Petit Fours

Petit Fours on Cake Central

Here are some of my simple petit fours (simple as opposed to fancy because they are not layered and filled...single layer of white cake; then vanilla-almond buttercream; then the poured fondant. I have to do 600 of these for an event in May; so I timed myself to see how long it would take to pour that many. I was able to pour 9 dozen in 1 hour and 10 minutes! Not bad! If I had more cooling racks it would go faster!

I don't know Becky. I've never frozen them because I assume the fondant will get soft. I do have some in the freezer now to see how they do.

is that a really thick pur icing? I can't find a recipe for one that is very thick. Would e-mail me that recipe? Or tell me where I can find one simmaler?

It's really not thick! 2/3 cup water, 3 TB karo, 2 lbs. conf. sugar, 1 tsp almond extract. But there is a layer of buttercream on the tops underneath; which might be what makes you think the poured icing looks thick.

please tell me, how do you crumb coat these little things and not have them fall apart on you? That's what they do to me.
