  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar sifted
  • 1/4 cup Milk adjust for consistency
For the White Glaze/Fondant
  • 1 cup White Chocolate melted
  • 1/4 cup Corn Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Food Coloring optional
For Topping
  • 1/2 cup Almond Slices

Equipment

  • Double Boiler or Microwave
  • Spatula

Method
 

Preparing the Petit Fours
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a square pan. Combine almond flour, eggs, granulated sugar, butter, and vanilla extract to make the almond cake batter. Pour into the pan and bake for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
  2. While the cake cools, prepare the buttercream by beating unsalted butter and powdered sugar until fluffy, then gradually adding milk until smooth. Spread a thin layer over each cooled cake piece.
  3. Melt white chocolate and corn syrup together until smooth. Dip each buttercream-coated cake piece into the white glaze until fully covered. Let excess glaze drip off and place on a wire rack to set.
  4. Press almond slices onto the glaze-coated petit fours for decoration. Ensure the glaze is tacky enough to hold the almonds.
  5. Allow the petit fours to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes. For a firmer finish, refrigerate for an additional 15 minutes before serving.
