INFORMATION SHEET 4.1-1
PREPARE AND DISPLAY PETIT FOUR GLACE
1. Prepare Petit Four Bases
Petit Fours glacé are generally either glazed with fondant or dipped in chocolate before
the final decoration is added.
The term glacé is also used to indicate any iced pastry. Such as a
small tartlet or those made from pate a choux or meringue.
They must be small enough to be consumed in one to two bites.
Small almond cakes may also be wrapped in marzipan or modelling
chocolate and served as petit fours.
Petit four bases can be made from any edible product.
Normal products used are:
 Sponge
 Cake
 Shortbread
 Pastry
 Chocolate
 Marzipan
 Choux pastry.
Main requirement of a petit four base is that it is strong enough to 'hold' the petit four
when it is picked up by the customer to be eaten.
Sponge
Normally sponge is baked in thin sheets and they are layered' together with flavoured
filling that will act as an adhesive to hold the sheets of sponge together.
The sponge sheets can be plain or flavoured.
The sheets can be just a carrier for the filling, especially chocolate.
When the sponge sheets are layer with the filling they are stored for
a period of time for the sheets and filling to bond and then the sheet
is cut into small pieces:
 Cut into a variety of shape
 Most economical is square or rectangular
 Half moon, triangular or diamond shape
 Round or oval is less efficient as there is more wastage with these shapes.
Cake
Cake can be baked in shallow trays of depths of 1-2cm,
topped with soft topping then cut to shape desired similar to
Sponge sheets.
Shortbread
A mixture of flour, fat and sugar, enriched with egg and has
a 'short' eating quality. A firmer variety of shortbread with a formula of 2:1:1.
 2 parts flour, 1 part sugar, 1 part butter or fat.
This formula produces a firmer shortbread that will resist the migration of moisture from
the filling to the base. It will then hold together better when the customer picks the petit
four up in their fingers.
Pastry
A savoury pastry like puff pastry can make a suitable base for petit fours when a sweet
filling is used.
Chocolate
When working with ganache, a soft mixture of chocolate and cream can be presented in
a base of hard chocolate. This chocolate has been melted and 'tempered' then spread
thinly onto parchment paper and allowed to set. At the point of
setting it is cut into shapes with a warmed metal knife or cutter.
Marzipan
Marzipan can be used as a base for petit fours.
Choux pastry
Choux pastry is made by boiling water and fat, adding flour and cooking panada.
As the panada cools, eggs are incorporated.
This batter is then piped to size and baked.
The baked cases are then filled with desired flavoured creams
then decorated.
The pieces are small.
Variety of filling is limited only by the imagination.
2. Cut and assemble bases for petit four glace
Bases for petit four glacé
Before you can assemble your petit fours the basic principle is the same.
Mise en place, ’everything in place’ before you start.
Normal
 Sponge sheets, plain vanilla flavour
 Binding agent, normally jam, apricot
Or
 Flavoured butter cream.
Chocolate
 Sponges sheets, chocolate
 Raspberry jam
Or
 Ganache.
Classical Opera cake
 Marzipan and butter enriched sponge sheets
 Ganache
 Coffee flavoured butter cream.
Normal Assembly
What is needed?
 Sponge sheets that are approximately 5mm thick, 3 or 4, depending on thickness
 When assembled the combined height will be approximately 3cm high (1.25
inches)
 Apricot jam, smooth texture, no lumps
 Baking paper 2 sheets.
Method of Assembly
 Lay 1 sponge sheet on a sheet of baking paper
 This is to make it easy to move around the bench
 Make sure the paper the sponge sheet was baked on is
removed
 Spread a thin layer of apricot jam over the sponge sheet
 Place a second sheet of sponge on top
 Press firmly into place
 Remove any loose sponge crumbs
 Spread a second layer of apricot jam thinly over sponge sheets
 Take a third sheet of sponge and turn over so bottom of sponge sheet is on top
 Lay sponge sheet on top and place 2nd sheet of paper on top and press sheets of
sponge firmly together
 Place a metal tray on top and allow layered sponge sheets and apricot jam to bond
 If using butter cream the product needs to be cooled so the butter cream sets firm
 Product needs to stand, while being weighted down for at least 2 hours
 Butter cream products need to stand in cool environment until they are firm.
Cut bases to the desired shape
The biggest shape that these petit fours are cut into is square.
Why? Less waste.
Any shape can be used but accuracy of cutting is essential. Minimising waste will
increase yield therefore profits increase.
 Size
 Variety of shapes
 Consistency in size and shape.
Shapes to cut
A lot of product can be lost when a curved shape is used. Up to 20%.
Triangle Shapes
Square cut
3. Prepare and flavor fillings to required consistency
Fillings will vary according to selling price, storage requirements and marketplace
requirements.
 Jams, various flavours
 Ganache
 Butter creams.
Jams
Jams are high in moisture and carry good flavours. There role is to
bind, add flavour and moisture to a product that is normally dry in
texture. These do not need refrigeration.
Jam needs to be blended until a smooth consistency is achieved,
no lumps, as they will tear at the fabric of the sponge sheet.
Ganache
Ganache is a mixture of chocolate and cream. It is well liked but it is
expensive to produce. Ganache will carry alcohol flavours well to add
interest to the petit fours.
These can stand in non refrigerated areas. Ganache needs to be
allowed to cool to room temperature and then blended until smooth.
When ganache is agitated it must be worked quickly as it will set.
Butter creams
Butter creams can be flavoured to desired standard adds good mouth feel and cuts well
when cold.
It needs to be chilled before cutting. It will then need to stand in non refrigerated
environment for short periods of time.
Butter creams are versatile for decorating the tops of petit fours as they can be flavoured
and easily piped. But it damages easily when at room temperature.
When butter cream is made it needs to be kept at a temperature that will not give
adverse reaction to customers.
To use butter cream it needs to be pliable and smooth.
4. Prepare petit four glace for glazing
Introduction
Glazing should include:
Jams
Jam can be used as a glaze but it needs to be applied when it is boiling. It needs to be
applied thinly and then given the opportunity to dry. Care needs to be taken when
cutting.
Creams
Creams make a food topping. If using fresh cream then the product
will need to be kept chilled and time spent at room temperature is
kept to a minimum.
Chocolate
Chocolate makes a good glaze but is difficult to cut. Structure can be
modified to make the cutting easier and make eating quality softer.
Modern techniques will spray chocolate to coat. Give interesting textural interest to
finished coating.
Fondant
Fondant is the classic enrobing agent. If it is tempered
correctly, it should give a brilliant shine to make eye appeal
to the customer.
Ganache
Ganache is excellent. Consistency can be adjusted to suit needs.
To apply any of these glazes the petit four needs to have sharp edges and smooth lines.
Surface needs to be dry and free of moisture. If the surface is not dry then the glaze may
not bind to the surface of the petit four.
5. Decorate petit four glace to enhance customer eye appeal
Introduction
Iced petit four glacé can be decorated after being iced to add:
 Wow factor
 Eye appeal
 Visual and textural diversity.
Classical decoration is piped chocolate motifs. Sometimes a bulb of butter cream is used
to raise the height of another decoration to be place on top.
 Piped chocolate is applied using a paper piping bag.
How to make a paper piping bag
Petit Four Designs
Decorative Designs
6. Display petitfour glace
Introduction
Petit Fours are normally served with coffee after the meal. Petit four sec is popular here
because they are sweet and do not need
refrigeration.
 Almond goods
 Small shortbreads.
Classical display in larger hotels would be on large
platters. Service staff would choose customer request
as required.
Variation on the equipment to display is immense. It
can be elaborate chocolate stands and toffee croquant stands.
Normally presented on small trays with a selection for the day.
 Not well displayed
 Insufficient space
 Wrong shaped plate
 Some product over baked.
Designing layout
 Displays need to be consistent in design
 Should have alternating profiles; different heights on
different products
 Shapes should alternate.

INFORMATION SHEET 4.2-1
PREPARE AND DISPLAY MARZIPAN BASED PETIT FOURS
1. Prepare and flavour marzipan
Marzipan is a sweetened mixture of ground almonds, liquid
glucose/eggwhites, corn syrup/sugar syrup and either icing sugar or
caster sugar. It is also known as almond paste.
Marzipan is very versatile paste. Petit Fours based on a marzipan are
attractive and popular for their colour and appearance and their delicate
pleasing taste.
Marzipan
Group Ingredients Quantity
A
Almond meal, blanched
Icing sugar
200g
275g
B
Brandy
Almond extract
1tsp
1 drop
C
Sugar syrup
Glucose, warm
100ml
+/- 40g
Method
1. Sift the icing sugar and combine ingredients from group A into a bowl
2. Add the ingredients from group B and gradually add the warm glucose
3. Knead unit it forms like a dough
4. Wrap tightly.
When the marzipan is made it needs to be stored and protected from the air. It will dry
and these dry pieces will have an unpleasant mouth feel if allowed to be incorporated
into the mix.
After making, marzipan can be prepared in several ways:
Piped or Cut Out Marzipan
Bake in a hot oven until golden brown. To bake marzipan it must have a higher
proportion of sugar. If the proportion of sugar is too high, the marzipan will boil instead of
bake. This will adversely affect the taste and appearance of the finish creation.
Marzipan Fancies
Using marzipan and adding different types of flavoured paste, nuts, liqueurs or preserved
fruits.
To stuff dates or prunes, marzipan is flavoured (vanilla, kirsch, rum) and /or coloured.
If too firm it can be softened with stock syrup.
Even sized pieces are cut from thin sausage shaped rolls, then rolled in the palm of the
hand first round, then elongated to fit the cavity of the fruit.
About ¼ to 1/5 of the marzipan should be visible. Pitted, firm and small dates or prunes
are stuffed with marzipan, and then rolled in the palm of the hand to smooth.
With the back of a small knife, three to four lines are marked on the marzipan that sticks
out of the date (prune).
The pieces are now rolled in caster sugar or after having dried, dipped into caramel.
For other varieties, even sized small flavoured and/or coloured pieces are shaped round,
then topped with a piece of glace pineapple or half glace cherry or walnut or pecan nut
halves, then rolled in sugar or caramelised.
To glace cherry haves or nut quarters are attached (lightly pressed on) to both sides of a
small ball of marzipan, then rolled in sugar or coated with caramel.
For display or service, they are set in little petit four paper cups.
Modelled Marzipan
Marzipan modelled into various fruit shapes and vegetable, then coloured and sealed.
To retain the eating quality and to extend the shelf life, the marzipan is sprayed with a
thin coat of cocoa butter (commercially available in a spray can).
Marzipan can absorb moisture or dry out so careful storage is essential.
 If it absorbs moisture it will become to dissolve
 If marzipan dries out it will begin to ferment.
To store marzipan, wrap it in plastic (cling) wrap and place it in an airtight container.
Hygiene
When working with marzipan, hygiene and cleanliness of equipment, utensils, work
space and hands are of the utmost importance.
Marzipan is a very versatile paste. Petits fours based on marzipan are attractive and
popular for their colourful and/or appetising appearance and their delicate pleasing taste.
2. Shape Marzipan
Introduction
They can be prepared in several ways:
 Marzipan modelled into various fruit shapes, then coloured and sealed
 Marzipan fancies, using flavoured marzipan with nuts or preserved fruit
 Piped marzipan, browned in a hot oven, coated with glaze while still hot.
Modelled marzipan
Quality modelling marzipan, left natural or flavoured (natural flavouring paste,
spirit/liqueur concentrates), is rolled into sausage shaped lengths of equal size and
thickness.
Cut into uniform small pieces (10–12 g), the marzipan is shaped into seamless round
balls.
Using the palm of the hands, the basic form of the fruit to be represented is
modelled next.
Marzipan modelling tools are used to further shape the pieces.
Modelling Tools: Prepare and display petit fours; ANTA 2003
The finished fruit is set on to greaseproof or silicon paper with very evenly spaced gaps
in between, to allow easy and even access for spraying with colour.
Powdered food colouring is mixed with clear spirit concentrate and sprayed on to the
marzipan fruits with an atomiser or air brush and then allowed to dry.
Banana shapes benefit from having a few fine brown lines brushed on, likewise some
varieties of apples and pears.
To retain the eating quality (and to extend shelf life) the marzipan is sprayed with a thin
coat of cocoa butter (commercially available in spray cans).
Using a small ball of cotton wool dipped into some dried-out starch, e.g. corn starch dried
in a warm oven with the oven door left ajar, peach and apricot shapes are gently dabbed
for a velvety appearance.
For display or service, the marzipan fruits are set into small petit four paper
cups and arranged attractively for service or display.
For storage, they keep quite well if covered for protection from dust and odours in a
cool and dry area.
When working with marzipan, hygiene and cleanliness of equipment, utensils, work
space and hands are of utmost importance.
A person suffering from sweaty palms (hands) must wear tight-fitting, thin plastic gloves
for good hygiene. Marzipan should be exposed to a minimum of handling.
Marzipan fancies
Marzipan is flavoured and/or coloured and used for
stuffing dates or prunes or topped with or
sandwiched between nuts and glace fruits.
To stuff dates or prunes, marzipan is flavoured
(vanilla, kirsch, rum, etc.) and/or coloured and if
rather firm, softened with a little stock syrup.
Even-sized pieces are cut from thin sausage
shaped rolls, then rolled in the palm of the hands
first round, then elongated to fit the cavity of the
fruit. About 1/4 to 1/5 of the marzipan used should be
visible.
 Pitted, firm and small dates or prunes are stuffed with the marzipan, then rolled in the
palm of the hand to smooth
 With the back of a small knife, three to four lines are marked onto the marzipan that
sticks out of the date (prune)
 The pieces are now rolled in caster sugar or after having dried, dipped into caramel.
For other varieties, even-sized small flavoured and/or coloured pieces are shaped round,
then topped with a piece of glace pineapple or half glace cherry or walnut or pecan nut
halves, then rolled in sugar or caramelised.
Similarly, two glace cherry halves or nut quarters are attached (lightly pressed on) to
both sides of a small ball of marzipan, then rolled in sugar or coated with caramel.
Remember:
 Pay particular attention to cleanliness and
hygiene
 Ensure uniformity in product size
 Always start with a seamless ball when
modelling marzipan
 Avoid excessive handling of marzipan
 Adjust marzipan consistency to be just pipeable
 Ensure correct oven temperature when
browning piped marzipan
 For display or service, they are set in little petit four paper cups.
3. Prepare marzipan for glazing
Prior to glazing marzipan to be dry. If the marzipan is still moist the glaze will not adhere
to the surface of the product.
Jams will need to be applied when boiling so the surface
will dry to touch when cool. If the jam is not boiling it will not
be ‘dry to touch’ when it has cooled.
Chocolate can be used but good tempering is required.
This is best applied to individual pieces that require no
cutting. Pure chocolate will crack when cut.
Ganache is a mixture of cream and chocolate.
A firmer mix can be applied to flavoured
marzipan and after it is dried it will then
‘cut’ well. If pure chocolate is used it may crack and look of
finished product will be diminished.
Fondant is good for glazing but the surface will need to be coated to stop the fondant
from soaking into the marzipan.
Food Lacquer and cocoa butter are available to use. Some are in spray aerosol cans
and some can be applied with a brush.
Gum Accacia (Gum Arabica) is an exudant from acacia trees in Northern Africa. It is
hardened gum on the outside of the tree.
Ground to fine white powder it is added to water and boiled. Apply to product while still
hot it will cool with a pleasing sheen.
 Add 1 part powder to 4-5 parts water
 It is difficult to dissolve and it must be bought slowly to the boil and it must be whisked
gently to break up any lumps
 When cool leave in clean container until needed
 Apply to hot product immediately upon removal from oven.
Remember:
 Application to hot product will evaporate off excess moisture and a nice sheen will
remain
 Application to cold product will make the product soggy.
Sugar water (syrup) does not make a good glaze for
marzipan products.
Toffee Candy is used to glaze flavoured marzipan when it is:
 Sandwiched between nuts
 Stuffed into dates.
The toffee candy (caramel) has a very short shelf life as it
attracts moisture from the air.
For this to be used it will have to be sprayed with food
grade lacquer from aerosol spray.
4. Decorate marzipan petit fours to enhance customer eye
appeal
Decorating the finished product add customer interest and 'eye' appeal. Most marzipan
petit fours would be decorated before they are glazed.
Chocolate
Chocolate can be applied directly to the finished product. This tends to be brittle and
breaks easily. Ganache that is firm can be applied and after it is set it can be cut if
needed.
Fondant icing
Fondant is sugar that is boiled to 114°C agitated or stirred as it is cooled. The clear
solution turns white and when it is smooth it needs to be sorted until cool and needed.
To use fondant (temper):
 Fondant when it is applied to any product it should 'shine' and
be touch dry when cool. Meaning it does not stick to the fingers
when touched
 To temper fondant it needs to be heated to 39°C over a bain-
marie
 To thin fondant to the degree you need sugar water (1:1) 1 suger-1water; boiled)
 This is used so the fondant will flow and have a seamless finish with no folds.
Fondant can be tempered to be very thin so minimal is used. All the time not allowing
temperature to rise over 42°C. If temperature rises too much above 32°C is will lose its
shine and look dull and unappealing.
Non-parrels
Small pieces of brightly coloured sugar candy that are used to
decorate cakes. Can be applied before baking or after coating with
glaze. Rarely used in this level of presentation.
Glace fruits
Glace fruits used to be a popular way of preserving fruits. Glace fruits are very stable at
room temperature and do not need refrigeration. The shine exuded comes from being
dipped in sugar solution many times and being allowed to dry before being dipped again.
There is a wide variety of glace fruits available. They will need to be cut to size and this
is very time consuming.
Also would normally be applied to marzipan before baking, glaze then applied to seal.
5. Display marzipan petitfours
Introduction
Attractively displayed petits fours are great product
for catching the customers’ attention.
They look most attractive when arranged neatly and
with thought given to the repetition or alternation of
shapes, colours and decorations.
Decorated petits fours (in particular the iced variety)
lend themselves to immaculate craftsmanship and
decorating skills.
To attract the respect for this work, a neat
uncluttered, clean and tidy display is essential.
This greatly affects the visual impact and
appreciation of the viewer and will tempt the
customer to indulge.
All varieties of petits fours are best if served fresh.
Displaying on ceramics plates and platters, glass
mirrors trays can look very effective in buffet style service.
Individual serves of 3-4 pieces per plate is for effective for modern coffee service.

INFORMATION SHEET 4.3-1
MARZIPAN PETIT FOURS
1. Prepare and base selection of petit four sec
Petit four 'sec' and. Petit four 'dry' - This was probably the first petit four style.
Shortbreads
 Small pieces baked in the oven.
Variation of this style is limitless.
 Plain butter shortbread with minimal flavour; vanilla
 Roasted nuts like almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, peanuts can
be added whole or chopped
 Spices can also be added to add to flavour.
When chilled shortbread can be cut from the disc or from formed blocks to desired shape
and thickness.
The dough can also be rolled out into sheets and multitude of shapes can be acquired
from special made cutters.
Doughs can be flavoured with spices, nuts and glace and dried fruits.
Before baking, doughs can be rolled in sugar or nuts.
When baked products are cooled the product can becan be finished by dipping in
chocolate, apply icing to surface and allow drying.
Puff pastry
Rolled, shaped and cut with sugar: palmiers.
Works well in warmer climate, but not humid climates.
Honey doughs
 Basel Leckerli; a honey dough filled with dried fruits and nuts, rolled flat
and baked then glazed with boiled sugar brushed on to leave white
sugar coating
 Gingerbreads; variety abounds, soft or hard, shapes variable
 Can be baked and cut to shape making delightful petit four sec.
Meringue products, flavoured and baked can also be used as petit four
sec.
 Japonaise; meringue, with ground nuts added and piped to shape, baked then
decorated.
2. Prepare and flavour fillings to requiredconsistency
Fillings for petit fours
Ganache
Ganache can be used as a filling between shortbread pieces or
sheets of shortbread that are then cut to size, its use is varied and
can be utilised in many ways.
Ganache can be flavoured with alcohol or no alcohol flavourings,
roasted chopped nuts can be added. It is stable at room
temperature and can be adapted to work in warm, humid climates
as well.
Jam
Jam is piped onto one piece then another piece is placed ontop and 2 pieces bond.
Butter cream
Butter cream will sit at room temperature for several days. It colours well and
can be flavoured with anything of your choice.
Marzipan
Marzipan can be used as a filling. Normally blended with:
 Flavouring
 Colouring
 Softening agent such sugar water.
Sugar water needs to be added in moderation and if left for too long fermentation can
occur.
Dried fruits
When added to binding agents they make flavoursome fillings for many
pastries.
 Roasted nuts and dried fruits bound in small amounts of jam work well in
shortbread
 Dried fruits mixed into marzipan also add interest.
Ingredients with low water activity make the best fillings. Too much moisture
will soften the dry pastry and make them less palatable to customer.
3. Prepare petit four sec for glazing
Petit four sec can be served plain or glazed.
Glazing can take place:
 Before they go into the oven or
 After they are baked.
Effect of Glazing
Glazing will give sheen to the finished products:
 Egg wash applied before baking will give a pleasing eye appeal to the finished
product
 Sugar applied before the baking process will give textural crunch to the baked
product. If baked at high enough temperature it will caramelise and give a clear finish
 Boiled sugar applied after the baking process (basel leckeli) will set to a dry touch
and add flavour to product
 Gum Acacia (Gum Arabica) applied while baked gingerbread is
still hot will give a pleasing sheen to the cooled product
 Ganache applied correctly give an appealing finish
 Fondant is versatile, can be coloured, flavoured and if prepared
correctly looks appealing and will stand at room temperature for
several days.
For glazing to be applied to the petit fours before or after baking the product needs to be
dry and free from foreign objects.
Crumbs for cutting will get stuck in the glaze and ruin the eye appeal of the finished
product.
4. Decorate petit four sec to enhance customer eye appeal
Introduction
Decorations need to add eye appeal and also
should be in keeping with the theme of the product.
Decorations should be:
 Simple
 Small
 Easy to apply.
Decorations can be:
 Roasted nut slivers or portions
 Candied fruit portions
 Piped ganache.
Decorations for petit four sec need to be simple to be in keeping with the term 'sec' (dry).
If they get too complicated then the product become too difficult to handle.
 Keep them simple.
5. Display petitfour sec
Introduction
Petit for 'sec' worst enemy is moisture from the air.
Fresh petit four sec should be crisp to the bite and if allowed to stand exposed for too
long in the open will lose that crispness and be dull to eat.
Petit four 'sec' are best displayed:
 Long rows on plates or platters
 If served individually they should be placed on plates evenly spaced
 3-4 pieces per person is normal.
If they have been out on display and not consumed then they are then discarded.
As per Food Safety Plan (FSP) requirements, any food that has been on display or
served to customers and not consumed then it needs to be discarded because
'control' has been lost.
Attractively displayed petits fours are great
product for catching the customers’
attention.
They look most attractive when arranged
neatly and with thought given to the
repetition or alternation of shapes, colours
and decorations.
Decorated petits fours (in particular the iced variety) lend themselves to immaculate
craftsmanship and decorating skills.
To attract the respect for this work, a neat uncluttered, clean and tidy display is essential.
This greatly affects the visual impact and appreciation of the viewer and will tempt the
customer to indulge.
All varieties of petits fours are best if served fresh.
Displaying on ceramics plates and platters, glass mirrors trays can look very effective in
buffet style service.
Individual serves of 3-4 pieces per plate is for effective for modern coffee service.

INFORMATION SHEET 4.4-1
PREPARE AND DISPLAY CARAMELIZED PETIT FOURS
1. Select fruits/nuts
Introduction
Caramelised sugar can be used to 'glaze' petit fours before they are served.
Caramelised petit fours have a very short shelf life unless the sugar is sprayed with
lacquer after it is applied. Sugar breaks down when it stands for too long at room
temperature.
'Breaks down' is a term used to describe the action of moisture from the air attaching
itself to the sugar and dissolving the sugar. The surface becomes sticky and the sugar
just runs off the product.
Caramelised petit fours are mainly roasted nuts and dried fruits with marzipan.
Any product that is going to be coated with caramel will need to be dry in texture.
Strawberry and grapes can be dipped in caramel but only have a life span of a couple of
hours. 30-40 minutes is best.
The main problem here is the moisture from the
inside of the fruit weeps out and the hard caramel
falls off of the product.
Caramelised nuts and marzipan work better as
the product is dry and will carry the caramel
better. Even here the life span is only a few hours
unless a food lacquer is applied.
Dried fruits can be caramelised with success as
there is low moisture content.
When fresh fruit is dipped the moisture inside
‘boils’ and structure of the fruit just under the skin
breaks down and the resulting moisture weeps
through the skin and releases the caramelised
sugar from the surface.
Dried fruits stuffed with flavoured marzipan or other dried fruit and sugar/flavour mixtures
are excellent candidates for coating with caramel.
The caramel will hold longer as the product is lower in ‘water’.
Fresh dates and dried apricots stuffed with flavoured marzipan.
Nuts like walnuts should be chosen for their whole halves, no chips of breakages to the
nut piece. Two walnut halves with a ball of flavoured marzipan between.
2. Prepare products
 To caramelise the product it needs to be on a tray.
 All the products need to be clean and dry for the caramel to adhere.
 Any fruit that is to be dipped in caramel needs to be dry and its skin needs to be
intact.
 Orange segments needs to have all string and pith removed.
 Grapes need to be in small clusters of 2 or 1.
 Nuts should be slightly roasted; raw nuts have a diminished flavour to them.
 To dip in caramel product and equipment needs to be prepared before the making
of the caramel.
 Having a prepared surface to place the caramel dipped product is also important.
An oiled surface will allow the caramel to cool and then not bond to the surface.
 If hot caramel is placed onto an unprepared surface it will stick to the surface. The
product will then crack when attempting to remove the
product from that surface.
3. Prepare coating for fruits
Caramel is sugar that is cooked until it reaches a temperature of 156°C when it begins to
colour. As the temperature increases so does the colour.
Caramel that has reached a temperature of 175°C is burnt, it will have the very dark,
almost black colour and from this point on it loses sweetness and becomes bitter.
To make the caramel
 Dissolve a portion of sugar in some water; 4 parts sugar to 1 part water
 Slowly heat until boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar before solution boils
 When solution reaches boiling point add 10% liquid glucose of sugar weight
 Stir gently to dissolve glucose
 Skim any scum that rises to the top
 Wash sides of pot down with pastry brush and cold water
 Allow solution to cook until temperature reaches 160ºC
 Do not stir the solution while it boils as this may cause crystallisation to occur
 As solution rises above 160ºC it will begin to change colour to light amber colour
 When solution has coloured to desired caramel colour, remove from heat and arrest
the cooking process
 Arrest the cooking process by placing base of pot into cold water
 Leave in cold water until solution stops boiling
 Now the solution is ready to use.
Speed and efficiency is needed here because as the solution cools the caramel becomes
thicker and harder to work.
4. Coat caramelized petit fours
Dip the product into the hot caramel.
To do this takes some expertise.
Take a dipping fork into oil and then pick up the product and let it drop into the toffee.
Use the oil covered parts of the fork to roll the product in the hot caramel and then
remove the product from the hot caramel and the caramel covered product should slide
off the fork onto the prepared surface that has been smeared with oil to prevent sticking.
Allow caramel to cool before removing to paper cup for storage.
Some product can be dipped by holding bottom of product and dipping
2/3 of the product into hot caramel. Care needs to be taken here as the
danger of burning fingers is high.
Hold product above caramel and allow excess to flow back into pot. Sit
product on oiled surface to cool.
Recommendation:
When working with hot caramel at is advisable to have a bowl of cold water next to you.
If the hot caramel touches the human skin it will cause very bad damage.
Do not try to wipe the hot caramel off as it will just cause more damage.
Place the affected area into the cold water. This will cool and set the caramel. It can then
be peeled off with minimal damage to skin surface.
 The damage is already done and blisters will ensure.
This technique is about minimising further damage to other parts of the body.
 Trying to wipe the hot toffee off with the other hand only burns the other hand
 Placing finger into mouth only burns the tongue and roof of mouth.
Where would you rather have the blister?
 On tip of finger or inside your mouth?
5. Display caramelizedpetitfours
 Attractively displayed petits fours are great product for catching the customers’
attention.
 They look most attractive when arranged neatly and with thought given to the
repetition or alternation of shapes, colours and decorations.
 To attract the respect for this
work, a neat uncluttered, clean
and tidy display is essential.
 This greatly affects the visual
impact and appreciation of the
viewer and will tempt the
customer to indulge.
 All varieties of petits fours are
best if served fresh.
 Displaying on ceramics plates
and platters, glass, mirrors, trays
can look very effective in buffet style service.
 Individual serves of 3-4 pieces per plate is for effective for modern coffee service.
 Caramelised petit fours need to be served fresh and in paper containers. This
makes it easy for the customer to handle them.

INFORMATION SHEET 4.5-1
STORE PETIT FOURS
1. Store at correct temperature and conditions
 All prepared petit fours will suffer from too much moisture in the environment.
 A cool dry closed environment is best for storage of all petit fours except those
that contain perishable ingredients like
fresh cream.
 Caramelised petit four will have a short life
span as the caramel is hydroscopic and
attracts moisture from the air. This
moisture causes the sugar to soften and
dissolve.
 Product like fruit, grapes and strawberries
will ooze moisture from their internal
structure causing the caramel to dislodge
from the surface of the fruit.
 This is caused by the fact that the moisture just under the surface of the skin boils,
breaking the cellular structure of the fruit and the moisture held inside seeps
through the damaged skin.
 90% of petit fours need cool dry environment for storage.
2. Maintain maximum eating quality,appearance and
freshness
 It is a mistake to produce more than can be used in defined periods. It may be
more economically viable to produce large numbers of a certain product.
 To maintain freshness petit fours need to be finished as needed.
 Part processing can be achieved like making shortbread and freezing.
 Then bake as needed. But this does take space and time in freezer.
 The best way to have fresh petit fours is to produce them regularly and as
needed.
 Protect finished petit four from adverse conditions to maintain structural integrity
by enclosing in food safe containers.

Prepare Petit Four Bases Petit Fours glacé are generally either glazed with fondant or dipped in chocolate before the final decoration is added. The term glacé is also used to indicate any iced pastry. Such as a small tartlet or those made from pate a choux or meringue. They must be small enough to be consumed in one to two bites. Small almond cakes may also be wrapped in marzipan or modelling chocolate and served as petit fours. Petit four bases can be made from any edible product. Normal products used are:  Sponge  Cake  Shortbread  Pastry  Chocolate  Marzipan  Choux pastry. Main requirement of a petit four base is that it is strong enough to 'hold' the petit four when it is picked up by the customer to be eaten. Sponge Normally sponge is baked in thin sheets and they are layered' together with flavoured filling that will act as an adhesive to hold the sheets of sponge together. The sponge sheets can be plain or flavoured. The sheets can be just a carrier for the filling, especially chocolate. When the sponge sheets are layer with the filling they are stored for a period of time for the sheets and filling to bond and then the sheet is cut into small pieces:  Cut into a variety of shape  Most economical is square or rectangular  Half moon, triangular or diamond shape  Round or oval is less efficient as there is more wastage with these shapes.
  • 8. Cake Cake can be baked in shallow trays of depths of 1-2cm, topped with soft topping then cut to shape desired similar to Sponge sheets. Shortbread A mixture of flour, fat and sugar, enriched with egg and has a 'short' eating quality. A firmer variety of shortbread with a formula of 2:1:1.  2 parts flour, 1 part sugar, 1 part butter or fat. This formula produces a firmer shortbread that will resist the migration of moisture from the filling to the base. It will then hold together better when the customer picks the petit four up in their fingers. Pastry A savoury pastry like puff pastry can make a suitable base for petit fours when a sweet filling is used. Chocolate When working with ganache, a soft mixture of chocolate and cream can be presented in a base of hard chocolate. This chocolate has been melted and 'tempered' then spread thinly onto parchment paper and allowed to set. At the point of setting it is cut into shapes with a warmed metal knife or cutter. Marzipan Marzipan can be used as a base for petit fours. Choux pastry Choux pastry is made by boiling water and fat, adding flour and cooking panada. As the panada cools, eggs are incorporated. This batter is then piped to size and baked. The baked cases are then filled with desired flavoured creams then decorated. The pieces are small. Variety of filling is limited only by the imagination. 2. Cut and assemble bases for petit four glace Bases for petit four glacé Before you can assemble your petit fours the basic principle is the same. Mise en place, ’everything in place’ before you start.
  • 9. Normal  Sponge sheets, plain vanilla flavour  Binding agent, normally jam, apricot Or  Flavoured butter cream. Chocolate  Sponges sheets, chocolate  Raspberry jam Or  Ganache. Classical Opera cake  Marzipan and butter enriched sponge sheets  Ganache  Coffee flavoured butter cream. Normal Assembly What is needed?  Sponge sheets that are approximately 5mm thick, 3 or 4, depending on thickness  When assembled the combined height will be approximately 3cm high (1.25 inches)  Apricot jam, smooth texture, no lumps  Baking paper 2 sheets. Method of Assembly  Lay 1 sponge sheet on a sheet of baking paper  This is to make it easy to move around the bench  Make sure the paper the sponge sheet was baked on is removed  Spread a thin layer of apricot jam over the sponge sheet  Place a second sheet of sponge on top  Press firmly into place  Remove any loose sponge crumbs  Spread a second layer of apricot jam thinly over sponge sheets  Take a third sheet of sponge and turn over so bottom of sponge sheet is on top
  • 10.  Lay sponge sheet on top and place 2nd sheet of paper on top and press sheets of sponge firmly together  Place a metal tray on top and allow layered sponge sheets and apricot jam to bond  If using butter cream the product needs to be cooled so the butter cream sets firm  Product needs to stand, while being weighted down for at least 2 hours  Butter cream products need to stand in cool environment until they are firm. Cut bases to the desired shape The biggest shape that these petit fours are cut into is square. Why? Less waste. Any shape can be used but accuracy of cutting is essential. Minimising waste will increase yield therefore profits increase.  Size  Variety of shapes  Consistency in size and shape. Shapes to cut A lot of product can be lost when a curved shape is used. Up to 20%.
  • 11. Triangle Shapes Square cut 3. Prepare and flavor fillings to required consistency Fillings will vary according to selling price, storage requirements and marketplace requirements.  Jams, various flavours  Ganache  Butter creams. Jams Jams are high in moisture and carry good flavours. There role is to bind, add flavour and moisture to a product that is normally dry in texture. These do not need refrigeration. Jam needs to be blended until a smooth consistency is achieved, no lumps, as they will tear at the fabric of the sponge sheet. Ganache Ganache is a mixture of chocolate and cream. It is well liked but it is expensive to produce. Ganache will carry alcohol flavours well to add interest to the petit fours. These can stand in non refrigerated areas. Ganache needs to be allowed to cool to room temperature and then blended until smooth. When ganache is agitated it must be worked quickly as it will set. Butter creams
  • 12. Butter creams can be flavoured to desired standard adds good mouth feel and cuts well when cold. It needs to be chilled before cutting. It will then need to stand in non refrigerated environment for short periods of time. Butter creams are versatile for decorating the tops of petit fours as they can be flavoured and easily piped. But it damages easily when at room temperature. When butter cream is made it needs to be kept at a temperature that will not give adverse reaction to customers. To use butter cream it needs to be pliable and smooth. 4. Prepare petit four glace for glazing Introduction Glazing should include: Jams Jam can be used as a glaze but it needs to be applied when it is boiling. It needs to be applied thinly and then given the opportunity to dry. Care needs to be taken when cutting. Creams Creams make a food topping. If using fresh cream then the product will need to be kept chilled and time spent at room temperature is kept to a minimum. Chocolate Chocolate makes a good glaze but is difficult to cut. Structure can be modified to make the cutting easier and make eating quality softer. Modern techniques will spray chocolate to coat. Give interesting textural interest to finished coating. Fondant Fondant is the classic enrobing agent. If it is tempered correctly, it should give a brilliant shine to make eye appeal to the customer. Ganache Ganache is excellent. Consistency can be adjusted to suit needs. To apply any of these glazes the petit four needs to have sharp edges and smooth lines. Surface needs to be dry and free of moisture. If the surface is not dry then the glaze may not bind to the surface of the petit four.
  • 13. 5. Decorate petit four glace to enhance customer eye appeal Introduction Iced petit four glacé can be decorated after being iced to add:  Wow factor  Eye appeal  Visual and textural diversity. Classical decoration is piped chocolate motifs. Sometimes a bulb of butter cream is used to raise the height of another decoration to be place on top.  Piped chocolate is applied using a paper piping bag. How to make a paper piping bag
  • 16. 6. Display petitfour glace Introduction Petit Fours are normally served with coffee after the meal. Petit four sec is popular here because they are sweet and do not need refrigeration.  Almond goods  Small shortbreads. Classical display in larger hotels would be on large platters. Service staff would choose customer request as required. Variation on the equipment to display is immense. It can be elaborate chocolate stands and toffee croquant stands. Normally presented on small trays with a selection for the day.  Not well displayed  Insufficient space  Wrong shaped plate  Some product over baked. Designing layout  Displays need to be consistent in design  Should have alternating profiles; different heights on different products  Shapes should alternate.

  • 21. INFORMATION SHEET 4.2-1 PREPARE AND DISPLAY MARZIPAN BASED PETIT FOURS 1. Prepare and flavour marzipan Marzipan is a sweetened mixture of ground almonds, liquid glucose/eggwhites, corn syrup/sugar syrup and either icing sugar or caster sugar. It is also known as almond paste. Marzipan is very versatile paste. Petit Fours based on a marzipan are attractive and popular for their colour and appearance and their delicate pleasing taste. Marzipan Group Ingredients Quantity A Almond meal, blanched Icing sugar 200g 275g B Brandy Almond extract 1tsp 1 drop C Sugar syrup Glucose, warm 100ml +/- 40g Method 1. Sift the icing sugar and combine ingredients from group A into a bowl 2. Add the ingredients from group B and gradually add the warm glucose 3. Knead unit it forms like a dough 4. Wrap tightly. When the marzipan is made it needs to be stored and protected from the air. It will dry and these dry pieces will have an unpleasant mouth feel if allowed to be incorporated into the mix. After making, marzipan can be prepared in several ways: Piped or Cut Out Marzipan Bake in a hot oven until golden brown. To bake marzipan it must have a higher proportion of sugar. If the proportion of sugar is too high, the marzipan will boil instead of bake. This will adversely affect the taste and appearance of the finish creation.
  • 22. Marzipan Fancies Using marzipan and adding different types of flavoured paste, nuts, liqueurs or preserved fruits. To stuff dates or prunes, marzipan is flavoured (vanilla, kirsch, rum) and /or coloured. If too firm it can be softened with stock syrup. Even sized pieces are cut from thin sausage shaped rolls, then rolled in the palm of the hand first round, then elongated to fit the cavity of the fruit. About ¼ to 1/5 of the marzipan should be visible. Pitted, firm and small dates or prunes are stuffed with marzipan, and then rolled in the palm of the hand to smooth. With the back of a small knife, three to four lines are marked on the marzipan that sticks out of the date (prune). The pieces are now rolled in caster sugar or after having dried, dipped into caramel. For other varieties, even sized small flavoured and/or coloured pieces are shaped round, then topped with a piece of glace pineapple or half glace cherry or walnut or pecan nut halves, then rolled in sugar or caramelised. To glace cherry haves or nut quarters are attached (lightly pressed on) to both sides of a small ball of marzipan, then rolled in sugar or coated with caramel. For display or service, they are set in little petit four paper cups. Modelled Marzipan Marzipan modelled into various fruit shapes and vegetable, then coloured and sealed. To retain the eating quality and to extend the shelf life, the marzipan is sprayed with a thin coat of cocoa butter (commercially available in a spray can). Marzipan can absorb moisture or dry out so careful storage is essential.  If it absorbs moisture it will become to dissolve  If marzipan dries out it will begin to ferment. To store marzipan, wrap it in plastic (cling) wrap and place it in an airtight container. Hygiene When working with marzipan, hygiene and cleanliness of equipment, utensils, work space and hands are of the utmost importance. Marzipan is a very versatile paste. Petits fours based on marzipan are attractive and popular for their colourful and/or appetising appearance and their delicate pleasing taste.
  • 23. 2. Shape Marzipan Introduction They can be prepared in several ways:  Marzipan modelled into various fruit shapes, then coloured and sealed  Marzipan fancies, using flavoured marzipan with nuts or preserved fruit  Piped marzipan, browned in a hot oven, coated with glaze while still hot. Modelled marzipan Quality modelling marzipan, left natural or flavoured (natural flavouring paste, spirit/liqueur concentrates), is rolled into sausage shaped lengths of equal size and thickness. Cut into uniform small pieces (10–12 g), the marzipan is shaped into seamless round balls. Using the palm of the hands, the basic form of the fruit to be represented is modelled next. Marzipan modelling tools are used to further shape the pieces. Modelling Tools: Prepare and display petit fours; ANTA 2003 The finished fruit is set on to greaseproof or silicon paper with very evenly spaced gaps in between, to allow easy and even access for spraying with colour.
  • 24. Powdered food colouring is mixed with clear spirit concentrate and sprayed on to the marzipan fruits with an atomiser or air brush and then allowed to dry. Banana shapes benefit from having a few fine brown lines brushed on, likewise some varieties of apples and pears. To retain the eating quality (and to extend shelf life) the marzipan is sprayed with a thin coat of cocoa butter (commercially available in spray cans). Using a small ball of cotton wool dipped into some dried-out starch, e.g. corn starch dried in a warm oven with the oven door left ajar, peach and apricot shapes are gently dabbed for a velvety appearance. For display or service, the marzipan fruits are set into small petit four paper cups and arranged attractively for service or display. For storage, they keep quite well if covered for protection from dust and odours in a cool and dry area. When working with marzipan, hygiene and cleanliness of equipment, utensils, work space and hands are of utmost importance. A person suffering from sweaty palms (hands) must wear tight-fitting, thin plastic gloves for good hygiene. Marzipan should be exposed to a minimum of handling. Marzipan fancies Marzipan is flavoured and/or coloured and used for stuffing dates or prunes or topped with or sandwiched between nuts and glace fruits. To stuff dates or prunes, marzipan is flavoured (vanilla, kirsch, rum, etc.) and/or coloured and if rather firm, softened with a little stock syrup. Even-sized pieces are cut from thin sausage shaped rolls, then rolled in the palm of the hands first round, then elongated to fit the cavity of the fruit. About 1/4 to 1/5 of the marzipan used should be visible.  Pitted, firm and small dates or prunes are stuffed with the marzipan, then rolled in the palm of the hand to smooth  With the back of a small knife, three to four lines are marked onto the marzipan that sticks out of the date (prune)  The pieces are now rolled in caster sugar or after having dried, dipped into caramel. For other varieties, even-sized small flavoured and/or coloured pieces are shaped round, then topped with a piece of glace pineapple or half glace cherry or walnut or pecan nut halves, then rolled in sugar or caramelised. Similarly, two glace cherry halves or nut quarters are attached (lightly pressed on) to both sides of a small ball of marzipan, then rolled in sugar or coated with caramel.
  • 25. Remember:  Pay particular attention to cleanliness and hygiene  Ensure uniformity in product size  Always start with a seamless ball when modelling marzipan  Avoid excessive handling of marzipan  Adjust marzipan consistency to be just pipeable  Ensure correct oven temperature when browning piped marzipan  For display or service, they are set in little petit four paper cups. 3. Prepare marzipan for glazing Prior to glazing marzipan to be dry. If the marzipan is still moist the glaze will not adhere to the surface of the product. Jams will need to be applied when boiling so the surface will dry to touch when cool. If the jam is not boiling it will not be ‘dry to touch’ when it has cooled. Chocolate can be used but good tempering is required. This is best applied to individual pieces that require no cutting. Pure chocolate will crack when cut. Ganache is a mixture of cream and chocolate. A firmer mix can be applied to flavoured marzipan and after it is dried it will then ‘cut’ well. If pure chocolate is used it may crack and look of finished product will be diminished. Fondant is good for glazing but the surface will need to be coated to stop the fondant from soaking into the marzipan. Food Lacquer and cocoa butter are available to use. Some are in spray aerosol cans and some can be applied with a brush. Gum Accacia (Gum Arabica) is an exudant from acacia trees in Northern Africa. It is hardened gum on the outside of the tree. Ground to fine white powder it is added to water and boiled. Apply to product while still hot it will cool with a pleasing sheen.  Add 1 part powder to 4-5 parts water  It is difficult to dissolve and it must be bought slowly to the boil and it must be whisked gently to break up any lumps  When cool leave in clean container until needed
  • 26.  Apply to hot product immediately upon removal from oven. Remember:  Application to hot product will evaporate off excess moisture and a nice sheen will remain  Application to cold product will make the product soggy. Sugar water (syrup) does not make a good glaze for marzipan products. Toffee Candy is used to glaze flavoured marzipan when it is:  Sandwiched between nuts  Stuffed into dates. The toffee candy (caramel) has a very short shelf life as it attracts moisture from the air. For this to be used it will have to be sprayed with food grade lacquer from aerosol spray. 4. Decorate marzipan petit fours to enhance customer eye appeal Decorating the finished product add customer interest and 'eye' appeal. Most marzipan petit fours would be decorated before they are glazed. Chocolate Chocolate can be applied directly to the finished product. This tends to be brittle and breaks easily. Ganache that is firm can be applied and after it is set it can be cut if needed. Fondant icing Fondant is sugar that is boiled to 114°C agitated or stirred as it is cooled. The clear solution turns white and when it is smooth it needs to be sorted until cool and needed. To use fondant (temper):  Fondant when it is applied to any product it should 'shine' and be touch dry when cool. Meaning it does not stick to the fingers when touched  To temper fondant it needs to be heated to 39°C over a bain- marie  To thin fondant to the degree you need sugar water (1:1) 1 suger-1water; boiled)  This is used so the fondant will flow and have a seamless finish with no folds.
  • 27. Fondant can be tempered to be very thin so minimal is used. All the time not allowing temperature to rise over 42°C. If temperature rises too much above 32°C is will lose its shine and look dull and unappealing. Non-parrels Small pieces of brightly coloured sugar candy that are used to decorate cakes. Can be applied before baking or after coating with glaze. Rarely used in this level of presentation. Glace fruits Glace fruits used to be a popular way of preserving fruits. Glace fruits are very stable at room temperature and do not need refrigeration. The shine exuded comes from being dipped in sugar solution many times and being allowed to dry before being dipped again. There is a wide variety of glace fruits available. They will need to be cut to size and this is very time consuming. Also would normally be applied to marzipan before baking, glaze then applied to seal. 5. Display marzipan petitfours Introduction Attractively displayed petits fours are great product for catching the customers’ attention. They look most attractive when arranged neatly and with thought given to the repetition or alternation of shapes, colours and decorations. Decorated petits fours (in particular the iced variety) lend themselves to immaculate craftsmanship and decorating skills. To attract the respect for this work, a neat uncluttered, clean and tidy display is essential. This greatly affects the visual impact and appreciation of the viewer and will tempt the customer to indulge. All varieties of petits fours are best if served fresh. Displaying on ceramics plates and platters, glass mirrors trays can look very effective in buffet style service. Individual serves of 3-4 pieces per plate is for effective for modern coffee service.

  • 32. INFORMATION SHEET 4.3-1 MARZIPAN PETIT FOURS 1. Prepare and base selection of petit four sec Petit four 'sec' and. Petit four 'dry' - This was probably the first petit four style. Shortbreads  Small pieces baked in the oven. Variation of this style is limitless.  Plain butter shortbread with minimal flavour; vanilla  Roasted nuts like almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, peanuts can be added whole or chopped  Spices can also be added to add to flavour. When chilled shortbread can be cut from the disc or from formed blocks to desired shape and thickness. The dough can also be rolled out into sheets and multitude of shapes can be acquired from special made cutters. Doughs can be flavoured with spices, nuts and glace and dried fruits. Before baking, doughs can be rolled in sugar or nuts. When baked products are cooled the product can becan be finished by dipping in chocolate, apply icing to surface and allow drying. Puff pastry Rolled, shaped and cut with sugar: palmiers. Works well in warmer climate, but not humid climates. Honey doughs  Basel Leckerli; a honey dough filled with dried fruits and nuts, rolled flat and baked then glazed with boiled sugar brushed on to leave white sugar coating  Gingerbreads; variety abounds, soft or hard, shapes variable  Can be baked and cut to shape making delightful petit four sec. Meringue products, flavoured and baked can also be used as petit four sec.  Japonaise; meringue, with ground nuts added and piped to shape, baked then decorated.
  • 33. 2. Prepare and flavour fillings to requiredconsistency Fillings for petit fours Ganache Ganache can be used as a filling between shortbread pieces or sheets of shortbread that are then cut to size, its use is varied and can be utilised in many ways. Ganache can be flavoured with alcohol or no alcohol flavourings, roasted chopped nuts can be added. It is stable at room temperature and can be adapted to work in warm, humid climates as well. Jam Jam is piped onto one piece then another piece is placed ontop and 2 pieces bond. Butter cream Butter cream will sit at room temperature for several days. It colours well and can be flavoured with anything of your choice. Marzipan Marzipan can be used as a filling. Normally blended with:  Flavouring  Colouring  Softening agent such sugar water. Sugar water needs to be added in moderation and if left for too long fermentation can occur. Dried fruits When added to binding agents they make flavoursome fillings for many pastries.  Roasted nuts and dried fruits bound in small amounts of jam work well in shortbread  Dried fruits mixed into marzipan also add interest. Ingredients with low water activity make the best fillings. Too much moisture will soften the dry pastry and make them less palatable to customer. 3. Prepare petit four sec for glazing Petit four sec can be served plain or glazed. Glazing can take place:
  • 34.  Before they go into the oven or  After they are baked. Effect of Glazing Glazing will give sheen to the finished products:  Egg wash applied before baking will give a pleasing eye appeal to the finished product  Sugar applied before the baking process will give textural crunch to the baked product. If baked at high enough temperature it will caramelise and give a clear finish  Boiled sugar applied after the baking process (basel leckeli) will set to a dry touch and add flavour to product  Gum Acacia (Gum Arabica) applied while baked gingerbread is still hot will give a pleasing sheen to the cooled product  Ganache applied correctly give an appealing finish  Fondant is versatile, can be coloured, flavoured and if prepared correctly looks appealing and will stand at room temperature for several days. For glazing to be applied to the petit fours before or after baking the product needs to be dry and free from foreign objects. Crumbs for cutting will get stuck in the glaze and ruin the eye appeal of the finished product. 4. Decorate petit four sec to enhance customer eye appeal Introduction Decorations need to add eye appeal and also should be in keeping with the theme of the product. Decorations should be:  Simple  Small  Easy to apply. Decorations can be:  Roasted nut slivers or portions  Candied fruit portions  Piped ganache. Decorations for petit four sec need to be simple to be in keeping with the term 'sec' (dry). If they get too complicated then the product become too difficult to handle.
  • 35.  Keep them simple. 5. Display petitfour sec Introduction Petit for 'sec' worst enemy is moisture from the air. Fresh petit four sec should be crisp to the bite and if allowed to stand exposed for too long in the open will lose that crispness and be dull to eat. Petit four 'sec' are best displayed:  Long rows on plates or platters  If served individually they should be placed on plates evenly spaced  3-4 pieces per person is normal. If they have been out on display and not consumed then they are then discarded. As per Food Safety Plan (FSP) requirements, any food that has been on display or served to customers and not consumed then it needs to be discarded because 'control' has been lost. Attractively displayed petits fours are great product for catching the customers’ attention. They look most attractive when arranged neatly and with thought given to the repetition or alternation of shapes, colours and decorations.

  • 41. INFORMATION SHEET 4.4-1 PREPARE AND DISPLAY CARAMELIZED PETIT FOURS 1. Select fruits/nuts Introduction Caramelised sugar can be used to 'glaze' petit fours before they are served. Caramelised petit fours have a very short shelf life unless the sugar is sprayed with lacquer after it is applied. Sugar breaks down when it stands for too long at room temperature. 'Breaks down' is a term used to describe the action of moisture from the air attaching itself to the sugar and dissolving the sugar. The surface becomes sticky and the sugar just runs off the product. Caramelised petit fours are mainly roasted nuts and dried fruits with marzipan. Any product that is going to be coated with caramel will need to be dry in texture. Strawberry and grapes can be dipped in caramel but only have a life span of a couple of hours. 30-40 minutes is best. The main problem here is the moisture from the inside of the fruit weeps out and the hard caramel falls off of the product. Caramelised nuts and marzipan work better as the product is dry and will carry the caramel better. Even here the life span is only a few hours unless a food lacquer is applied. Dried fruits can be caramelised with success as there is low moisture content. When fresh fruit is dipped the moisture inside ‘boils’ and structure of the fruit just under the skin breaks down and the resulting moisture weeps through the skin and releases the caramelised sugar from the surface. Dried fruits stuffed with flavoured marzipan or other dried fruit and sugar/flavour mixtures are excellent candidates for coating with caramel. The caramel will hold longer as the product is lower in ‘water’. Fresh dates and dried apricots stuffed with flavoured marzipan. Nuts like walnuts should be chosen for their whole halves, no chips of breakages to the nut piece. Two walnut halves with a ball of flavoured marzipan between.
  • 42. 2. Prepare products  To caramelise the product it needs to be on a tray.  All the products need to be clean and dry for the caramel to adhere.  Any fruit that is to be dipped in caramel needs to be dry and its skin needs to be intact.  Orange segments needs to have all string and pith removed.  Grapes need to be in small clusters of 2 or 1.  Nuts should be slightly roasted; raw nuts have a diminished flavour to them.  To dip in caramel product and equipment needs to be prepared before the making of the caramel.  Having a prepared surface to place the caramel dipped product is also important. An oiled surface will allow the caramel to cool and then not bond to the surface.  If hot caramel is placed onto an unprepared surface it will stick to the surface. The product will then crack when attempting to remove the product from that surface. 3. Prepare coating for fruits Caramel is sugar that is cooked until it reaches a temperature of 156°C when it begins to colour. As the temperature increases so does the colour. Caramel that has reached a temperature of 175°C is burnt, it will have the very dark, almost black colour and from this point on it loses sweetness and becomes bitter. To make the caramel  Dissolve a portion of sugar in some water; 4 parts sugar to 1 part water  Slowly heat until boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar before solution boils  When solution reaches boiling point add 10% liquid glucose of sugar weight  Stir gently to dissolve glucose  Skim any scum that rises to the top  Wash sides of pot down with pastry brush and cold water  Allow solution to cook until temperature reaches 160ºC  Do not stir the solution while it boils as this may cause crystallisation to occur  As solution rises above 160ºC it will begin to change colour to light amber colour
  • 43.  When solution has coloured to desired caramel colour, remove from heat and arrest the cooking process  Arrest the cooking process by placing base of pot into cold water  Leave in cold water until solution stops boiling  Now the solution is ready to use. Speed and efficiency is needed here because as the solution cools the caramel becomes thicker and harder to work. 4. Coat caramelized petit fours Dip the product into the hot caramel. To do this takes some expertise. Take a dipping fork into oil and then pick up the product and let it drop into the toffee. Use the oil covered parts of the fork to roll the product in the hot caramel and then remove the product from the hot caramel and the caramel covered product should slide off the fork onto the prepared surface that has been smeared with oil to prevent sticking. Allow caramel to cool before removing to paper cup for storage. Some product can be dipped by holding bottom of product and dipping 2/3 of the product into hot caramel. Care needs to be taken here as the danger of burning fingers is high. Hold product above caramel and allow excess to flow back into pot. Sit product on oiled surface to cool. Recommendation: When working with hot caramel at is advisable to have a bowl of cold water next to you. If the hot caramel touches the human skin it will cause very bad damage. Do not try to wipe the hot caramel off as it will just cause more damage. Place the affected area into the cold water. This will cool and set the caramel. It can then be peeled off with minimal damage to skin surface.  The damage is already done and blisters will ensure. This technique is about minimising further damage to other parts of the body.  Trying to wipe the hot toffee off with the other hand only burns the other hand  Placing finger into mouth only burns the tongue and roof of mouth. Where would you rather have the blister?  On tip of finger or inside your mouth?
  • 44. 5. Display caramelizedpetitfours  Attractively displayed petits fours are great product for catching the customers’ attention.  They look most attractive when arranged neatly and with thought given to the repetition or alternation of shapes, colours and decorations.  To attract the respect for this work, a neat uncluttered, clean and tidy display is essential.  This greatly affects the visual impact and appreciation of the viewer and will tempt the customer to indulge.  All varieties of petits fours are best if served fresh.  Displaying on ceramics plates and platters, glass, mirrors, trays can look very effective in buffet style service.  Individual serves of 3-4 pieces per plate is for effective for modern coffee service.  Caramelised petit fours need to be served fresh and in paper containers. This makes it easy for the customer to handle them.

  • 49. INFORMATION SHEET 4.5-1 STORE PETIT FOURS 1. Store at correct temperature and conditions  All prepared petit fours will suffer from too much moisture in the environment.  A cool dry closed environment is best for storage of all petit fours except those that contain perishable ingredients like fresh cream.  Caramelised petit four will have a short life span as the caramel is hydroscopic and attracts moisture from the air. This moisture causes the sugar to soften and dissolve.  Product like fruit, grapes and strawberries will ooze moisture from their internal structure causing the caramel to dislodge from the surface of the fruit.  This is caused by the fact that the moisture just under the surface of the skin boils, breaking the cellular structure of the fruit and the moisture held inside seeps through the damaged skin.  90% of petit fours need cool dry environment for storage. 2. Maintain maximum eating quality,appearance and freshness  It is a mistake to produce more than can be used in defined periods. It may be more economically viable to produce large numbers of a certain product.  To maintain freshness petit fours need to be finished as needed.  Part processing can be achieved like making shortbread and freezing.  Then bake as needed. But this does take space and time in freezer.  The best way to have fresh petit fours is to produce them regularly and as needed.  Protect finished petit four from adverse conditions to maintain structural integrity by enclosing in food safe containers.
