Plating, or presenting, a selection of petits fours to guests can be very simple or very elaborate. A single lovely plate can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or any edible flower petals (such as miniature rose petals or violets) and the petits fours arranged simply on that. A lacy paper or foil doily may be used on the plate, and a larger lacy napkin or doily can disguise a less than beautiful plate. Plan for two or three little cakes per guest, plus three extra so the plate will not empty. Another excelent presentation might use a two- or three-teired dessert tray, in which case no doily is needed. Either type of plate, with or without doily, may be garnished with mint leaves, a few perfect strawberries or other tiny colorful fruit.
