My friend Audrey and I have been taking French classes for more years than I care to admit, since we still can't speak French. One class tradition is that we celebrate our birthdays with a sweet treat. This can be challenging because we meet right after work on Wednesday nights. Anything that I bring to class has to sit in the trunk of my car all day or I have to haul it into my office.
Last November, I discovered the perfect treat for Audrey's birthday – Carrot Cake Petits Fours from The Swiss Colony catalog. What could be more French than a petit four? For her birthday this year, I've decided to order the Harvest Petits Fours with their adorable frosting garnishes of apples, carrots, pumpkins and gingerbread boys. They look delicious – I'll let you know how they taste after our class tonight.
