Petit fours are generally classified into:
Petit Four Fraise or fresh petit fours, this can include tiny fresh fruit tartlets, tiny eclairs with cream or custard, fresh fruits dipped in caramel or chocolate.
Petit Four Sec - sec means dry in french, so this usually applies to little biscuits, shortbread, tuille, and the like, also I belive tiny un-iced cakes like mini friands or meringues with no cream.
Petit Four Glace - or iced petit four, this generally applies to the classic fondant dipped, layered sponge cakes filled with buttercream, ganache or soft marzipan. They are topped with marzipan then dipped in fondant before being decorated with piped chocolate or some other decoration.
