Hershey Kiss Rose Favor!

Beautiful edible roses can be made out of the most recognizable candy of all time, a Hershey Kiss. While flowers are considered a necessary component of any celebratory event, it is quite unique that you can make them yourself, use as wedding decor, and then send them home as thank you gifts. 

A rose is a rose.  Whether expressed with bold colors or subtle hues, traditional arrangements or trendy, the bride's taste and style are on display.  Create your own edible floral fantasy that is deceptively simple to make.

Making Wedding Favors Party!

Few things capture the imagination and love of a family more than getting together to make homemade wedding favors, so why not turn it into a party?  Gathering together all the supplies needed to complete the chosen wedding favor and working out a plan of attack will pay off with big results.  Before the party begins, do a practice run to be sure everything works out as planned.  Spending quality time with loved ones, while accomplishing a goal is satisfaction guaranteed.
