In this course, yes: the petit gâteau is an individual pastry-sized entremet. The reference describes entremets as layered desserts with more mousse than sponge and complementary flavours and textures.

For the individual version, keep the sponge layer thin. Mirror glaze is just one finish; the course also shows coconut-coated and velvet-finished versions.
