Candy Coated Place Settings

My Candy Coated Place Settings are an easy and fun way to sweeten up your next dinner party!

 

Start your place setting off with my candy mosaic plates.  They are a lot of fun and very easy to make; plus, it’s a great opportunity go get creative with your design.

You’ll Need:

• Royal Icing
• Candies such as Reese’s Pieces,  Jelly beans, etc.
• Plates

Method:

• Spread the royal icing onto your plate with about 1/4 inch thickness.  This will act as the grout to hold the candies in place.
• Lay the candies onto the royal icing and press lightly to secure them.
• Let dry until royal icing is hard before using.

Tip:
Royal icing is the perfect adhesive because it is easily washed off and will not ruin your plates!

 

My Sweet Silverware is an easy way to sweeten up your eating utensils!

You’ll Need:

• Twizzlers Pull n Peel

Method:

• Dab the bottom of the silverware with a small amount of royal icing and apply a strand of the Pull n Peel.  Allow the icing to dry, holding the Pull n Peel in place.
• Wrap the handle of the silverware with the Pull n Peel strand, all the way to the top and then apply another dab of royal icing to hold the Pull n Peel in place

 

My Sugared Stemware is the perfect way to sweeten up every sip of your drink!
