What do you think when you hear petit fours? Little cakes with icing(well actually fondant) on them, right? That is what I thought as well. This past week we started petit fours class and learned that they are just mini desserts. Well, not just mini desserts but delicious desserts.
Dacquoise
This is a meringue type of cookie. It is a meringue with hazelnut powder folded in. They are filled with a hazelnut cream.

Paris Brest
A Paris-Brest is made with Pate a Choux. It is filled with a hazelnut pastry cream mixed with buttercream. It was invented in 1910 cycling race from Paris to Brest. The shape represents the wheels of the bicycle.
Chouquette
A chouquette is made with pate a choux and is just like a cream puff. This one is filled with a hazelnut pastry cream.
Salambos
A salambos is another pastry made with pate a choux. It is filled with a kirsch pastry cream and topped with caramel.
This is one of my favorite pastries! I am so glad we got to make these. These eclairs are filled with a chocolate pastry cream.
Blueberry Tarts
These are the smallest tarts I have ever made, but they are so cute and easy to make. But, I do have to say they are not the same as when my mom makes them with blueberries from my grandpap's house.
This is a cookie with chocolate ganache and raspberry jam.
Apricot and Almond Cream Tart
Macarons
These macarons are flavored with pistachio buttercream!
