I have always loved the look of these little cakes. So tiny and tempting, makes you want to pick one up and pop it into your mouth....they are actually almost too cute to eat, but will definately make a hit at your party. Also would make a nice gift to bring to your host!
EASY PEASY PETITS FOURS
1/2 white cake mix
jam of your choice
prepare a half of a white cake mix.
bake in a 9 inch pan
cool on rack remove from pan, then freeze! After frozen, remove from freezer, trim off crusty edges,cut into 1/2 inch squares,diamonds or circles. You may use small cookie cutters if you prefer. Split in half, then sandwich them back together with jam (for a filling). Arrange on cake rack well separated *be sure to have another pan under the rack*. Pour *warm Petits Fours frosting over the cakes,in a steady stream, be generous, covering each little cake completely. You may have to do 2 coats. Scrape up frosting that has dripped into the bottom pan back into the warm frosting pot. Repeat frosting. Let dry then decorate with tiny bits of nuts, dried fruit or piped on flowers, or drizzled white chocolate!
