Ergonomic Pastry Scooping and Serving Device

A pastry serving utensil comprising:

• a pastry scooper device having a scoop member and a handle member;
• wherein said scoop member having a semi-circular bottom surface configured to conform to a shape of a portion of a pastry pan;
• wherein said scoop member having a planar front edge extending between opposing radial ends of said scoop member;
• wherein said planar front edge is a cutting edge having a sharpened terminal lip which functions as said cutting edge to separate a curved pastry portion from an interior of the pastry pan;
• wherein said scoop member having a continuous curved side wall extending upwardly and perpendicularly from at least a portion of a perimeter of said semi-circular bottom surface;
• wherein said continuous curved side wall forming an upward contour to support the curved pastry portion during lifting;
• wherein said handle member affixed to said scoop member at a rearward position opposing said planar front edge;
• wherein said handle member extending rearwardly along a longitudinal axis orthogonal to an axis formed between said opposing radial ends;
• wherein said continuous curved side wall follows an inner contour of the pastry pan;
• and
• further wherein said semi-circular bottom surface and said continuous curved side wall cradles the curved pastry portion during lifting.

A method of serving a pastry, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a pastry scooper device having a scoop member and a handle member, wherein said scoop member having a semi-circular bottom surface configured to conform to a shape of a portion of a pastry pan, wherein said scoop member having a planar front edge extending between opposing radial ends of said scoop member, wherein said planar front edge is a cutting edge having a sharpened terminal lip which functions as said cutting edge to separate a curved pastry portion from an interior of the pastry pan;
• extending upwardly and perpendicularly a continuous curved side wall from at least a portion of a perimeter of said semi-circular bottom surface;
• forming an upward contour with said continuous curved side wall to support the curved pastry portion during lifting, wherein said continuous curved side wall follows an inner contour of the pastry pan;
• affixing said handle to said scoop member at a rearward position opposing said planar front edge;
• extending said handle member rearwardly along a longitudinal axis orthogonal to an axis formed between said opposing radial ends;
• and
• cradling the curved pastry portion, wherein said semi-circular bottom surface and said continuous curved side wall cradles the curved pastry portion during lifting of the curved pastry portion from the pastry pan.
