DIY Flower Truffle Favors

These sweet little truffle holders were created for Martha Stewart Weddings, and I’m excited to get to share them here on Pizzazzerie too! You only need a few items to create the cutest little truffle favor that is perfect for a bridal shower, wedding, or any type of celebration! Styled in  cornflower blue and melon orange hues, the ruffled silk flower holds a sweet coconut orange truffle dipped in delicious white chocolate. Yum!

Gorgeous silk flowers add a touch of ruffle and texture while creating the perfect little “holder” for your sweet favor. You can obviously pick any color you like so it will match your wedding or party. These would be so cute for a tea party too! I love them displayed on a simple cake stand or you could package them up in little clear boxes or cellophane bags. I have a resource list below this post, p.s.!

DIY Flower Truffle Favors

• Silk Flowers (the rufflier the better)
• Small Clear Cups (Plastic)
• Hot Glue

1. Pull out the center section of the flowers (leave an outside petal layer).
2. Cut the plastic cup down but leave 1/2″ rim around the edge of the bottom.
3. Place the silk flower down inside the plastic cup base and adhere with hot glue.
4. Place treat in center of flower!

Now for this delicious coconut orange truffles! You can obviously use any sweet treat recipe you prefer. In my opinion, a white or pastel truffle or little cupcake would look best. Or if you’re going for a sunflower look, then chocolate would be perfect. You get the idea! Below is my recipe for these coconut orange truffles.
