Petit Gâteau Mango is a mango-flavored version of the classic French molten lava cake (often called petit gâteau au chocolat). The name “petit gâteau” literally means “small cake” in French — it refers to individual-sized cakes that are soft and moist on the outside, but have a gooey, molten center inside.

Place the cake on a tray and spray red color on the stem end and green on the beak with an airbrush. 6. Let it chill on the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
