Pastry Star Florentine Base is a ready-to-use caramelized glaze designed to simplify the preparation of crisp, nut-based confections like florentine cookies, brittle toppings, and tart shells. Just mix with sliced almonds or other nuts, spread, and bake—no need to cook sugar or caramel from scratch.

This 12 lb pail is perfect for high-volume pastry kitchens, allowing chefs to produce consistent, glossy, golden-brown nut toppings with minimal prep. The base spreads evenly and bakes into a crisp, delicate caramel shell that holds its shape and texture.
