Cake-based petit fours include small cake squares glazed with a sweet syrup or chocolate. Meringue-based petit fours are made with small, crisp meringue bases, and the top is garnished with whipped cream or fruit. Puff pastry-based petit fours are small puff pastry cases filled with cream or fruit and glazed with a sweet syrup.

The options are endless, and it depends on one’s personal taste preferences.
Chocoflan is a unique dessert that combines two popular desserts – flan and chocolate cake. The science behind this dessert is that the flan and cake batter are separate and different in density, so when baked, the heavier cake batter sinks to the bottom, and the lighter flan mixture stays on top. The caramelized sugar on the bottom creates a layer between the two, allowing them to remain separate. As the dessert cools, the flan sets and the cake maintains its structure, resulting in the distinct layers of the chocoflan.
To make white rice taste sweet, you can stir in a bit of white sugar or honey while the rice is still hot.
