This is my first time at petite fours.Is it me or do they require alot of icing?I think my first mistake was cutting the squares to big. What are the normal size squares?Do anyone have a recipe that will cover a full sheet cake?
I cut my petit fours in 1 1/2" by 1 1/2" squares. I use a very dense almond cake with raspberry & buttercream filling. I keep them frozen and dip in a hot fondant.
"Hot Fondant"?How do you do this?Sounds like something I would like to try.

I did 400 petit fours last year for a graduation reception. I learned alot through trial and error but I am no longer afraid of petit fours! I even have another order for this weekend. I am going to try to post a link to the thread that has the instructions for the method I used. HTH!

I did change my petit four icing recipe though. Only 3 ingredients and no cooking required!
2/3 cup corn syrup
2/3 cup whole milk
7 cups powdered sugar
There are also pics of the petit fours I've done in my photos! I hope this might help in some way! Good luck!
You all posts help a lot. I will surley use them.Can not wait to use the non-cooking method!
