Small Is Beautiful ... And Delicious

The kings of 18th century France desired these petite, beautiful desserts which were originally made for their pleasure alone.  The name Petit Fours derived from the slow oven which these dainty sweets were baked and the name Petit Four actually means "little ovens."

These elegant bite-sized cakes can be layered with fruity cordials, truffle mousse, draped in fine chocolate and festively decorated over smooth, butter cream frosting.  Each one is generally multi-layered no more than 1" squared and filled with velvety creams, intriguing fruits like raspberry, orange, strawberry and mocha.
