The base of the petit fours is a delicate white almond cake, baked to perfection and infused with a subtle almond essence. This provides a tender and slightly nutty flavor that pairs harmoniously with the other elements of the treat. The cake is meticulously crafted and then cut into small, elegant squares, ensuring a consistent and dainty presentation.
To create a pristine and polished appearance, each square of almond cake is carefully enrobed in a smooth and flawless layer of white petit four icing. This icing not only serves as a protective seal but also imparts a subtly sweet taste that complements the almond cake underneath. The white icing provides a blank canvas for the vibrant colors to come.
The pièce de résistance of the LSU Purple and Gold Petit Fours is the meticulous decoration that pays homage to LSU's school colors and pride. A skillful hand applies intricate designs using purple and gold icing, showcasing the iconic hues associated with the university. The purple and gold hues evoke a sense of loyalty and excitement, representing the school's traditions and achievements.
To complete the decoration, the letters "LSU" are elegantly written onto each petit four using the same purple and gold icing. This personalized touch not only reinforces the connection to the university but also adds a touch of sophistication to several of the dozen of petit fours.
