I sat down to countless tea parties with my daughters when they were small. They turned on their best British accent and served the tastiest plastic desserts known to man. Some days I might find tea in my cup, some days chocolate milk, or orange juice, or delicious water straight from the bathroom sink. And I might have gotten stuck in the tiny, little tea party chair a time or two, but those were my favorite parties. There’s something pretty special about those plastic desserts, but if you want to keep it real, these cakes and petit fours are fun to make and perfect for kids helping in the kitchen and even tea parties. Optional, of course, because nothing could take the place of those fabulous plastic scones – my favorite! By the way, while I was playing around with making these sweet, little cakes, I burned lunch. 🙂 How’s that for keeping it real! Y’all have a wonderful weekend!
Easy Tea Party Cakes & Petit Fours
Ingredients:
1 Sara Lee Pound Cake, thawed
Strawberry Jam
2 Containers of strawberry frosting, or your choice
Decorations of your choice
Directions:
Place a cooling rack on top of a sheet of wax paper.
Slice pound cake into small, stackable rectangles. Spread desired amount of strawberry jam on one piece of cake and stack a second piece on top. Place on cooling rack.
For Petit Four Frosting: Spoon about 1/2 cup of frosting into a microwaveable cup or dish and microwave for 15 seconds or until pourable. Stir.
Pour frosting over cake that has been placed on cooling rack (this will catch dripping frosting). Carefully spread and smooth frosting if necessary. Once frosting is set, decorate cake and move to serving plate.
For easy to spread cake frosting: Spoon about 1/2 cup of frosting into a microwaveable cup or dish and microwave for 8 seconds. Stir. Spread frosting over cake that has been placed on cooling rack. Decorate and move to serving plate.
Continue microwaving frosting 1/2 cup at a time until all your little cakes are frosted.
Enjoy these and have so much fun!
