3.12.08: Petits Fours Glacés, iced petits fours
these are tiny cakes covered in colored fondant icing. this is a try of the entire class'. Reesha and I made the blue ones on the left and the light blue ones in the middle that look kind of green. The little domed ones are filled with buttercream. I put one in my mouth and then spit it out - it was way too sweet for my taste, shocking!.

3.13.08: Petits Fours Exam tray
Reesha and I each had to make 4 petits fours each and tray up together. We decided to to theme our tray around a variety of fruits and colors. Mine are the 4th in from the left- mini puff pastry filled with a sweet pineapple cream with a sliver of pineapple, the big 4th one from the right- mini chocolate/orange cupcakes topped with an orange/cream cheese frosting, the 3rd from the right- mini fruit tartlettes in a chocolate rimmed tart shell, filled with a light pastry cream, covered with blueberries, and the last one- opera cake filled with raspberry buttercream and crème d'Or (similar to chocolate mousse).
