Miniatures and Petit Fours in Israel

About Miniatures and Petit Fours in Israel

Miniatures are the most efficient dessert there is. Nothing is cut, nothing is portioned, and a tray covers a room where you have no idea how many people will actually turn up — which describes a kiddush, a shalom zachor and a sheva brachos exactly. Guests take one, then take another, and the host never leaves the conversation.

They are also what people send into someone else's simcha, because a tray needs no fridge space and no decision from the host about where it fits in the menu. Order it for the morning of, check the store's kashrut on its page if it is going to a shul, and expect the selection to follow what the kitchen is baking that week.
