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        Zinftetscheite


So, now I'm wondering if any one else has ventured into con-cuisine, if there be such a word?
