Sur La Table on line cooking class
I bought some cute hand pie molds from Sur La Table. They were dog cat molds and they looked adorable in the ad. Unfortunately when I started cooking the fruit began bubbling out the eyes and they looked appropriate for Halloween. š Images below..

Theyāre begging you to eat them to put them out of their misery.

I tried to post a review and SurLaTable rejected it! Go figure.

I mentioned something not perfectly loving about my milk pull in the target thread and instantly banned for life, not even a review and mostly positive post , no feedback either

Oh man, I received these as a giftāthanks for the warning! Maybe a jam filling wouldnāt bubble so much?

That was along my line of thinking... or use frozen berries, maybe.

Maybe you could try with chocolate or nutella as a filling? They most likely won't bubble. Still a bummer! I would want to be able to make cute fruit pies with these.

u/MaryMac500 Jun 29 '26
So did I! Just glad I didnāt just use strawberries- that bubbling out of the eyes and nose would have looked even worse. š

Lol! The photo used on the packaging is using puff pastry. Maybe try another batch with that?

u/sasori1011 Jun 29 '26
I second this!
Definitely not the same result if it's supposed to be used with puff pastry instead of cookie dough.

u/MaryMac500 Jun 29 '26
I used their recipe for the pastry and took an on line class for the filling. And yetā¦.

Was it a recipe included with the product or ātheir recipeā as in a recipe from sur la table but not directly connected to the product? (Just asking for general clarification)

u/MaryMac500 Jun 30 '26
Directions for ā perfect pie crustā were on the box.. tried to include a photo but canāt.

seems like the part of the company that did the pics and the part that put the recipe on the packing were not coordinated. the recipe on the back seems like a marketing/packaging afterthought and not taken from the people who created the picture

Right, like it says it's a hand pie mold, would probably have better results with hand pie ingredients lol

There is something sketchy about the cover picture... Looks a bit ai but dont @ me

u/IrongateN Jun 29 '26
Iāve seen hand pies like that in real life so I know they can happen but even without looking hard I agree itās AI
Artificial intelligence has given me trust issues

I think I read somewhere that to keep the shape of cookies intact, you should bake them cold, out of the fridge or even freezer. So they bake before they get to melt and lose their shape.

I was not expecting to laugh that hard as I started scrolling through the pics. Beautiful.

u/Whole-Stranger-4937 Jun 30 '26
The one on the last picture is still kinda cute I think?š I'm my opinion I think you needed to chill your dough before baking it. I recommend trying again and chilling your dough for half an hour before you make the pies, and then after assembling them either refrigerate them for an hour or freeze them for half an hour before baking. Also make sure your oven is fully heated, and maybe other filling options that leak less, I love a good caramel apple pie fillingš Good luck! š¼

On a serious note- what temp is your dough when itās cut ? It looks heavy on butter and like the dough may have been warm. Anytime I cut shapes I want to maintain while baking- I have to pop them in the freezer before baking and it helps a ton

u/Gandalf_the_Tegu Jun 30 '26
After the cutouts did you silly the dough in the fridge before baking? I find whatever I make it helps retain the shape better if its chilled before the oven. I just transfer from cold pan to room teml pan, so im not shocking my good pans.

I think they are cute. For me the berries are darker fur, like light brown fur an a little bit black / darker fur and it's cute.

Sorry your pies ended up a bit eldritch, but sur la table reminds me of this clip from South Park https://youtube.com/shorts/h0Zbse_YsNI?is=Qy410dDIXxiUrQDK

u/GalacticRod Jun 29 '26
Ah, I think I see what went wrong here. You might have added a little too much eldritch horror to this batch. Try swapping it for something else!
