Petit fours (NOT "petifores" which is misspelled) are small cut pieces of cake which are covered with frosting and sometimes decorated after the icing/frosting is added. They can be single layer or multi-layered. Petit fours shapes can be made with cookie cutters and you can buy petit four cake pans to bake the cakes in.
"Petit" means "little" and "four" means "oven" in French.
petifores ( spelling may not be correct)
First you will need cake mix of any kind you choose. Second you will need the supplies that come in the directions of the cake mix. Third you will need to get a cookie sheet and mini cupcake wrappers and place them on the cookie sheet then you bake them. Fourth you will need frosting, in which you will need to melt some white chocolate or plain chocolate or just make so powdered sugar frosting and dip the petifores in it.Fifth, (optional) you can get some colored frosting and use it to make a design such as a small flower on the petifores in which they are already hardend. Finally you may enjoy!!!:)
A petifore is the misspelling of "petit fours". A petit four is a piece of cake with frosting covering the whole piece. So it is not pronounced pet-if-fore. The correct pronunciation is "pah-teet fores".
