The การประดิษฐ์ also relates to a baked product ซึ่งประกอบรวมด้วย a baked product blank, having a substantially closed surface and an open-pore dividing surface, where the open-pore dividing surface is closed by a hardenable and hardened mass.
Hardening designates in particular changes in the physical properties of the masses as are described in the exemplary embodiments.
Sealing designates in particular changes in the physical properties at the dividing surface as are described in the exemplary embodiments.
As a result of the method according to the การประดิษฐ์ and/or sealing, the following aims are achieved:
1. The baked product, e.g. the wafer half-shell is
provided with a visually attractive, smooth or
patterned edge.
2. A mechanical stabilization of the dividing surface is
achieved. Any breaking-off of thin webs of the
dividing surface and in particular at the open edge (crumbling) associated with the loss/the restriction of the usage properties is omitted.
3. The penetration of moisture and atmospheric oxygen
through the open-pore dividing surface is prevented.
4. The baked products, e.g. the wafer half-shells can
also be used as individual products or individual containers. This is achieved without sticking together two half-shells at the open edges so that the half-
shells need not be joined in each case, as is known, using an edible adhesive such as fat-sugar masses or

chocolate in order to achieve the effects specified in
1. to 3.
In the method according to the การประดิษฐ์, the open-pore dividing surface of a baked product blank is sealed. To
this end, a pasty, in particular liquid to viscous
hardenable mass is applied to the dividing surface. This application is accomplished in layer form and in particular as a single layer as a thin layer.
Sealing is designated as the process in which an open-pore surface is closed by a substantially closed-pore layer. However, this closed-pore layer is not necessarily air- or liquid-tight. However it has a smaller-pore structure than the open-pore dividing surface.
The baked product blank is then pressed together with the mass applied to the dividing surface onto a temperature-
controlled surface. This surface is, for example,
configured as a smooth or structured metal surface. In
particular preferred are those materials and surfaces of the surface for which no sticking of pasty hardenable mass occurs. Optionally the tendency to adhesion can be reduced
by a coating of the surface with oil. The surface is
preferably made of metal, for example, of cast iron,
tempered or not tempered, or of stainless steel.
Furthermore, the surface is actively temperature-
controlled. That is, the surface is either heated or
cooled. In particular, the surface has a temperature which
differs from the ambient temperature. For hardening the
mass the surface furthermore has a temperature which
differs from the temperature of the mass on application to the dividing surface. According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the temperature of the surface differs from the temperature of the baked product blank during or shortly before the pressing process.

The mass is hardened by the temperature-controlled surface. The dividing surface is then sealed. This hardening takes place, for example, along a smooth surface. As a result of pressing on the baked product blank and the mass, the mass penetrates into the open pores of the dividing surface of the baked product blank.
The pressing-on can be accomplished in such a manner that the tips of the open-pore dividing surface end flush with the mass in the hardened state.
According to a further embodiment, the mass can completely cover the open-pore dividing surface so that a layer of the mass lies over the entire dividing surface. Open-pore parts of the dividing surfaces are therefore completely covered.
As a result of the method according to the การประดิษฐ์, a
baked product is formed which has a completely
substantially closed or sealed outer shell. Those surfaces of the baked product which are in contact with one of the wafer baking plates during baking in any case have a substantially closed open-pore outer skin. The dividing surfaces formed by a separating process open the porous crumbs of the baked product blank to the outside. In particular, these dividing surfaces are sealed, reinforced and closed by the method according to the การประดิษฐ์. Thus, a baked product is formed which ประกอบรวมด้วย the baked product blank which has a substantially closed surface and an open-
pore dividing surface, where the open-pore dividing surface is closed by a hardenable mass. Examples for such products are hollow wafers, in particular half-shells which are formed by separation from a baked compound. In particular,
these separated baked product blanks have a dividing
surface which corresponds substantially to a flat surface, For sealing the surface onto which the blank is pressed can also be designed to be flat.
Hereinafter the method according to the การประดิษฐ์ is
discussed in detail by means of two specific exemplary embodiments.
First exemplary process: sealing (closing the open edge) by
means of a baking step after application of fatty-
substance-rich masses
