need help... I need to learn how to do petit fours... anyone with great tips, links to videos, tutorials and recipes, please post.  I have a order for 2 dozen for July and I did them like when I was in high school (take my word for it... that was a long time ago!! ).  Any help would be very very appreciated!

I haven't done them so can't help you personally but since you have so many questions about the whole process you may want to use google and get a bunch of answers right away.  Just type            petit fours cake central      into google and a bunch of relevant threads from  cake central come up.
