This was my first attempt at petit fours. I used a petit fore cake recipe on mahalo.com, torted and brushed on an almond simple syrup and apricot jam. I really didn't like the taste of the petit four icing recipes I found and I was running out of time so I bought a tub of Wilton Decorator Icing (didn't know if buttercream would hold up) and melted it over a metal bowl of boiling water (as suggested on Wilton.com) and poured it on. Royal icing decorations and Wilton pearl flower centers.
