Petit Fours with Glaze

Petit Fours with Glaze
Petit Fours or small cakes, filled with jam and aromatic cocoa glaze!
A delicious, juicy and flat cake, which will not crumble, is the appropriate basis to make these little sweets almost a mouthful, after having to cut into small cubes, to cut again the cubes for filling with jam. Process as simple game.
The cocoa glaze is easy and even though it does not have the taste of chocolate tones, but equally captivating in my opinion, it has the cocoa flavor, that chocolate is a bit more "grumpy" in preparation and its use in relation to cocoa.
