A press (10) subdivides and shapes an amorphous food article into a pluralit y of discrete items of a particular shape and uniform thickness, having base (30) and opposing lid (20) that move toward each other to create a compressi ve force therebetween. Mold sheet (70) and compression sheet (80) are attached to the base and the lid, respectively, and are adjacent to each other. Mold she et (70) has a plurality of flanges (72) protruding therefrom which acts as a cutting edge to, preferably, create an ornamental periphery in the discrete items. Compression sheet (80) optionally has extrusions (84) protruding therefrom for receiving and holding a filling. A compressible food article i s placed between mold sheet (70) and compression sheet (80), lid (20) and base (30) move toward each other until flanges (72) contact compression sheet (80 ) to subdivide the compressible food article into a plurality of discrete item s.
