Petit Four Eggs
- 1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
- 7-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons lemon extract
- Decorator gels
- Prepare cake according to package directions. Pour into a lightly greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan.
- Bake at 350u0b0 for 18-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cut cake into eggs (or other desired shapes) with a 2-1/2-in. oval cookie cutter.
- In a large bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, water and extract; beat on low speed until sugar is moistened. Beat on high until smooth.
- Place petit fours on a rack with waxed paper beneath. Spoon the glaze evenly over tops and sides, letting excess drip off.
