I also want to know the answer to this, because I haven't tried these because of the fact that you have to ice them in buttercream first. That must be nerve wracking.

I've done it two ways: a no buttercream coat, and a quick crumb coat. The 'crumb coat' ones turned out much nicer than the ones I just poured the fondant on. The coated ones were much smoother, and there weren't any extra crumbs floating in the sides.

You can take a gamble and try just pouring the fondant on, but I would recommend doing a crumb coat at the least! (I too was deterred from trying petit fours just because it is recommended you coat them in buttercream first)

Hope this helps!
Good Luck! icon_biggrin.gif

I just watched a video of a guy dipping petit fours, and I'm sure he didn't have buttercream on them, only in between layers.
It was from a post on another thread, sorry I can't remember which one.
He was a professional baker.
