There was a discussion on this last year - tried a search but it seems to have been pruned.

I have some heart-shaped cucumber shapers from Japan (I think). Cost a fortune, and are very narrow-bore for cucumbers varieties we grow here.  But it was fun!

Key thing is getting the fruit out, of course. These had sophisticated hinges and "latches" to hold them shut ...
