Six New Petits Fours Flavors for 2026 and 2027: Mango Passionfruit, Lychee Rose and More

Every new collection brings a handful of flavors worth knowing before they show up on a platter. Here are six new petits fours flavors from the Curty's USA 2026 to 2027 collection, each taken straight from our catalog, with a short read on what makes each one different and where it fits on a menu.

Every piece below is handcrafted in Paris by French pastry chefs, made to be ready to serve, and stocked here in the USA for caterers, hotels, restaurants, venues and event planners. The collection also includes gluten free and dairy free options, and the catalog notes the range can be offered in different sizes, shapes or flavors to match a requirement.

1. Mango Passionfruit Mini Puff

Three mango passionfruit mini puffs, golden crackle choux pastries topped with cream and a fresh mango cube

Mango Passionfruit Mini Puff, 17 grams.

Crackle choux pastry filled with mango cream and a passion fruit whipped ganache, finished with a fresh mango cube and a touch of lime zest. Bright, tropical and one of the more refreshing options in the collection. It is a natural fit for spring and summer events, brunch menus and any table that needs a fruit forward bite to balance richer pieces.

2. Mini Crème Brûlée

Three mini crème brûlée petits fours with a torched golden top on a hazelnut biscuit base

Mini Crème Brûlée, 17 grams.

A hazelnut streusel biscuit base under a dome of authentic crème brûlée, torched and covered with white chocolate. It has all the classic crème brûlée contrast, crisp top and soft custard, in a single bite that needs no spoon. Guests recognize it instantly, which makes it a safe and elegant choice for corporate events and wedding dessert tables.

3. Litchi and Rose

Three layered litchi and rose petits fours in pink and cream tiers on picks

Litchi and Rose, 13 grams.

A rose petal biscuit layered with raspberry crunch, raspberry mousse, lychee confit and a raspberry chocolate finish. Floral and fruit forward, built for guests who want something a little different from the standard chocolate or citrus options. It looks as good as it tastes, which makes it a strong choice for weddings, bridal events and premium hospitality.

4. Sesame and Raspberry

Three triangular sesame and raspberry petits fours with a dark black sesame cake and bright dried flower finish

Sesame and Raspberry, 10 grams.

Black sesame cake paired with a delicate white chocolate crunch, raspberry confit and a dried flower finish. The sesame brings a nutty, slightly savory edge that balances the raspberry rather than letting it dominate. The dark color with bright petals also makes it one of the most photographed pieces on a mixed platter.

5. Mini Apple Tatin Tart

Three caramelized mini apple tatin tart slices on a golden shortbread base

Mini Apple Tatin Tart, 16 grams.

Viennese shortbread with rosemary and candied apricot compote, finished with a hint of vanilla cream. A quieter, more classic option, built around apple and warm spice rather than fruit and chocolate. It suits autumn and winter menus, holiday parties and any event where guests expect a traditional French tart.

6. Mini Chocolate Fondant

Three mini chocolate fondants with a dark chocolate shell and a hazelnut topping

Mini Chocolate Fondant, 18 grams.

A 72% dark chocolate fondant with a molten hazelnut praline center. For guests who want a straightforward, rich chocolate finish, this is the one to reach for. It also gives a dessert table a deep, dark counterpoint to the lighter fruit pieces.

How to Build a Platter With These Flavors

A well built petits fours platter balances flavor families so no single note dominates. A simple approach:

  • Start with fruit. Mango Passionfruit and Litchi and Rose bring brightness and color.

  • Add a classic. Mini Crème Brûlée and Mini Apple Tatin Tart give guests something familiar.

  • Anchor with chocolate. Mini Chocolate Fondant carries the richness.

  • Finish with something unexpected. Sesame and Raspberry is the piece guests will ask about.

Because every piece is small, between 10 and 18 grams, guests can try several without feeling full, which is exactly why petits fours work so well for receptions, cocktail hours, corporate events and dessert tables.

The Sweet Petits Fours Collection has the full range, and mixed platters are available so a caterer or venue does not have to order each flavor separately.

Which Flavors Suit Which Events

Different events call for different mixes, and a few simple rules make the choice easier.

  • Weddings and bridal events. Lead with Litchi and Rose and Mango Passionfruit for color and a light finish, add Mini Crème Brûlée as the crowd pleaser, and keep Mini Chocolate Fondant for guests who want chocolate. The floral and fruit pieces photograph well on a wedding dessert table.

  • Corporate events and client receptions. Familiar flavors move fastest in a mixed crowd. Mini Crème Brûlée, Mini Chocolate Fondant and Mini Apple Tatin Tart are easy to recognize, while Sesame and Raspberry gives the table a talking point.

  • Hotel afternoon tea and brunch. Mango Passionfruit, Litchi and Rose and Mini Apple Tatin Tart sit naturally next to tea and coffee service, and the small size suits tiered stands.

  • Holiday and winter events. Mini Apple Tatin Tart and Mini Chocolate Fondant bring the warm, rich notes guests expect in colder months.

  • Cocktail hours and passed dessert service. Every piece is small enough to eat in one or two bites without a plate or fork, which keeps service moving.

Presentation Tips for Petits Fours

How a platter is presented matters almost as much as what is on it. A few habits help:

  • Group by color. Place fruit pieces together and chocolate pieces together so the platter looks designed, not scattered.

  • Use height. Tiered stands and risers let guests see every flavor and make a modest quantity look generous.

  • Label each flavor. Small cards naming each piece help guests choose, and they help servers answer dietary questions quickly.

  • Keep the format uniform. Petits fours look best when sizes are close, which is one reason a single supplier with consistent portions makes platter building easier.

  • Pair with the right drinks. Fruit forward pieces go well with sparkling wine or tea, while chocolate and caramelized pieces pair with coffee.

Why Petits Fours Work So Well for Modern Events

Petits fours suit the way people entertain now. Guests move around, hold a drink in one hand and want variety without committing to a full slice of cake. A small piece lets them try three or four flavors, and a mixed platter lets a host offer that choice without cutting, plating or serving anything by hand. For caterers and venues, the same format cuts waste, because pieces are portioned in advance and nothing is left half eaten on a plate.

Handcrafted French petits fours also carry a sense of occasion that mass produced desserts do not. Each one is a small piece of pastry craft, layered, glazed and finished by hand, which is why they remain a staple of French patisserie and a popular choice for premium hospitality.
