Greetings!

I want to try petit fors today... I have a baby shower this weekend, and though that I'd take some for folks to try out. (I'm making the cake, too)

I have a pound cake mix, and an angel food mix. I thought about lemon curd for the filling for the pound cake, with maybe a touch of lemon flavoring in the petit fors icing. And for the angel food cake, I have seedless red raspberry jelly.

Will the angelfood work for petit fors, or is it too porous, and is raspberry a good filling for this?

I'm guessing that the pound cake combo will work out well... heaven knows I could eat my weight in lemon pound cake! LOL

Also, if anyone has a favorite recipe that they would like to share, please feel free... I'm open to experimentation. icon_smile.gif

Thanks for any help!

Im not that expirenced in those kind of cakes but just the thought of a light and fluffy angel food cake in that small size mixing with red rasberry filling sounds like a recipe for disaster... I would be afraid it would bleed through. Ever poor strawberries over angel food cake I do all the time and the who piece soaks up the color in just seconds.. Its just my opinion but I would be careful with that combination do a trial run before getting married to it. I hope Im wrong because It sounds really tasty... Good luck
