Petit fours are small desserts but they are very labor intensive. The 3" fruit tart required Pate Sucree for the crust, pastry cream for the filling, sliced up fruit for the topping and apricot glaze for the preservative and sheen. The batter for the Spritz cookies was mixed a little too long so they spread in the oven and lost their shape. Ruined. Nuts. This block is definitely different than the mix, knead and wait world of bread....
