Almond Cake Petit Fours


Wednesday in class we made Almond Petit Fours, kind of like last week only with almond cake and this time no marzipan or dipped in chocolate. This time in between each layers I put apricot jam preserves just to try something new from last week. Almond cake was really hard to work with; it stuck to everything making the circles not as clean as I would like them to be.  While the cakes chilled we melted white chocolate, and added some coloring, I of course chose red and blue because.....Go team U.S.A.! Anyways, after that we cut those into circles and placed them on top of the cakes, and added a chocolate design. Next time I would like to grease my cookie cutters more, to make them cleaner, and make my chocolate and designs more consistent. Other than that I really like these petit fours!
