Recipe: Easy Petits Fours (using cake mix and canned frosting, 1970's)

Desserts - Cakes
EASY PETITS FOURS

1 (2-layer-size) package white cake mix
1 can plus 1 cup vanilla ready-to-spread frosting
Food coloring (for decorating)
Silver dragees or sliced almonds (for decorating)

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Prepare cake mix as directed on package except - bake in greased and floured jelly roll pan (15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1-inch), 20 to 25 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.

Remove cooled cake from pan. Cut cake into small squares, rounds, diamonds, hearts or other fancy shapes. Place cake pieces, one at a time, on wire rack over tray or bowl.

Heat frosting in top of double boiler until of thin consistency. Remove from heat; pour icing over cake squares so top and sides are covered at one time. (Icing that drips off cake into bowl can be heated and used again.) Leave icing over hot water to keep it thin; if necessary, add few drops hot water. Allow cakes to set a minute before removing from wire rack.

Tint remaining frosting with few drops food color. With frosting in decorators' tube, form flowers or decorate with silver dragees or sliced almonds.

Makes 18-24 (2-inch) pieces
