Elegant Name Holder/Thank You Favor
Not just elegant but also edible!
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
Make Decorations First!
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!
Preparing Apples
Wash clean apples and pat them to dry
Press lolly sticks/ice cream sticks into apples and place apples on parchment paper
Covering Apples
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
Decorating Apples
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 :)
