Pretty Petits Fours

last wednesday was caila's 12th birthday!

i was asked (more like volunteered) to make treats to celebrate.

they came out so cute that i just had to share with you

how to make easy, pretty petits fours:
cut frozen poundcake into 1-in cubes
spoon canned frosting into a bowl; tint with gel food color as desired
microwave frosting 10 to 15 seconds at a time until it's the consistency of heavy cream
with a fork, dip each cube into frosting to coat (let drip into bowl; tap fork to remove excess)
with a dull knife, slide frosted cake onto foil-lined baking sheet
decorate some with sprinkles
using tube of decorating icing pipe message on others

Ok those turned out so cute! I loved the ones in the magazine for Valentine's Day. You are so crafty, I could learn a thing or two from you!

I was just looking for a recipe for Petits Fours! (for a baby shower I'm doing) Yours sounds much easier than the recipe I found. Thanks!
