These mini cakes are spongy and light with just a touch of sweetness and some citrus tang. Elegant and satisfying, they're the perfect finish to any dinner party. And though they're a classic French dessert dating back a couple of centuries, we're starting to see them pop up at trendy restaurants like NYC hot spot Fedora, where they're served with a lemon curd for pleasant dipping action. So, for those of you looking to ease yourself slowly out of your Halloween candy stupor, these treats might just do the trick. --Christine Busciglio
