PETIT FOURS
Petit Fours refer to any bite-sized sweet presented at the end of a meal. They're usually tiny, beautifully iced cakes. The origin of these bite-sized cakes can be traced to the lavish 18th century court of Marie Antoinette. Luckily you need not be royalty to enjoy Petit Fours, for they are an affordable luxury and will make all occasions more memorable and special. Join Helen in this demo class as she prepares an infinite variety of shapes, flavors and decorations to dress these little cakes up for a tea party, a bridal shower, or an elegant luncheon.

BRUSH EMBROIDERY
Brush embroidery is an Australian technique in which designs are piped on the cake and then smoothed with a damp paintbrush to give the semblance of embroidery. It is an ideal method for duplicating the lace of a bride's dress on a wedding cake and looks exquisite white on white. However, it shows up more effectively where there is a contrast between cake color and 'embroidery', e.g., white on a colored background. In this hands-on class, you will complete and take home plaques with your samples.
