Ingredients

Directions

  1. To make cake: Beat Large eggs till thick. Gradually beat in the sugar, then add in the pecans, dates and the flour mixed with salt, baking pwdr and baking soda.
  2. Blend thoroughly. Pour into an ungreased jellyroll pan and bake about 35 min. Remove from oven and sprinkle with rum. When dough has cooled sufficient to handle with a tsp., scoop out small portions and roll each into a ball.
  3. To make icing: Mix the sugar, juice and rum together. Dip each ball into this mix, then into any topping: the minced nuts, coconut or possibly chocolate sprinkles. You can leave some of the balls plain or possibly you can let your imagination run wild. When the topping has set, place balls in colored paper candy c..
  4. To make icing for flowers (to top petits fours): Blend sugar and cream together. If icing is too thin, use more sugar. Icing should be thick sufficient to hold its shape. Add in a drop of food coloring for varied effects. On the plain balls, use your pastry bag fitted with a star tube. Make little flowers in different colors.
  5. Note: To toast nuts, heat in a dry skillet over medium heat till they start to brown. Stir occasionally. Be careful not to scorch them.
