Cake Petit Fours

• 1 store-bought pound cake
• 1 small jar seedless strawberry jam
• 1 pint strawberries, sliced
• 1 (1-pound) container vanilla frosting
• Red, green, and brown food coloring
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1/4 cup milk

1. Slice cake into 1/4-inch thick slices.
2. Spread jam on the cake slices and then top with sliced strawberries.
3. Cut cake slices into 1-inch circles and stars and set aside.
4. Separate the frosting into 3 bowls and add food coloring to reach desired colors (1 to 2 drops of red to make pink, 1 to 2 drops of green to make seafoam and 1 to 2 drops of brown to make cream).
5. Make a glaze by combining the sugar and milk in a medium bowl.
6. Separate the glaze into 3 bowls and tint each to match the frosting colors.
7. Place cake cut-outs on a wire rack.
8. Fill 3 resealable plastic bags fitted with a star tip with each color of frosting and then pipe desired frosting over.
9. Using a melon baler, add a scoop of ice cream and then sandwich the cut-outs.
10. Drizzle glaze over cut-outs.
11. Let glaze set.
12. Pipe a star on the top of each petit four with the corresponding color of icing.
13. Garnish with a small strawberry slice.
