Faux Petit Fours for Decorating - Foam and Spackle

  I am eating less sugar these days and these little sugar free Petit Fours 

fit right into that plan.

Creativity and no goodies to tempt me.

 

This frugal project started with a bit of Spackle and a dollar block of foam.

I cut the foam into 1 1/2 inch by 1 1/2 inch cubes.  Then I gave them a couple of coats of Spackle.

  

Let them dry well before sanding.

 

Getting better...

I rounded the upper corners to more closely mimic Fondant.

I painted them with acrylic paint, piped some Spackle mixed with a little bit of paint, and stuck pearls on top.  Then I sprayed them with 

semi-gloss Polycrylic.  

Be aware in areas where it is heaviest it has a tendency to be a little bit yellow.

Ta Da!

Update-  We had company over and they believed they were real!
