It’s the year of turning 30 for my friends and I (aaahhhh) ,
and 2 weeks ago my friend Taryn threw ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ themed
party. In her true style, it was all
done beautifully the smallest details seen to, the décor beautiful and being Greek,
the food in absolute abundance! She asked
me if I could make a couple of things for the dessert table, and being a fan of
Tiffany’s, I was more than happy to oblige.
During the week of the party I made some beautiful biscuits
and cake pops, and the day before the party I made her cupcakes and my latest
nightmare… petit fours. I’d never made them, but figured that they would be
simple enough. Well, more fool me and my
persistence in learning new skills. After numerous failed attempts, plenty of
swearing at the tiny cakes (my definite low point) and getting icing on everything including the
dog, I finally managed to get something presentable together.
All drama was forgotten at the party, and I even had a
couple of enquires as to whether I could take orders for petit fours. Thanks to
Taryn turning 30, what I learnt is that I can make petit fours, but definitely
won’t be making them again!
