How do you do the little cakes wrapped in fondant? Are they cupcakes...they look like the size of cupcakes but thay are the same shape all the way down like a cylinder wrapped in fondant.

Are you talking about petit fours? There is a tutorial on here on how to make it. Just do a search on petit fours.

Is this a petite four?

I think I saw this on another thread.

I would bake, torte, and fill a sheetcake and cut individual cakes with a ring(or can with top and bottom removed). Then chill, crumbcoat, and fondant.

If I were doing these, I would be using pound cake or a dense cake and cutting 2 or 3 with a round cookie or biscuit cutter, icing in between, icing all over and then covering with fondant. Those are definitely not petits fours. Hope that helps

The little ones do look like petit fours. They do make a pourable fondant that you can use on them.

These are bigger than petit fours, I would bake the sheet cake and cut rounds out of it like Matt said. That would give you a nice tall even look to your "cupcake"

Basically a petit four is "one bite" and only about 1" to 1&1/2" sq.
Many people do refer to what you pictured as a petit four but it really isn't.

Do as has been suggested: bake a sheet cake and cut out rounds. Stack as many as you want for heigth, then ice w/buttercreeam before adding fondant.

Thanks for the correction!

yikes, sounds like more trouble than I want, thanks again for all your help!

These cakes pictured are called mini cakes and are a huge PIA to do...They looks cute and all but take 3 times as much work than a regular cake.Many decoraters charge anywhere from $7.00-$20.00 each for these depending on the area of the counrty and the Cake Company.

Can't remember where I saw them but there are cake pans available that are sectioned into small cakes. They come in a lot of shapes but if I remember right they are $80-$90 each.

A Wilton yearbook from a few years ago had them pictured too.

So would you use poured fondant or regular fondant?

I had another question about this....how do you adhere satin ribbon to fondant like the bottom of this pic above?

You could probably use both, I would use regular fondant. I use MMF.
