Again, I know it comes from the French and I know what it means, shall I leave it as is or write : französishces Kleingebäck.
My tendency would be to leave it, as I seem to recall that the Germans use this term as well; I just need some confirmation on it. Many thanks in advance.

Petits Fours
In German bakeries, I have always seen these "miniature cakes" sold under the French name.
Französisches Kleingebäck would be misleading. The term Kleingebäck makes me think of Danishes etc.
