I think perhaps the word for "Petit Four" will have to be "Little Temptation." I haven't really looked at any diminutives yet, but it seems it might be something like Zinftetschenei�.
[...]Well, close but no cigar. Turns out my Con-Austrians/Con-Bavarians particularly enjoy a cup of coffee and a "Zinftetschetz"
Zinftetschetz, m, "Small sweet pastry or cake, a 'Petit Four', literally a 'little temptation'." (< Zinftetsche, "Temptation")
Singular Plural Direct Zinftetschetz Zinftetscheite Genitive Zinftetscheitiese Zinftetscheiter Dative Zinftetscheite ZinftetscheiteSo, now I'm wondering if any one else has ventured into con-cuisine, if there be such a word?
