Heart Shape 3.4oz/100ml Gold Foil Container for Valentine’s Dessert & Wedding Favor

A heartshaped container is never just a container. It’s a statement. This one measures 90 by 90mm at its widest points, stands 29mm tall, and holds 100ml – about 3.4 ounces. That’s exactly the size you need for a single chocolate mousse, a panna cotta, or a small fruit tart. The gold finish makes it look like a gift, and the heart shape tells the customer this was made for a special occasion.

But let’s talk about how it works. The rim is heat sealable – you can run it through a sealer machine with a film lid, which makes it leakproof for things like creamy desserts or even a small portion of soup. However, this model also comes with a plastic lid (included). So you have two options: seal it for a tamperevident, spillproof package, or just snap on the plastic lid for a reusable cup that customers can wash and keep. One bakery uses these for their “love potion” – a raspberry chocolate mousse sealed with a clear film so you see the layers inside. Another customer, a wedding caterer, uses the plastic lid version for their favor tables. Guests take a gold heart home, peel off the lid, and eat the dessert directly from the cup.

From a production standpoint, heart shapes are trickier than rounds or rectangles. The die has to account for the curved lobes and the pointed bottom. If the aluminum isn’t formed correctly, you get wrinkles or thin spots at the tip of the heart. Factories that run heartshaped trays typically use a slower press speed – maybe 40 to 50 pieces per minute – and a dedicated set of progressive dies. The payoff is a container that stands out on Instagram and gets photographed by customers. That’s free marketing.

The 100ml capacity is intentional. It’s small enough to be a “single bite” dessert, but large enough to hold a real portion of mousse or pudding. A chocolate shop in Portland uses these for their vegan mousse cups. They heat seal them with a foil lid printed with the flavor name – “sea salt caramel,” “raspberry rose.” The gold heart goes into a gift box, and customers post photos with captions like “best dessert I’ve ever had.” The shop owner told us that switching from plain silver round cups to these gold hearts increased their social media mentions by 300%.

Packaging for this model is 2000 pieces per carton. The carton measures 48.5 x 38 x 20cm – fairly compact because the heart shapes nest tightly. The plastic lid is included in the same carton, or available separately depending on your order. For heat sealing, you’ll need to source the film lids separately, as this model’s rim is compatible with standard heat seal film rolls.

The gold lacquer is foodgrade and ovensafe up to 220°C. That means you can bake a mini cheesecake directly in the heart cup. Some bakeries do exactly that: pour batter, bake, cool, then either heat seal or snap on the plastic lid. No transferring to another pan. The cup goes from oven to table to recycling bin.

Speaking of recycling: aluminum is aluminum, even in a heart shape. Rinse it out and toss it in the bin. The gold coating doesn’t interfere with the recycling process. For a wedding favor or a Valentine’s special, you can even tell customers “this cup is 100% recyclable” – a nice eco touch for a romantic product.

So if you’re planning a seasonal dessert menu, a wedding favor line, or just want to add something that feels special without a huge cost increase, this 100ml gold heart container is worth a test. It seals, it bakes, it presents beautifully, and it makes your customer’s phone camera come out.
