Elegant Name Holder/Thank You Favor

Not just elegant but also edible! 😀 I am going to send this tutorial to instructables.com contest for Wedding theme, do you think they are pretty enough for wedding? 😀

Well, it can be for whatever party actually, just have to coat the apples with different chocolate coating, decorate them with whatever theme you prefer, they definitely are pretty enough 😉

Materials

Sweet apples (because I like them better than tarts)

White chocolate melts/chips

Shortening/vegetable oil

Fondant/modelling chocolate

Silverettes

Tulle

Candy sticks/ice cream sticks

Ribbon, silver, matching silverettes (wedding is often prettier with sparkly stuffs complementing the all whites ;-))

Molds for flower and leaves

Tall glass for melting chocolate

Twizzer that is especially used for food (to handle silverettes)

Spoon/knife/spatula

Parchment paper

Scissor

Hot Glue

Name cards/thank you notes

The decorations

By using mold, it’s easy to create flowers and leaves. But if you don’t have mold, you can free cut leaves or shape them with your hands! No need too difficult shape, even rolling a long flat fondant would create something almost like a rose like if you are creative enough!

Wash clean apples and pat them to dry

Press lolly sticks/ice cream sticks into apples and place apples on parchment paper

Melt enough white chocolate in microwave with 30 seconds interval, stir

When needed, stir in shortening/vegetable oil (to make chocolate a little liquidy so it would be easier to handle/coating apples)

Dip apple one at a time and place back on parchment paper

Let stand either room temperature or fridge to harden

Stick decorations with a dab of melted chocolate and decorate apple nicely

Cut tulle and ribbon, tie it on the stick

Place name card or thank you note, hot glued to the stick

Your elegant apples are ready 🙂
