Introduction
Petit fours translated literally means “little ovens” and are sweet one bite deserts served with coffee at the end of a meal. This is a perfect class or activity for an afternoon or after dinner as a team bonding exercise; learning professional petit fours which can be enjoyed after your team meal or to take home as a sweet treat.
Event Outline
- Guests will be greeted by our chef and host, this will be followed by dividing the group in to small teams to work together and produce 3 to 5 varieties of petit fours depending on your time restraints.
- Our chef will begin with a demonstration on making the base materials for the petit fours to include pastry work and chocolate work, guests will taste, shape, mould, dip, and decorate luxury petit fours using their new-found patisserie skills.
- To conclude watch your guests smile as they elegantly gift wrap their goodies to take home with pulled bow ribbons and gift boxes. Each guest will be expected to make approximately 20 petit fours each.
- Sample menu — Marx de Champagne truffles, poppy and lemon madeleines, pistachio macaroons, seasonal fruit tartlets, malakoff
