Last year, Mary Jane Moreau and Carolyn Key set out to make the labor-intensive petit four an everyday possibility. Et voila! The dynamic duo recently debuted Petit Fours Cakes Gourmet, a designer bakery centered on the bite-size frosted cake towers. Executive pastry chef Bill Hunter, who satisfied many a sweet tooth during his days at the Hotel Crescent Court and Desserts by Design, leads the kitchen team that turns out 18 elegant varieties of small cakes (perfect hostess gifts) and 12 flavors of petit fours, some with six intricate layers of cake and frosting. At Petit Fours you can have your cake and eat it, too. The cozy cake parlor is the perfect place to sample treats with a cup of coffee or chai tea. Mondrian Cityplace, 3000 Blackburn St., Ste. 180. 214-559-2253.
Update: Petit Fours Cakes Gourmet has closed.
