Petit Fours aux Amandes

I had not planned to make these yesterday, but as I had two egg whites left over from the sweet pastry and they did not look difficult, I thought I would knock them up quickly. Unfortunately they did not turn out as they should. The mixture was supposed to be thick enough to pipe into rosettes. Mine was not - maybe I didn't whisk the egg whites long enough. Rather than start again, I thought I would put the mixture into the mini muffin cases. I put a piece of cherry on top, but as you can see, they all sank in the mixture.
They turned out rather like mini macaroons. They were ok, but i know Mary's ones would have looked and tasted much better! We gave them 7.0
