How better to end a holiday meal than with a little something sweet? When Kathy YL Chan wrote about Valerie Confections Petit Fours earlier this year, she had this to say:

Offered in eight different flavors, they taste as good as they look. Disregard any thoughts of flavorless fondant-draped sugary sweets that come to mind with the words "petit fours." These are modern, intricate and fresh, each a personal-sized cake for one. There's a lemon, which couples thin layers of a bright lemon cake with lemon curd and a finish of white chocolate. Orange pairs orange cake with marzipan and ginger; it's unexpectedly spicy and matched with white-chocolate-ginger ganache. The ginger and the champagne petit fours are the only ones finished in a silky bittersweet chocolate glaze.
