Ingredients:
– 2 frozen pound cakes
– 2 pounds powdered sugar
– 1/2 cup corn syrup
– 1/2 cup water
– 2 teaspoons vanilla
– Sprinkles to decorate
Instructions:
1. Trim the sides of your poundcake until you’ve created a rectangular block. Then slice down the middle and across to make little cubes.
2. Make the icing in two batches to avoid a build up of crumbs. For one batch, combine 1 pound powdered sugar, 1/4 cup corn syrup, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon in a large bowl. Whisk together until completely smooth.
3. Gently place one cake cube in the icing and use forks or chocolate dippers to cover. Remove and let the excess icing drip off by setting the petit fours on a wire rack set over another pan or some wax paper.
4. Using the straight edge of aluminum foil or another paper, cover up half of the petit four and cover the remaining half with sprinkles.
Start by rounding up your ingredients.
