Fondant Fancies which also known as Petits fours are fanciful cakes traditionally eaten at teatime. In fact, the name Petit Four translate as “small oven” They often have multiple thin layers of cake; with a fruit glaze in the middle, covered in fondant or icing and usually adorned with intricate decorations. My iced version of Petits Fours is a cotton sponge cake with vanilla buttercream in the middle and covered in white chocolate. I found that buttercream and white chocolate is a great alternative for those who find the fruit glaze and fondant or icing slightly too sweet. I hope that you will enjoy the recipe :) FULL RECIPE: Instagram: Facebook: #petitfour #fondantfancies #bembumkitchen In this video list of tools and ingredients that I used in creating this project ♥ Cameras: Fujifilm X-T3 Mirrorless ♥ Tripod: VILTROX VX-18M ♥ Microphone: Rode NT-USB ♥ Camera Field Monitor: FEELWORLD T7 7 Inch ♥ Peggy Porschen Book: ♥ Baking: Hand Mixer (cordless): Pastel Saucepan: Silicone Baking Matt: Palette Knife/ Spatula: Enamel Mixing Bowl: Cooling Rack: Blue Pan: Straight Frill Cutter: Turquoise Clay tool: Cutting Board: Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl with Handle: White Silicone Spatula: Pink Knife: Leaf Petal Veiner: Oven Mitt: Candy Colour Blue: Candy Colour Green: Disclaimer: Some of the above links are affiliate links from which I receive a small commission on each sale at no extra cost to you.
