Edible Holiday Place Cards


It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!


Don't you just love the holiday season? I sure do. I especially love all the festivities and get togethers with loved ones. I am planning an intimate dinner party this weekend with just my closest of friends. I hate those big ole stuffy parties where it is so crowded and loud you can't even talk to anyone, don't you? I prefer a much more intimate setting. That is why I am doing a sit down holiday dinner. I have invited 6 of my closet friends. I cannot wait!




I have made these beautiful edible placards to put on the table. I just hate it when everyone fights over who is going to sit next to me. So awkward. These should solve that problem!



Let me show you how to make them, they are easy!
(You can click on the photos to make them larger.)


Print the names in the size and font you want on edible icing sheets. I like Kopykake brand. (You have to use an edible ink printer to make these food safe.)




Cut them out and lay them face down into the place card chocolate mold.



   Pour melted white chocolate into the card molds and the little stands too.



About 8-10 minutes in the freezer and then they will fall right out of the mold. Now the edible image is embedded into the chocolate and it looks seamless and like all one piece! Love that.




To decorate these, I piped royal icing bead borders with a tip7. Let that dry a good bit and then paint them with  gold luster dust mixed with vodka. Let that fully dry. Then add a red clay gun string ( the smallest round disc)  as  a decorative border inside the gold piping.



Attach the stand to the back with chocolate.




I also used these premade royal icing decorations that I purchased here.


Isn't  that just beautiful? I think Martha will be a little jealous of my mad crafty skillz. :)




Your guests will be awed by the fact that these are edible, and even more so by the fact  that you made them.


I also made another design for my New Orleans pals.  Many of you know that I am a devoted native of New Orleans, and  just adore our culture and history.   I wanted to make something special for my local buds.




For these, I used my strip cutters to frame the cards with red and green fondant.





I used my fleur de lis push mold and white fondant to make the decorations. I painted them gold after they were dry, then attached them to the cards.





Lovely.  I think Drew will be impressed. Yes, Drew and I are close personal friends. (He just doesn't know it yet.)



Darren (Sproles) and  Harry (Connick) will shower me with compliments.


What? You don't believe that I know Harry?
Let me prove it to you then:

 
 Right after this photo was taken he proposed. But I had to say no because I am already married.



Back to the place cards:



I think the fleur de lis is especially fitting for Drew.




Darren also, since they both play for the Saints. Who Dat!





Harry loves his coffee and dessert.






I cannot wait for my party!  
I hope Oprah does not drink too much and hit on Donald like last year.


I hope you guys give these a try; they are really fun and easy to make.

Just a quick note to tell the general public about a great man who brought my husband back to me after 11 years, his name is Dr. OKO. My husband was snatched from me by another woman when I went to see my sick mother, I came home to meet the house empty my husband was not at home, he wan’t picking call none will he call back. I was left alone with our 4 years old baby, he was gone for 11 years but just a month ago a friend of mine called me to tell about oko and she gave me his contact and I did contacted him and he told me my husband was with another woman. Also, he said he will bring back my husband within a few days, I thought it was a joke but behold my husband came home begging for forgiveness just as OKO promised. Off course I forgave my husband everything became normal even more that it was before. You too can be helped by him if interested through: okotemple@live.com or call/whatsapp: +2348131684022.
