Why Chefs Love Mini Cones

The ready-to-fill mini cone is a true source of inspiration, elevating the art of cocktail bites to the highest level of refinement. 

Wolfgang Puck’s Signature Dish 

Renowned chef Wolfgang Puckwho heads over 100 restaurants worldwidemade it one of his signature dishes, first introduced at his fine-dining restaurant Spago in Beverly Hills.

Famous for redefining California cuisine, Puck stands out for his originality, use of fresh ingredients, and uncompromising pursuit of quality.

Inspired by the cone shape in cooking and his experience with French gastronomy, the chef created his iconic amuse-bouche: Spicy tuna tartare served in sesame miso cones.

This elegant bite has earned star status at prestigious events such as the Oscars and Paris Hilton’s wedding, bridging the worlds of haute cuisine and Hollywood glamour. The chef himself calls it “one of the most delicious bites you’ll ever taste.” 

The Perfect Bite

The mini cone (4–5 cm height) has all the qualities to make a trendy canapé :

  • A spectacular visual due to its vertical shape
  • An ideal size for the right filling for cost effectiveness
  • Effortless elegance: one preparation and one visual ingredient are often enough
  • Easy service, thanks to its practical display stand
  • A refined tasting experience, enjoyed gracefully with the fingertips

Convenience Meets Profitability

For caterers, a high-quality cone, with a protective coating to prevent sogginess, is a smart solution:

  • Easy to fill in advance on its holder
  • No handling needed at service time
  • Can be filled directly with a piping bag
  • Zero waste during preparation

These advantages make it a premium bite with exceptional efficiency.

Endless Creative Inspiration

Three cones, three creative possibilities:

A few topping ideas, always with a visual accent:

  • The famous Wolfgang Puck recipe: diced tuna tartare seasoned with wasabi, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil
  • From the sea: smoked salmon mousse, scallop rillettes with trout roe, fish tartare, sardine or mackerel rillettes with citrus wedges
  • Vegetarian options: sautéed mushrooms topped with a chip, tomato compote with vegetable fries, beet spread with berries
  • Dairy inspiration: mascarpone with herbs, whipped goat cheese or ricotta with figs, cream cheese mousse with caviar
  • Meat and charcuterie: beef tartare with microgreens, shredded duck confit

Elegance Above All

Savoury bites must constantly evolve – bringing new flavours, fresh textures, and visually captivating presentations. Distinction, quality, and finesse are the guiding principles. They set the tone for memorable culinary experiences.
