Edible wedding favors are always a firm favorite with wedding guests, who appreciate something sweet to eat after a traveling to the wedding and sitting through the ceremony! And whilst you can buy a wide range of ready made edibles for your wedding favors, there is nothing like making your own to give your favors the unique and personal touch.
Cookies and Mini Cakes
Custom cookies and mini cakes or cup cakes are very popular at the moment but to have them custom made from a baker or cake maker is very expensive, with some costing around $ 8 each. For 100 guests that works out at a whopping $ 800, about the price of the average wedding cake! So making your own versions is far less expensive and gives you opportunity to exercise a little creative magic in the kitchen!
Experiment with flavorings such as chocolate, orange, cherry, almond and lemon. Make some different flavors or varieties of cookie and bag them up in a little goody bag. Mini cakes are simply square blocks of cake covered with fondant icing which you simply roll out and lay on top. They are very easy to do and if you purchase a cake mix from a bakers shop it is even easier!
The beauty of cookies and cakes is that they can be made to suit any style of wedding, any wedding theme and match any color combinations.
Chocolates and Candies
You do not need to be a master confectioner or chocolatier to create your own chocolates and candies. You can purchase kits from the internet which contain everything you need to get started and all the ingredients and equipment you need is readily available too.
Preserves and Conserves
These are a little trickier but as long as you do not go for anything too exotic or unusual you should be ok. The best thing about these is they can be made in big pans so making lots of jars for your guests will not be a time consuming task. You can purchase glass jars from the internet in bulk quantities and printable labels are also readily available to personalize them.
Preserves and preserves are perfect for a wedding with a seasonal theme as there is something that fits with any time of year. They can also work for a garden wedding or other type of outdoor location. Think about using seasonal produce as it will taste fantastic and will be in ready supply making it cheaper.
