11/3/18 Petit Fours for Sophie

11/3/18 While planning a baby shower for dear friends Mary Catherine and her new baby, Sophie, my friend Judy and I were creating a menu. Judy wanted Petit Fours for the occasion. Judy was our hostess for the event and is the mother and grandmother of the honorees.  Her source for Petit Fours was not available. We were thinking,,Hmmmm..who could we find to make these Petit Fours. It came to me in a flash: I am taking a Petit Fours class, I ought to be able to make them. I volunteered. Looking for recipes and video, I found recipes and a video with Martha Stewart. Can't go wrong with Martha Stewart! The recipe calls for a buttery pound cake. This was baked in a loaf pan and thinly sliced when done. Two slices were joined together with raspberry jam in between. The sandwiches were cut with a round cutter. Round shapes are a little easier to ice than a square shape. The rounds were not as even as I would like. Icing was poured over the rounds and drizzled with butter cream. The icing and butter cream drizzle seemed to even out the imperfections of the rounds. It was a very happy time for friends to meet Sophie and shower her with love and gifts!! Welcome to the world baby girl!!
