Custom Petit Four Wedding Favors

How many times have you received jordan almonds at a wedding and feared the loss of a tooth upon consumption? There are only so many knick knacks a couple can offer their guests before every little thing becomes “same ol’”. Perhaps consider going the “Castanza” route, and give donations to the “Human Fund” (aka nadda)?  However, I think that may seriously increase the chance of a rock being exchanged for bird seed as you exit that evening. Instead of “things” consider something incredible (custom, artistic, unique) and edible (petit fours, mini cupcakes, cookies)!

Today, Treet was honored to provide a lovely couple their wedding favors- two monogrammed petit fours, in their wedding colors, placed in an environmentally friendly kraft box, and adorned with a matching raffia bow. Simple, elegant, custom and a sweet bite after a great night of dancing!

"I Heart You!" Treet Box Brownies

“They sure don’t make’em like they used to”- came to mind when I opened my first box of Sweethearts Conversational Hearts this Valentines Day season.  I wanted to make my VDAY “I Heart You!” Treet Box speak the words of love via the little chatty candies.  I was seriously disappointed at my options!  The hearts were just not “speaking my language”!  They had comments on them like “text me” & “hey you”.  What happened to the classics?  I wanted the “love you”, “say yes”, “xoxo”.  Which they did have, but few and far between.  Which leads me to my next gripe- I think the machine that is printing onto the little hearts has a drinking problem.  A very serious one that probably involves bourbon of some sort- judging from the slurred angle of the lettering.  Most of the hearts in my boxes either had NO words at all (what kinda conversational heart is that), the words were barely legible, or the lettering was falling off the heart.  Sweethearts…I hate for it to get to this point, but I think it’s time we see other candies.  It’s not you, it’s me…really.

Christmas Mini Cupcake Towers

Treet had the opportunity to “deck the halls” with cupcakes for a surprise party last night in Old Town, VA.  The mini cupcake towers were decorated to mimic little edible Christmas trees!  I got so into the spirit of things I munched on a few branches of my own tree when I got home…it was not as delicious…in fact it was prickly and tasted like air freshener.  I hope the party guests enjoyed the smooth and creamy little mini cupcakes on their “trees” better!
