Petite four

Ok. So today I made a couple of small layered cakes. Traditionally petite fours (petits fours) are made with very thin layers and covered with fondant or glace icing, today I made two slightly thicker layers and put them together with caramel.

To be honest, it didn't turn out exactly as I wanted. But it was a close enough product that I was happy. When I gave it my fiance to eat, well, I dunno if he tasted the love but he certainly liked it!

I've been wanting to do these for a while and today I finally got to. I am a big fan of butter cream icing, most of my cakes are finished with it, but because of the size of these cakes I had to go for a thinner icing mix. Pouring fondant would have been ideal but I wasn't going to play around with that today.

All in all. I think it looks pretty, and after reading over my shoulder my fiance says "Yes I DID taste the love"
