I always loved the picture of petit fours in my mother's old Betty Crocker book and finally decided to make them.
But I was so lost when it came time to ice them. If I poured the icing ontop of my flower shapes(like the recipe recommends) the sides weren't covered. If I dipped them, the top layer shifted off the bottom layer and they were crooked.
So how to cover 2 layer petit fours ontop and the sides?
Appreciate the advice!

using a spatula spread more than you need on top till it runs down the sides ... never actually touching the cake but just the glaze or ganache ...

Thanks greenie, but since it was flower shaped it didn't cover the sides properly

that's where the spatula comes into play ... use it to direct the ganache inward to the flower petals ... patience - you can do it ...
