Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks using an electric mixer. Add sugar, and beat until thick and pale, about 10 minutes. If you have a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment. Sift the flour and baking powder into the egg mixture, and fold in by hand along with the milk. Stir just until the batter is mixed, then fold in the melted butter until smooth. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. When finished, invert the cake pan onto a sheet of waxed paper, and cool completely. This will give you nice even petits fours.
- Cut the cooled cake into small squares, rectangles or triangles, and arrange the pieces in rows on a wire rack or glazing screen with plenty of space between rows. (See Cook's Notes for flavoring suggestions). Set the rack over a shallow pan or waxed paper to catch the drips.
- Spoon or pour warmed petit four icing over the small cakes. The drippings may be scraped off of the pan or paper, and reheated for use again. Allow the petits fours to set until completely dry. Lift the cakes from the rack with a metal spatula, and trim the bottom edges with a sharp knife. Set into small muffin papers for easy handling. Decorate as desired.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Liberally spray an 18-by13-inch sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. Stack the lined sheet pan inside a second sheet pan, to avoid extra browning when baking.
- In a mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a food processor, pulse together the almond paste, granulated sugar and honey. Pulse until well combined. Open the food processor and scrape the sides and bottom with a metal spoon to check that the almond paste is completely incorporated. Add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing to combine after each addition.
- Add the eggs one by one, pulsing until each is completely incorporated. After the last addition, scrape down the bowl and then pulse until the batter is completely smooth and slightly fluffy. Pulse in the flour mixture until blended.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared sheet pan. Bake until the cake is golden brown and springs back when gently poked, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, color the Royal Icing in the colors of your choosing and add each color to a pastry bag fitted with a #2 tip. Pipe tiny flowers on a piece of parchment by making small closed spirals in one color, then add leaves to either side in the other color. Set aside to set up and harden, about 1 hour.
- Remove the cake from the sheet pan and cut in half widthwise. Spread the jam on top of one half and top with the second half. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
- Use a serrated knife to cut the cake into 1-inch squares. Place onto a parchment-covered sheet pan and freeze for at least 1 hour.
- For the coating icing: In the meantime, add the white chocolate chips to a heatproof bowl and set over a pot of simmering water (the bowl should sit above and not touch the water). Heat, stirring, until melted and smooth.
- Sift the confectioners' sugar into a separate large bowl. Stir in the hot water and corn syrup until smooth. Stir in the melted chocolate. If the icing is too thick (it should be pourable), add more hot water 1 teaspoon at a time. Use while warm; you can reheat it in the microwave if necessary as you are working.
- Put the little cakes on a wire rack fitted inside a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Coat the cakes with the icing using a spoon and small offset spatula, or add icing to a pastry bag, snip the corner and use to coat each cake. Top each with a hardened royal icing decoration. Allow the icing to set up before transferring to a serving platter.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fit with a paddle attachment, add the confectioners' sugar and meringue powder and beat to combine. Beat in 4 tablespoons of warm water to combine. Raise the paddle head to check the consistency of the icing; the icing should be thick and smooth but not dripping from the paddle. Add more water until the desired consistency is reached. (You can add slightly more water to achieve a flooding consistency icing to completely cover cookies. Use a stiffer consistency to pipe decorations and details.)
CAKE PETIT FOURS
Steps:
- Slice cake into 1/4-inch thick slices. Spread jam on the cake slices and then top with sliced strawberries. Cut cake slices into 1-inch circles and stars and set aside.
- Separate the frosting into 3 bowls and add food coloring to reach desired colors (1 to 2 drops of red to make pink, 1 to 2 drops of green to make seafoam and 1 to 2 drops of brown to make cream). Make a glaze by combining the sugar and milk in a medium bowl. Separate the glaze into 3 bowls and tint each to match the frosting colors.
- Place cake cut-outs on a wire rack. Fill 3 resealable plastic bags fitted with a star tip with each color of frosting and then pipe desired frosting over. Using a melon baler, add a scoop of ice cream and then sandwich the cut-outs. Drizzle glaze over cut-outs. Let glaze set. Pipe a star on the top of each petit four with the corresponding color of icing. Garnish with a small strawberry slice.

BABY'S FIRST APPLESAUCE CAKE AND PETIT FOURS
This is from Martha Stewart's Kids magazine. They developed it to be tasty for adults and good for one year olds to eat. You could probably give it to younger babies who are eating solid or sort of solid food, too. I cut this in half and used two 9"x13" pans instead of two 13"x18". The cake ends up being about 8" square with 4 layers or 2 layers. We cut our "half cake" into 16 pieces, so I am estimating 32 pieces for the larger, although I think it would be hard to cut the pieces that small. :) Plus the larger version makes 20 petit fours. Cook time does not include cooling time.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Oil two 13"x18" rimmed baking sheets; line with parchment paper and set aside.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl.
- Whisk applesauce, oil, maple syrup, vinegar, and apple juice concentrate in another bowl. Add to flour mixture and mix until combined.
- Divide batter between prepared sheets. Bake until pale golden and a cake tester (toothpick if you're not Martha) inserted into the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes.
- Cool in the pans on wire racks 10 minutes, then invert and remove parchment. Reinvert (turn it so pretty top is on top again) onto a large cutting board lined in parchment. Let cool completely.
- Cakes can be stored at this point, wrapped in plastic, overnight.
- Cut a 3" strip off the long (18") side of each cake (for petit fours). Cut remaining portion in half crosswise and trim into four 8" squares (for adult cake).
- For adult cake: Stack square cakes on a square piece of cardboard, spreading Apricot Whip (Recipe #238540) between them (or whatever filling, jam, or frosting you want). Spread a very thin layer of Apricot Frosting (Recipe #238541) on top and sides, smoothing with offset spatula (or use your own frosting, of course). Decorate as you wish.
- For Petit Fours: Trim cake strips to 3"x15". Spread Apricot Whip (Recipe #238540) on one strip; top with remaining strip. Cut into twenty 1 1/2" squares. Top half with squares cut from Soft Apple Slices (Recipe #238883). Pipe dot of frosting onto other half, or decorate in some other manner.
