petit fours.
DEFINITION OF PETIT FOURS

A petit four (plural: petit fours) is a small cake generally eaten at the
end of a meal or served as part of dessert. The name is from the French four,
meaning "small oven".

Modern petit fours usually consist of a geometrically cut piece of


sponge cake, topped with fondant and are approximately 25 millimeters (1
inch) square and about 40 millimeters (1.6 inches) high. The fondant which
tops the cake is often pastel in color, and commonly decorated with piped
icing flowers or other embellishments. The term petit four may also, however,
refer to any of a variety of small confections, especially in France.

While petit four can refer to any bite-sized sweet presented at the end
of a meal, they're usually tiny, beautifully iced cakes. Petit fours are
traditionally made with an almond sponge cake, or jaconde, but they can be
any flavor of cake--and filling--you choose.

With a seemingly infinite variety of shapes, flavors and decoration, you


can dress these little cakes up for a tea party, a bridal shower, or an elegant
luncheon. A tray full of delectable and beautiful petit fours turns any event
into an extraordinary occasion.

Petit fours, especially those sold in the United States, are often filled
with butter cream icing.

1. Petits fours secs (sec meaning "dry") include a variety of small
desserts, such as special dainty biscuits, baked meringues,
macaroons, and puff pastries.
2. Petits fours glacés (glacé meaning "iced") are iced or decorated in
some way, such as tiny cakes covered in fondant or glacé icing,
small éclairs, and tartlets. In a French patisserie, assorted small
desserts are usually called mignardises, while hard, buttery
biscuits are called petit fours.

3. petits fours salés (sale meaning "salted" or


"savoury"), which are bite-sized salted
appetizers usually served as part of cocktail
parties or buffets Petit fours were
traditionally made during the cool down
process of brick ovens fired by coal fuel in
the 18th century. Coal heat is hard to
control as it burns much hotter than wood,
and at the time was much more expensive
so waste of the heat generated was not an option.

Sponges and bases

A génoise (zhehn-WAHZ), or sponge cake, acts like exactly that: a


sponge. It is meant to absorb flavored syrups and liqueurs, resulting in
moist, flavorful cakes. An almond jaconde is delicious, but you can also use
pound cake or any sturdy, fine-crumbed cake that can stand up to filling,
cutting, and decorate.

Once your cakes are baked and cooled, they can be wrapped well and
frozen for up to one month. Thaw the wrapped cakes at room
temperature.
 Use a long serrated knife to split the cakes into layers. You can
measure the sides and mark them with toothpicks to help guide the
knife; gently saw your way through.
 Cover cake layers with plastic wrap until you're ready to assemble
them.

 Always use flavored syrup to soak your sponge cake layers. Use a
pastry brush and be generous.
 Simple Syrup
 Brandy Simple Syrup

Once you've applied the syrup, you can spread on the filling: jams, butter creams, lemon
curd, and raspberry curd all make delicious fillings.

The Assembly

Once your cake layers are filled, the simplest


decorating technique for petit fours is to glaze the top
of the whole cake, and then cut it into shapes. This
will, however, leave the sides unsealed, so the little
cakes can dry and become stale in a very short time.

 If you wish to glaze the tops and sides of your


petit fours, arrange the cut shapes (squares,
diamonds, or other shapes made with cookie
cutters) on a cooling rack set over a rimmed
baking sheet.
 Using a measuring cup, pour the warm glaze
over and around the sides of each cake, using a
small spatula or knife to reach all the bare spots.
 Any extra glaze can be scraped off the baking
sheet, reheated, and re-applied. (Strain the glaze if it's full of crumbs.)

White or dark chocolate glazes and poured fondant work especially


well for petit fours because they dry to a smooth, shiny surface. (If you
substitute white chocolate for dark, use about fifty percent more white
chocolate.) .

If you like the almond flavor of marzipan, a thin layer of marzipan


between the cake and the glaze provides a glass-smooth, crumb-free surface
for decorating.

INFORMATION SHEET 5.1-2
Underlying Principles in Preparing Iced Petit Fours
Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
a. identify different techniques in making iced petit fours
b. understand the different principles in making iced petit fours

Petit fours glacés (iced petit fours), or tiny cakes, are made in a variety
of ways: with a single layer of cake or several layers of cake sandwiched with
marzipan, jam, ganache, pastry cream or other choices before covering with
a glaze.
1. To make Petit fours glacés, a dense cake recipe or mix holds up best.
A Genoise, or Sponge cake, baked in a sheet pan is typically used,
although a Pound Cake (even from a baking mix) will also answer the
purpose, as long it's sturdy. Petit fours can be made with any flavor cake,
though white and chocolate the most common.
2. The final assembled cake's height should be ideally no thicker than an
inch, including fillings.
For example, a recipe may require 3 thin layers of sponge cake, each about
1/4" thick while others are made from seven thin layers of delicate cake and
crème fillings that are carefully coated and hand decorated. The cake can be
made ahead of time and frozen. Assemble petit fours at least 4 hours before
serving or the day before.
3. When baking the cake recipe for the petit fours, no special cake pans are
required.
When baking the larger cake; a 9 inch round or square pan will work just
fine, but the most commonly used pan is a sheet pan.
For petit fours, fill the jelly roll pan with cake batter only enough to cover
the bottom of the pan, about 1/4-inch thick to 1/2-inch thick depending on
what you are making. After baking these sheets can be frozen and then
finished later.
4. After making the cake in a sheet pan, freeze it before making the
Petit fours, even if it's a quick stay overnight -- freezing will tighten the
crumb of the cake, making it easier to cut and frost them.
(Keep cake in pan and cover with plastic wrap, then foil and freeze or
cut cake into large pieces). When ready to finish the cake, remove it from the
freezer, trim and fill the cake, prepare the icing and then cut into shapes.

Let the filled cake thaw before icing and decorating. (When filling a cake with
jam or a nondairy filling, you can freeze it afterwards. There's no need to
thaw when you take it from the freezer and cut into shapes. However, you
need to let the cut cake pieces thaw before you ice and decorate them).
5. When the large cake has cooled completely, before cutting it into smaller
pieces for petit fours, you can fill it.
First, cut it in half horizontally. A serrated knife works well for this;
gently saw your way through. Lay one sheet of cake on the back of a
parchment lined flat sheet pan. Brush the liqueur over the cut sides, and
then fill with a thin layer of jelly (about 1/8-inch) heated until warm making
it easier to spread. A creamy filling sprinkled with chopped nuts is also
good. Try Butter cream Frosting, Almond Filling, or Chocolate Meringue
Frosting. Repeat with the remaining layer(s).

6. Flip the entire cake upside down, remove the top sheet pan, and
wrap the entire cake and bottom sheet pan with plastic wrap.
Now place a flat sheet pan on top. Weigh this sheet pan down with a
couple of heavy pots. This procedure assures the layers are firmly sealed
together, and will make cutting into portions easier when done later. Chill
the cake for several hours to overnight before cutting and glazing.

7. Using a serrated knife, trim of the edges of the cake and cut the cake into
an even rectangle.
Cut into individual cake squares or diamonds, 1 1/2 by 2 inches
with a sharp, serrated knife or Petit fours cutters. I find that an electric
knife works perfectly. Cookie cutters with simple shapes, such as rosettes or
rounds, as well as petit four cutters can also be used to cut the cake.
8. Place the glazing rack (wire cake rack) over a parchment or waxed paper
lined sheet pan.
Place a few Petit fours on it about 1-1/2 inches apart. Using a spoon,
piping bag, or fondant funnel, slowly pour the fondant or glaze over each
piece letting the excess drip down the sides of the cake. Using a small offset
spatula quickly spread the frosting evenly over the sides of the cakes.
Scrape up drippings and re-use. It is important to completely cover the
exposed surfaces with glaze or fondant, or pour icing to prevent drying.
Ideally, you should faintly see the cake layers through the fondant or glaze.
9. Another way is to use a fork and pick up one of the petit fours. Hold it
over a small bowl of poured fondant.

Using a teaspoon, quickly pour it over the petit four until fully covered.
Now slide the bottom of the petit four over the side of the bowl to remove any
excess Fondant. Now slide the dipped petit four onto the wire rack.

Techniques on How to Make Iced Petit Four

Petit fours add an elegant touch to any occasion.


Petit fours are bite-sized individual cakes that are typically served at cocktail
and dinner parties, baby and wedding showers or during an elegant tea
service. Petit fours are usually elaborately decorated with different color
icings and decorations depending upon the theme of the event. For example,
petit fours for a wedding may be iced and designed to look like a wrapped
present with a bow. It can be difficult to ice petit fours because of their small
sizes. There are simple techniques available that will make icing petit fours a
lot easier.
Instructions

1. Mix the icing. For a basic icing that will


ice 60 petit fours, combine 9 cups of
confectioners’ sugar, 1/2 cup of water, 1/2
cup of light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon of
almond extract and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
extract.

2. Heat the mixture over a double boiler.


Set water to boil in the bottom pan. Pour the
icing mixture into the top pan of the double
boiler. Heat until lukewarm.

3. Place petit fours on a wire rack with a clean sheet pan underneath.

4. Pour the icing over the cakes. Using a large spoon, pour the icing over
each cake generously until it falls on the top of the cakes and spills onto the
sides for even covering. Allow the icing to cool on the cake. Scrape up the

icing that has dripped onto the pan and place it back in the boiler to reuse.
Pour a second coating of icing onto the cakes.

Factors to be considered in
preparing petit fours

1. Fillings

Many people love the taste of


fruit and cake together, so fruit fillings
are a popular choice for layering petit
fours. Raspberry, apricot, strawberry
and cherry have strong flavors that
won't be overpowered by the sweet
cake. Choose a pound cake for lemon meringue or orange fillings and pair
berries with chocolate cake. Because the cakes are so small, avoid using any
type of preserve that has large chunks of fruit in it.

2. Inside Icing

Another way of layering petit fours is to use a type of butter-, egg- or


shortening-based icing as the filling. This can be common butter cream
icing, which can be homemade or store-bought, or something more
complicated like a maple glaze, chocolate ganache or Bavarian rum filling.
You can flavor the icings in numerous ways to complement the petit fours,
such as using a "cream" filling like coffee cream, honey cream or mousse.

3. Plain Cake

You don't actually have to fill these little treats with anything -- you
can leave the cake intact, without layers. Simply choose the type of cake you
want, cut it into cubes, then ice the outside with butter cream or cover it in
marzipan to keep the final layer of icing adhered to the cake inside.

4. No Cake

Though traditional petit fours have cake as the base of the delicacy,
you can also use other sweet concoctions. Cut firm cheesecake into tiny
cubes, cover them in icing and decorate them like petit fours. Pecan pie
filling needs only a little more flour to hold its shape and then it, too, can

serve as the center of petit fours. Sometimes these small decorated cubes
contain a substance more like candy than cake, such as chocolate truffle,
nougat, marzipan or almond paste. Very occasionally, chefs will make small
cookie-like cubes, somewhere between candy and cake, to cover and
decorate as petit fours.

Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to
a. identify the different kinds of choux pastries
b. prepare choux pastry
KINDS OF CHOUX PASTRIES
Choux pastry

Often known as a paste, choux pastry differ from all other types of
pastry; it is much softer in texture, and is piped or spooned onto a
dampened baking sheet rather than being rolled out. It has many uses, both
sweet and savory. Success in making it begins with accurate measurement.
Make certain that the butter has melted before the water starts to boil, and
that the water is boiling when the flour is added. Do not open the oven door
until at least three-quarters of the cooking time has lapsed.

Puff pastries

These the lightest and the richest of all the pastries and rises in the most
dramatic way. It is also the most difficult to make. Homemade puff pastries
are unrivaled for their taste and texture; however, readymade puff pastry
can be purchased which rises well too.

The secret to a successful puff pastry lies in making the dough soft
enough to be elastic.

Petit fours are a traditional French treat that are used to


supplement a dessert. Over time, these treats, which are roughly translated
as "small oven" in French, have been used as gifts and desserts for events
such as baby showers, weddings and Christmas. There are many ways to
make petit fours, but one of the most common is covering the cakes with a
layer of fondant so as to create a soft outer shell over the cake.

The puff pastries can be filled and assembled to form Profiteroles,


Croquembouche (stacks of profiteroles glued together with caramel),
gateaux St.-Honoré, etc.

In Italy, Puff Pastries filled with custard are often stacked in a tall

pyramidal shape. Chocolate is poured on the stack before being decorated
with whipped cream.
Puff Pastries can also be filled with savory mousse or cream to make
delicious appetizers.
Precautions in preparing puff pastries:
1) The quantity of egg should be just right. If the recipe calls for 4 eggs,
add the first 3 and the last a little at the time in order to control the
consistency. Too much egg will cause the panade to be too liquid and unable
to hold its shape when is baked. The panade needs to be cooked carefully
until smooth and dry. If it is undercooked, the ingredients may be unevenly
mixed, and it could retain too much moisture.
2) Make the preparation very quickly. Piping and baking the panade
immediately while still warm will help lightness and expansion) .Bake the
pastries until they are crisp, dry, and golden. If the pastries are
undercooked, they could collapse when removed from the oven. Also, it is
preferable to cool the pastries slowly in the oven
3. Bake for about 35 minutes or until well puffed and golden. Shut off
the heat, open the oven half way, and let the puffs cool slowly and dry for
about 1 hour. The puffs may collapse if they are cooled too fast.
Pate Sucree (sweet pie pastry)
This famous French pastry is crisp and thin when baked. It is used for
the most delicate sweet tarts. Like pate brisee only the fingertips- of one
hand – should be used in mixing and it is made on a board. Because it is
very soft when made, it must be wrapped and thorough chilled for at least
an hour after preparation or it will be difficult to roll out .It must be rolled in
a non- stick parchment or plastic wrap. Alternatively, it may be pressed into
the pans by hand patching any little cracks with additional small pieces of
pastry.

MARZIPAN
Marzipan is an almond and sugar paste that is used to ice cakes
and other pastries or sculpted into a variety of shapes to be eaten as candy
or used as cake decorations. It is simply a mixture of almond
paste, powdered sugar, and a moistening agent such as water,corn
syrup, glucose, fondant, or egg whites. After the ingredients are mixed, the
paste reaches a consistency of dough or soft rubber and can be rolled,
shaped, cut, or molded.

Marzipan is used to decorate cakes in other ways as well. Its soft, pliable
texture allows a decorator to shape it into three dimensional shapes such
as:

1. Flowers
2. Fruits
3. People, Or Animals.

Because marzipan is both delicious to eat on its own and simple to


make, it is often used both as the icing for cakes and as decoration. When
used to ice a cake, it is rolled into a thin sheet and draped over the cake,
usually with a fruit glaze applied between the cake and marzipan so that the
icing sticks more securely. Once draped over the cake, the sides of the sheet
are carefully smoothed down so that the icing is uniform and free of bubbles
or wrinkles.
Marzipan is used to decorate cakes in other ways as well. Its soft, pliable
texture allows a decorator to shape it into three dimensional shapes such as
flowers, fruits, people, or animals. The marzipan can be colored with food
dye or air brushed, and with the right techniques, a skilled artist can make
very realistic shapes. Using cookie cutters or a sharp knife, it can be cut
into shapes, letters and numbers, which are then attached to the sides or
top of a cake. These decorations add color, flavor, and texture to what might
otherwise be a plain cake.
Besides its role in cake icing and decorating, marzipan is popular as a
candy. Its sweet, nutty taste, all natural ingredients, and the often

whimsical shapes it can take make it a favorite among both children and
adults. This candy can be a simple block of sweet almond paste, but is also
found covered with granulated sugar, dipped in chocolate, or flavored. It is
sold in bite-sized pieces or larger blocks, as well as in the shape of fruits,
animals, and special holiday shapes like Santa Claus or jack-o-lanterns.
Marzipan can be purchased pre-made in many baking shops and candy or
grocery stores. Cooks can also buy almond paste to make their own by
mixing equal parts of the paste with powdered sugar, and then slowly
working in a small amount of corn syrup until the mixture has a soft,
slightly dry, dough-like consistency. With their own marzipan, some food
coloring, a clean work surface, and some spare powdered sugar in case the
paste gets too sticky to work with, cooks can make their own candy in
whatever shapes they can imagine.

Difference Between Fondant And Marzipan


Although fondant and marzipan are both used in cake decoration and
candy making, they have distinct differences. Of the two types of fondant,
rolled and poured, rolled is used in cake decorating for professional, sleek-
looking cakes, whereas poured may be used as candy coatings or shaped
into candies itself. Marzipan is versatile enough to be used for cake coating
and candies. Fondant and marzipan both contain large amounts of
confectioner's sugar, but marzipan's main base is almond paste, so it has a
stronger flavor than fondant.

Both rolled and poured fondant use confectioner's sugar and light
corn syrup, but poured uses a melted confectionery coating or white
chocolate chips whereas rolled uses a gelatin or shortening. Rolled fondant
results in a pliable substance that can be rolled out and placed over iced
cakes for a sleek, even look or cut and shaped into decorations. Poured
fondant is a thick, but quick-drying, liquid mixture which can be poured
over candies or desserts or into molds to make candies.

To make rolled fondant, the shortening is mixed with the syrup, then
the vanilla and salt are added. The fondant is mixed into a dough and then
rolled into sheets to place over cakes. Poured fondant is created by stirring

sugar and syrup together with water and then adding a melted coating or
chocolate and other flavorings. The mixture then must be poured over
candies or into forms before it hardens.

Marzipan is made with almond paste as well as confectioner's sugar


and corn syrup. Since marzipan contains a large amount of almond paste, it
has a stronger, nuttier flavor than fondant. It has a soft, clay-like texture
and so can be rolled out or shaped into candies. There are two main
difference between poured fondant and marzipan, however. Poured fondant
needs a form to shape it into candies whereas marzipan can be worked into
a shape like clay, and marzipan is too thick to be poured as a coating.

Despite the fact that both rolled fondant and marzipan can be rolled
out to cover cakes, only marzipan can also be shaped into candies. Although
both fondant and marzipan are naturally white, food coloring can be added
to either. Overall, marzipan is more versatile, able to accomplish alone what
two types of fondant can.

 Other Countries use various shapes as traditional treats during


specific holiday seasons, varying from novelty New Year “good luck” pigs,
heart-shaped Valentine gifts, brightly-colored Easter eggs and other holiday
shapes to chocolate-covered marzipan loaves and bars. It's also used as
icing for wedding and Christmas cakes

Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to :
understand the standard procedures in coating marzipan.

Petit fours are a traditional French treat that are used to supplement
a dessert. Over time, these treats, which are roughly translated as "small
oven" in French, have been used as gifts and desserts for events such as
baby showers, weddings and Christmas. There are many ways to make petit
fours, but one of the most common is covering the cakes with a layer of
fondant so as to create a soft outer shell over the cake.
How to coat petit fours with marzipan
1. Roll out the marzipan so that it is approximately the same size as the
génoise. You may need to use a bit of flour so that it does not stick
to the rolling pin.
2. Brush a thin layer of simple syrup over the top of the marzipan so
that it is slightly sticky.
3. Place the marzipan over the top of the génoise with the sticky side
down, and cut off any parts of the marzipan that hang off the edge
with the shears so the marzipan is flush with the side of the génoise.
4. Place the génoise in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
5. Use the ruler to mark out 1 1/2-inch sections on the génoise cake. Do
this by using the knife to make small nicks at the edge of the cake on
the left and right sides and top and bottom.
6. Cut the génoise, using the marks that you have just made on either
side of the cake, into squares.
7. Take one of the cubes of génoise by holding the top (covered with
marzipan) and the bottom and dip each side into the European
fondant.
8. Place the cube onto the pastry rack and, using the icing spatula, take
a bit of the fondant and cover the remaining section on the top of the
marzipan.
9. Allow the petit fours to form an outer shell before serving.

To get the small Petit Fours use the trick cutting the pound cake into 1″
thick slices and with a round circle cutter you cut out the small cakes.

Then you place the small cakes on a wire rack with a baking tray
underneath to collect any leftover icing. Use a ladle to pour the icing over
the small cakes in a circular movement. Here it is important that you
quickly pour enough icing over the cakes because you want to seal the
cakes completely with the icing. If the icing is too thick at this stage you will
have problems with it harden before it have covered the small cakes all the
way to the bottom.

TIPS ON STORING PETIT FOURS

Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet you must be able to store
and package petit fours.

Storage of Petit Fours


In general, store Petit Fours as you would as a filled and frosted cake.
Always do a test beforehand to see how your combination of icing, frosting
and decorations holds up, especially if making large amounts for a special
occasion.
Petit Fours can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time. Let dry
completely before storing in an airtight container. Refrigerate if contains
perishable fillings and icings.
You can freeze Petit Fours unless it is covered in Fondant and/or
contains perishable dairy based items such as whipped cream, custards,
etc. (Fondant iced cakes become limp and sticky on thawing). Keep them in
their papers and place in a plastic square and airtight container suitable for
freezing. You can then just take them out as you need them. They should
keep well for about 30 days, but try and use earlier to prevent pastry from
absorbing freezer odors!

Store your Petit Fours in a card board box that is not completely
airtight or the icing can get sticky. The refrigerator will melt the icing

When candies have completely cooled after making them, they can be
stored in various ways. Keep different types of candy separate from one
another. Brittles soften if stored with creamy candies. Protect taffies,
caramels, nougats, and popcorn balls from dampness by wrapping them
individually in clear plastic wrap. Airtight storage in a cool place is best.
Some candies may be frozen, but avoid freezing those made with fruits and
nuts.
