Petit Fours


This season event desserts seem to be trending toward petit fours. These tiny sweets in a variety of flavors and styles are being requested for weddings more than ever.  Ideal for a cocktail reception, they pair really well with Champagne, sparkling wine selections and cocktails.  Guests love them because they are just one-bite, easy to eat while mingling, glass in hand.  Hosts love the look of the display with so many choices to sample.  And we love them in the kitchen because it's fun to be creative with the little cakes and cookies.  We can feel free to be as generous as we like with frosting and filling, it never hurts a petit four.
 
New this year at Bridgewaters and Twenty Four Fifth, an expanded menu of petit fours is available for everything from bridal shower to wedding day.  Below we have photos showing off some of our latest beauties.  And with the latest crops of heirloom apples in tiny varieties like the pink lady, candy apples have joined the list of available petit fours.

The best seller so far this season: mini frangipane cakes, wrapped like a tiny gift in fondant, a moist, almond cake layered with orange marmalade.  They are always the first to disappear from the table.

Others include:
- Mini B&W cookies
- Mini Heart-Shaped Linzer Tarts
- Mini Macarons
- Mini Candy Apples
- Mini Monogrammed Cookies
- Mini Madeleines
