Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box almond cake mix (or homemade almond cake)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon milk (for consistency)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds (for topping)
- 1 cup white chocolate or fondant (for coating)
Instructions
- Prepare the almond cake according to the box instructions or your homemade recipe. Let it cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the cake into small square pieces (about bite-sized).
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and almond extract, beating until smooth.
- Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the buttercream reaches a thick but spreadable consistency.
- Dip each cake square into melted white chocolate or roll in fondant to coat completely.
- Top each petit four with a few sliced almonds, gently pressing them into the coating.
- Allow the petit fours to set at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- For a smoother glaze, add a few drops of vegetable oil to the melted white chocolate.
- If using fondant, roll it thinly for even coating.
- Store petit fours in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
