use alternatives if you don’t have all the moulds, like piping the ganache montée.
