As an experienced pastry chef with over a decade of hands-on expertise in crafting delicate and exquisite petit* fours, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. My culinary journey has involved honing the art of creating these miniature treats, and my passion for the subject is evident in my extensive exploration of various techniques, flavors, and presentation styles.
When it comes to petit* fours, these miniature confections are indeed a culinary marvel. The term itself, "petit four," translates to "little oven," a charming nod to the delicate and precise nature of their creation. In the realm of pastry arts, petit* fours refer to elegant little cakes that boast three layers of cake, three layers of buttercream, and a signature coating that adds both visual appeal and a layer of flavor complexity.
Now, addressing the crucial question of refrigeration, it is paramount to note that our petit* fours are crafted using the freshest ingredients available. Given their perishable nature, refrigeration is necessary to maintain their quality and ensure they remain at their peak. The recommended shelf life for our petit* fours is approximately two weeks when stored in the refrigerator, allowing customers to savor the delectable flavors over an extended period.
For those with dietary concerns, rest assured that our petit* fours do not contain nuts. However, it is essential to communicate that while our petit* fours are nut-free, our facility is not, making transparency a priority for those with severe allergies.
Turning our attention to the logistics of acquiring these delightful treats, we employ a reliable and efficient shipping method. All petit* fours orders are dispatched via UPS using 2nd-day delivery to guarantee freshness upon arrival.

Understanding the importance of prompt delivery, we dispatch orders promptly, with items shipped within 24 hours after receipt for orders placed between Monday and Wednesday. For orders placed later in the week, shipments are scheduled for the following Monday to prevent extended transit times that might compromise the quality of the petit* fours. The shipping fees are contingent upon the size of the order, providing a fair and transparent pricing structure.
