Finally, I finished the mother’s day treats: petits fours!  Tiny, double-layer cherry chip cakes covered in poured fondant, each with a mum on top made of royal icing.

I baked them using a bite-size cake/brownie mold:

Once cooled, I cut off the tops to level the mini cakes.  Then, for each petit four, I stuck two of the mini cakes together with pink icing:

I made the mums with pink royal icing ahead of time, and stuck them in the fridge to harden.  And finally, last night, I made the poured fondant to cover the cakes with:

Oh, and I tried one.  I had to make sure they turned out well, of course.

Mmmm.

Enjoy your mum’s day!
