Look Ma'!
Look what I've taught myself how to make!
Oh, yeah. Just call me Betty.
This was one of the easiest little desserts to make!
In the February issue of Woman's Day (easy...my mom gave it to me...) they had a fantastic recipe on the front.
Petits fours:
Cut frozen pound cake into 1-inch cubes.
Spoon canned frosting into a bowl (stick with regular icing- not whipped), tint with gel food coloring as desired. Microwave frosting 10-15 seconds (I did 20) until it's the consistency of heavy cream.
(you may have to re-heat the icing several times throughout the icing process)
With a fork, dip each cube into frosting to coat. Let drip into bowl, tap fork to remove excess. (make sure the cube is coated all around)
With a dull knife, slide frosted cake onto foil lined baking sheet.
If using sprinkles, decorate immediately so they'll stick.
Using tube of decorating icing, pipe message on others.
I placed them in mini-cup cake paper holders. They stored great in the fridge.
They were definitely pretty tasty!!

Wouldn't that be fun to serve at a tea party for E's friends? I'm thinking about having a dress up (2nd wearing of the Easter dresses) tea party for her and her Sunday school friends. I love your little cakes. :)
