These "Chocolate Truffle" Scented Candles look as if they came right out of a box of chocolates and they would make such lovely wedding favors especially if one of your wedding colors is brown. So buy a few cases here at www.DollarTree.com today because there is no telling when they will be gone!

Get Off Your Butt and Bake...I love the name of the website where I found this fabulous recipe because it made me want to just that...get off my butt and bake. I want to try this Puff Pastry Berry Pinwheels recipe because they look so good yet very easy to make.
Ingredients:

I love edible favors and these donut holes are so easy to make. When they are done they will taste like a funnel cake! They look really lovely in the Doily Cones which you can learn to make here on ruffledblog.com where I found this recipe.



INGREDIENTS:

• canned flakey biscuits
• frying oil (canola, vegetable etc…)
• powdered sugar
• paper bags

DIRECTIONS:

1. Take biscuit dough out of the can. Pinch off a small piece of dough and roll into a ball to make donut hole. Do this with the rest of the can. *Note, the donuts do expand in the grease, so don’t make them too big!

2. Fill your pot with at least 2 inches of oil. Heat oil until it bubbles when you drop the dough in. Dough will cook quickly so flip dough over as you see it crisping. When your dough is golden brown take out immediately.

3. Have your paper bag with powder sugar ready to go by the oil. As soon as your donuts are taken out of the oil, drop them into the bag and shake.

4. Savor your beautiful donut holes!

I think these Lace Paper Doily Cones are so elegant and can used as a cover for plastic filled, cone-shaped treat bags to give as favors or add some confetti for your guest to throw as you leave your ceremony!

You will need:

• - paper doilies
• - silicon glue
• - scissors
• - wmood buttons (I got mine from Wooden Treasures)
• - thin twine
• - manilla tags (I got these from Olive Manna)
• - black calligraphy marker
• - clear tape
• - thread
• - needle
• - confetti or rose petals

Instructions:

1. Wrap doilies to make cones.
2. Use silicon glue to seal the deal.
3. Have a blast decorating your cones
4. Fill cones with confetti or treats.

I love the idea of just placing a small gift inside a Votive Holder and placing a cupcake wrapper or paper muffin liner over the top to create a petite package. A colorful string or ribbon around the wrapper secures the gift and to keep the liner in place. They can hold anything from jewelry to candy to give to guests as favors
