Patricia’s PeTIT Fours

I woke up this morning to the following images in my e-mail and nearly fell out of my chair laughing:

They come from Patricia in Paree. Patricia writes:

First of all thanks for being so brilliant and inspiring, secondly I’m still very hung over from last night so I’ll keep this brief. Attached are my French version of the breast cupcakes. I’ll call them “PeTIT Fours” or maybe “Titty Fours”. Anyway, I used Nigela’s Fairy Cakes recipe (even though I hate her cause she’s beautiful). I Did 24 minis instead of the called for 12 cupcakes.. I meant to use Odense

Marzipan to decorate them but ate both logs before I could get started, so had to run out and buy ready made Wilton fondant (not so tempting), which was totally bland so I added Cointreau. Brushed the

cakes with Cointreau as well. Anyway the good thing was that the colors of the fondant allowed me to make my breasts racially diverse. The piercing was easily and elegantly handled with silver nonpariels.

So that’s it. They’re not the voluptuous breasts Americans have come to expect, but the French “no more that a mouthful” variety. Each type has its admirers I would guess. So, that’s it, thanks again for the great site. Bisous, Patricia.

I think I’ve been breasted…I mean bested! But I accept defeat gladly. Well done, Patricia!
