A Sweet Party/Gift Tip

If you are in charge of making a sweet for a party or event or simply want to give a gift to someone, I have a great way to dress it up. If you are anything like me, sometimes your treats will come out looking a little sloppy. For cupcakes, cookies, truffles, candies, or anything of the sort, it is all about the presentation. If you have messed up your treat a bit and it doesnt look perfect, first I just want to say, THAT IS OKAY. Nothing is absolutely perfect unless you are trying to enter in a contest. So, go to your local craft store and find a pretty basket or container. For the picture I posted, I found this super cute wooden box in the basket aisle of Michaels. I then bought a styrofoam block in a few aisles down (just because I was doing truffle pops on a stick) and then I found cute paper pink confetti and filled the box with that. To make it even better, a few more aisles down you will find cute clear platic wrappers of all sizes. If you made rice crispy treats or cookies, these are perfect for those. Even for candies. And then I go down to the ribbon aisle. They have such an amazing assortment of ribbons. These will be used to tie the wrappers. Once your treats are nicely wrapped, place them on the pink confetti in the box and you are ready to go. For truffles, there is another aisle where they have mini cupcake wrappers/holders. They come in so many cute decorations and colors. Place the truffle in the holder and then place them on the pink confetti in the box. At this point, the presentation is so beautiful that nobody will notice the imperfections. This is such a cute, fun, and easy idea that will really wow the crowd.
