If you have always wanted to make picture-perfect petits fours at home, now you can, thanks to Brooks Coulson Nguyen. Chances are you have seen her gorgeous work in magazines such as Martha Stewart Wedding, Elegant Bride and others. Each tiny cake so pristine, so beautiful – and best of all – really delicious.

The recipe for raspberry petits fours is involved, but is beautifully presented in her new book, The Petit Four Cookbook, so we’ve chosen to offer it as a download. Before you begin, read our interview with the author for her best tips, and then read through the recipe thoroughly – it contains all the information you need to make your own bite-sized creations.
