Served at my daughters bridal shower and the guests couldn't stop eating them. One guest asked for the recipe so I sent her the link. Delish!

These came out even better than expected. I made a half recipe to test for a bridal shower and the only change I would make is to add a little less sugar to the cake part since the jam and coating are both very sweet. The cake didn't take long at all to make and the recipe was overall easy and not very time consuming. I did try coating some with candy coating, but these ended up being too thick. I am still searching for the perfect coating, but the combo of almond paste and raspberry jam is just delicious.

I really loved this recipe. It tastes great. When you make Petit Fours, you definitely need patience and practice. This is not a quick and easy thing to make. Will definitely use this recipe again.

To those who want to make this gluten-free: ALMOND PASTE HAS WHEAT IN IT.
What a disappointment. They weren't as pretty as the picture, I got crumbs in my icing even though I didn't dip, and didn't taste good. I felt like I was at a tacky trying-to-act-upper-class-and-failing wedding.
The royal icing was really runny. I didn't have to heat it up; it ran right off the sides of the the squares. What I did was place a square on a salad fork then spoon icing on top until it was covered. Once it was done dripping I transferred it to a wire rack. They weren't anywhere NEAR as pretty as the picture...surprise, surprise.
On the bright side, I didn't have to make any altitude adjustments-mostly because I forgot! (and I live at 5200'
Next time I think I am going to try and add chocolate to them. Chocolate icing? Nutella v. Raspberry jam? I dunno.
I ended up making 1/3 of a recipe- 108? Are you serious?! No one needs that many, unless you're feeding an army.

honestly when you go to buy petit fours they can be two bucks a pop! although balduci's makes them by the dozen i love to make them myself. although they are difficult to make it can be fun to make especially if you have help from your food crazed friend like me. you have to love anne's recipes and her show.

Not worth the effort! I made these for a bridal shower and the end product is very cute, but simply not worth the effort. The cakes were too sweet, which I think is mostly because of the frosting. The frosting was the hardest part - it is hard to work with and difficult to get the appropriate amount of frosting on each cake. Most of my petit fours came out with way too much frosting, despite my constant attempts to get it the right consistency. I will definitely not make these again.

This was a terrific recipe - rave reviews both time I made them. I made a gluten free petit four the first time using half tapioca flour and half corn flour(NOT corn meal!. I like the texture better this way than the second try using regular flour and will make it in the future gluten free. While icing the 2nd batch, I experimented by putting a couple oz of grated white chocolate in and stirring until melted. This made the icing smoother and richer. I also used seedless raspberry jam for the filling and then for decoration, mixed a bit of the jam with the leftover royal icing and piped squiggles of this on the top of the petit fours for decoration. Pretty natural color and nice flavor. Thanks, Anne. Wonderful recipe - I enjoy baking with almond paste and this was a home run. I really enjoy your show!

I made these for a bridal shower and they were so beautiful. The almond cake is delicious. I used raspberry jam but I'll definitely try some other combinations. My royal icing started to get thick - even with it still on the burner - so I just added some water to keep the consistency right and it was perfect! Already got requests for more!
