So. Making petie fours, right? It's my second time, and the first time didn't get beyond "they look like kitchen sponge chunks." I have been trying out different ways of using Michelle Foster's fondant to cover them this time, because the cake came out great this time.
1. Rollin' rollin' rollin'...makes nice but still kind of frustratingly wrinkly finished product. probably my inexperience with fondant speaking.
2 Melt and pour....better pour fast if you want to cover it, and it dries so hard it's tough to get them off the wire rack, much less trimming drips off.
3. OH CRUD THE NAPALM!! ....do not even TRY to dip. Cake is less dense than fondant and poking leads to OMG PAAAAAAAAAAAIN...
Petit fours: 4, Varika: -257!
aaaghhhh. Sorry to hear about that.
Those little guys must be devils to make, I've heard a lot of people complain about them. I've not tried. I have no intention of introducing that brand of stress into my life. I have a tough enough time with the big cakes, let alone the itty bitty ones!
Sounds like it's time to sit down with a good glass of wine and laugh this one off!
Cheers!
I've never tried petit fours (and now I don't want to!) and I'm sorry this happened to you but, I gotta say,
"OH CRUD THE NAPALM"
was Diet-Coke-out-the-nose funny! 
you pour over them while they are sitting on a rack? If you're pouring, it's easier to sit them onto something that is smaller than the bottom of the cake so the ganache (or whatever using) just drips straight off instead of pooling around it. No fuss, no muss.

I'm confused. you cut little one inch squares of cardboard for them to sit on? 
When they are sitting on a rack, the ganche/topping drips straight off.
But I understand what the other person is saying. THe part that drips off the petit four dries to the rack, making it hard to pick up the dried petit four.
Been there, too.
