If you are new to the petit fours arena, do not be intimidated. Most of the "oohs" and "aahs" of this type of work comes from the decorations and attention to detail to each item. One way to make a good impression is to invest in the silicone flexipan/fleximolds to make the impossible possible. The use of gelatin helps this fluid mass maintain it's shape; but not forever. This recipe is a pate a bomb batter which slightly warmed mascarpone cheese and whipped cream is folded into. TEMPERATURE IS VERY IMPORTANT IN THIS RECIPE SO PLEASE READ THROUGH THE RECIPE.
