Learning Outcome # 1
Before the final decoration is applied, the Petit Fours glacé are usually glazed in fondant
or dipped in chocolate.
Any iced pastry is known as glacé. Small tartlets composed with pate a choux or
meringue, for example.
They need to be tiny enough to eat in one or two bites.
Petit fours can also be made by wrapping small almond cakes in marzipan or
modeling chocolate.
Any edible food can be used to make the bases for petit fours.
Normal products used are:
Sponge
Cake
Shortbread
Pastry
Chocolate
Marzipan
Choux pastry.
The most important feature of a petit four base is that it can 'hold' the petit four
when it is lifted up by the consumer to be eaten.

Shortbread
A'short' eating quality flour, fat, and sugar mixture supplemented with egg.
Shortbread with a 2:1:1 ratio that is stiffer.
• 2 tblsp flour, 1 tblsp sugar, 1 tblsp lard
This recipe makes a firmer shortbread that won't absorb moisture from the filling.
When the consumer picks up the petit four in their fingers, it will stick together
much better.
Pastry
When a sweet filling is utilized, a savory pastry like puff pastry can be used as a base
for petit fours.
Chocolate
A soft blend of chocolate and cream can be placed in a hard chocolate substrate when
dealing with ganache. This chocolate was melted and tempered before being spread
thinly onto parchment paper and hardened. It is cut into forms

Choux pastry
Choux pastry is produced by heating lard and water together, then adding flour and
cooking panada.
As the panada cools, the eggs are added.
After that, the batter is piped to size and cooked.
After that, the baked cases are filled with the proper flavoring creams and then adorned.
The parts are all quite little.
Chocolate
Sponges sheets, chocolate
Raspberry jam
Or
Ganache.
Method of Assembly
Lay 1 sponge sheet on a sheet of baking paper
This is to make it easy to move around the bench
Make sure the paper the sponge sheet was baked on is
removed
Spread a thin layer of apricot jam over the sponge sheet
Place a second sheet of sponge on top
Press firmly into place
Remove any loose sponge crumbs
Spread a second layer of apricot jam thinly over sponge sheets
Take a third sheet of sponge and turn over so bottom of sponge sheet is on top
Lay sponge sheet on top and place 2 nd sheet of paper on top and press sheets of sponge
firmly together
Place a metal tray on top and allow layered sponge sheets and apricot jam to bond
If using butter cream the product needs to be cooled so the butter cream sets firm
Oval Shape
Triangle Shapes
Square cut
Fillings will vary according to selling price, storage requirements and marketplace
requirements.
Jams, various flavours
Ganache
Butter creams.
Jams
Jams have a lot of moisture and have a lot of flavor. Their job is to
bind, flavor, and moisten a product that would otherwise be dry.
These don't need to be refrigerated.
The jam should be blended until it has a smooth consistency, with no
lumps, as they will rip the sponge sheet's fabric.
Ganache
Ganache is a chocolate and cream combination. It is popular, yet it is
costly to create. Ganache will take on the flavors of the bourbon well,
adding interest to the petit fours.
These can be kept in a non-refrigerated environment. Allow the
ganache to cool to room temperature before blending until smooth.
When agitating ganache, work rapidly because it will set.
Butter creams
Butter creams can be flavored to taste, have a pleasant mouthfeel, and cut
beautifully when cold.
Introduction
Glazing should include:
Jams
Jam can be used as a glaze, but it must be applied while the pot is on the stove. It should
be applied thinly and let to dry before using. When cutting, extreme caution is required.
Creams
Creams are used as a meal garnish. If you're using fresh cream, keep it
refrigerated and limit the amount of time it spends at room
temperature..
Chocolate
A good glaze is chocolate, but it's difficult to cut. It is possible to
change the structure to make cutting easier and the eating quality to
be softer. Spraying chocolate to coat is a modern technique. Give the completed
coating a unique textural appeal..
Fondant
The classic enrobing agent is fondant. If properly tempered,
it should have a brilliant shine that appeals to the
customer's eyes.
Ganache
Ganache is fantastic. Consistency can be tweaked to fit your requirements.
The petit four must have crisp edges and smooth lines in order to apply any of
these glazes.
The surface must be completely dry and devoid of moisture. The glaze may not
adhere to the surface of the petit four if the surface is not completely dry.
Introduction
After a dinner, Petit Fours are typically served with coffee. Petit four sec is popular in this
region since it is sweet and does not require
refrigeration.
Almond goods
Small shortbreads.
In larger hotels, a traditional exhibition would be on
enormous platters. Customer requests would be
chosen by the service team as needed.
The variety of equipment on show is enormous.
Expensive chocolate stands and toffee croquant stands are examples.
Usually served in little platters with a daily selection.
Not well displayed
Insufficient space
Wrong shaped plate
Some product over baked.

products
