Petits Fours Frosting Recipe

Petits Fours Frosting Recipe

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 dash cream of tartar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 drop red food coloring
  • 1 drop green food coloring
  • 1 drop yellow food coloring
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  1. Combine sugar, cream of tartar, salt, and water in a small saucepan. Cook to the soft ball stage, 234 – 240 degrees F (112 – 115 degrees C). Cool to lukewarm.
  2. Gradually beat in enough confectioners' sugar to make mixture thick enough to almost hold its shape. Stir in flavoring. Divide into 4 parts. Leave one part white and tint other portions pink, yellow, and green.
  3. To ice petits fours, place them on a cooling rack and spoon the icing/frosting over the top until covered.
