Valentine Petite Fours
These Valentine petite fours are so easy to make! You can arrange store-bought items into your own custom Valentine’s day dessert.
Equipment
- 1 1/2" Heart-shaped cookie cutter
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Cooling rack
- 1 sheet of parchment paper
- 1 piping bag and piping tip optional
Ingredients
- 1 10.75 ounce Sara Lee Pound Cake frozen
- 1 or 2 tubs Store-Bought Vanilla Frosting
- Some Food coloring of your choice
- Some Valentine-Themed Sprinkles
Instructions
- Thaw the frozen pound cake then slice it into 8, 3/4″ thick slices.
- With a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut two hearts from each slice. You may only cut one heart from the edge slices. Place the heart-shaped cakes on a baking sheet fitted with a cooling rack and parchment paper.
- Heat a tub of vanilla frosting for 30 seconds in a microwave. Keep heating up in 5 -10 second increments until the frosting is runny enough to pour.
- Pour the frosting over each heart-shaped cake. Try to cover each one completely. If you run out of frosting, remove the rack and collect the frosting from the parchment paper. Reheat the frosting again and reuse it.
- Decorate the heart-shaped cake with sprinkles. Let your creativity lead you on this step! You can add some sprinkles on top. Or color the leftover frosting and put it in a piping bag then draw some messages on the cakes.
