Each pastry, meticulously cut and displayed, is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the pastry chef. The petits fours, a French term meaning "small cakes," are a traditional element of French dining, often served as a light dessert course after a formal meal. The pastries in this photograph are a delightful array of textures and flavors, from the smooth, glossy glace fruits to the delicate, flaky pastry shells. The intricate decorations, from the delicate piped icing to the delicate sugar work, add an air of sophistication and elegance.
