I am about to begin a journey into the dark world of petits fours - I would love any tips, recipies, flavor combinations etc. that any of you may be willing to share. There is not much in the recipie section but I am sure with all the experienced people who are here, there are lots of things I could learn! Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi there, I haven't done petits fours. But here is a link to a fellow cc members blog, on how to make the petits fours.

HTH.

freeman203 thanks for asking this question, I am to wondering. I have been asked to do these for the prom at my sons school for next year. I would also love any tips, words of advice, and recipes.

Thanks,
Kat

Thanks bashini - that website is very helpful. I am also looking for the multi layer petits fours - somewhere???? I saw a 3 layer (tiny little layers) recipie that had apricot jelly - anyone know anything about that?

Any cake flavor and any jam works. Just torte the cakes or bake in small layers. Layer, ice the top, and freeze the whole block. Cut while frozen and refreeze. Pull them out a couple at a time to dip in warm fondant with a toothpick then place on an elevated glazing rack to drip and set (put toothpick thru hole, grip with other hand, and pull free). Super easy this way.

freeman203, so sorry I don't know what exactly you are looking for, but I found some recipes for you.

Hope this will help you!

Bashini thank you so much, that was so sweet of you to get all of those web sites for me - I think I have enough to get started. Thanks for everyone who replied!

Its a pleasure. Hope everything goes well and post a picture for us to see.

Good Luck!

Good luck with them-I personally think they are a pain in the butt!
