Directions:Stir the water and confectioners' sugar together well; stir in the corn syrup and stir until well blended. (Icing should run off the spoon.) Place half the marzipan-covered sponge cake squares on a rack and pour half the icing over. Repeat with the other half. Continue as outlined above.
Decorations for after the icing has set:
• Pipe a flower outline with dark melted chocolate. Fill in the outline with melted milk chocolate. Pipe a dab of white icing in the center.
• Pipe two lines of white icing down the length of the petit fourss Fours.
• Use a small tinted, molded marzipan flower. Pipe a flower stem with melted chocolate, or decorate with piped lines of melted chocolate.
• Pipe delicate lines of melted chocolate and decorate with a quartered candied cherry. Sprinkle with ground pistachios.
• Dip one side of a walnut or pecan half in chocolate. Dip the chocolate-covered half in ground pistachios.
• Pipe a delicate lattice pattern of diagonal melted chocolate lines, using both dark chocolate and milk chocolate. Decorate with candied coffee bean.
• Pie melted chocolate for flower stem and one leaf. Use a crystallized violet petal for the flower and a pistachio half for the other leaf.
• Use a tinted, cut-out marzipan flower.
• Decorate with clusters of crystallized violet petals.
• Decorate with a piece of candied orange peel and piped lines of melted chocolate.
• Place halved candied cherry in center and surround with dots of melted chocolate.
• Place a whole hazelnut in center and sprinkle ground pistachios around hazelnut. This works best while the glaze is still wet.
• Pipe geometric lines of melted chocolate off-center around a previously placed chocolate-coated coffee bean. |
