You really don't need to change the recipe. The only thing I would suggest is baking the cake with duck eggs (if you can find them) instead of chicken eggs because they make the cake hold better. They make the cake less crumbly or unstable. Hope this helps. :)

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.
