Bring a little color into your life this Pi Day... 3-14-11! You could even throw a pi day party, and serve these! Petit fours are common party treats (A petit four is a small confection generally served as part of dessert. The name is from the French petit four, meaning "small oven"). If you have ever seen how cute and colorful a petit four is, you will understand my inspiration to make these!
The ingredients were inexpensive, yet they look like something you would order from a bakery. So save your money and just do it your self! You can crank tons of these things out in no time. They are served cold instead of hot, so perfect for the upcoming spring and summer season.
Weather you are serving them to your mom, kids, hubby, or at a festive summer party, these are sure to grab some attention :)

Ingredients:
1. A box of easy pie crust (this one was less than $2): OR make your own! I opted for this quick, easy, and inexpensive crust just for this instructable. If you were making a lot of these, I would suggest making your own since you can make a lot more pie crust :)
2. Food Coloring: Preferably neon or bright colors, but you could do whatever you want, they can be holiday themed even (red and green for Christmas etc). I got these colors because it was less than $4 and it had bright green, purple, pink, and orange!
3. Measuring spoons or measuring cups (depending on your pie crust recipe)
4. Box of light colored pudding: I had a few of these 89 cent boxes of jell-o pudding hanging around in my pantry, but I opted to use the vanilla due to its light color, and because I wanted to dye it!
5. Mixing bowl for pie crust
6. cupcake pan (regular size)
7. Chopped fruit, candies, icing, whipped topping, Anything you want to decorate with! I chose fruit for these particular Petit Pies!
8. Regular white all purpose Flour
9. Rolling Pin
