Thinking of you,

Twinkie Shower Favors
Plan on at least one Twinkie per guest. Arrange the elegantly decorated Twinkie Wedding Day favors on decorative silver trays on serving tables or surround each table's centerpiece with enough Twinkie Wedding Day Favors for each guest at the table.

Twinkie Wedding Day Favors can be decorated with white and black fondant, to resemble the white wedding gown and black tux, or choose a color to compliment the wedding colors.

Wrap each Twinkie in fondant. To do so, roll fondant to 1/8-inch thickness on a board lightly dusted with cornstarch. Wrap Twinkie in fondant, lightly brushing edges of fondant with water to seal. Position seam on underneath side of Twinkie and seal ends tightly.

Bride's Twinkie

Cover Twinkie in white. Add stripes with narrow ribbons of fondant. For collar, cut a large fluted circle, cut in half and position in ruffled fashion. Cut flowers with tiny cookie cutter and position in middle with long, flowing ribbons from flowers.

Groom's Twinkie (with top hat)

Cover Twinkie with fondant. Add topstitching to fondant by rolling a hem marking wheel lightly over fondant to mark, but not cutting through. Make a top hat with white fondant and position on one end. Add long flowing ribbons of fondant from top hat.

Groom's Tux:

Cover center of Twinkie with white fondant, then add a layer of blue, or other contrasting color of fondant to make suit. To add topstitching, by rolling a hem marking wheel lightly over fondant to mark, but not cutting through. Add buttons down center. Fashion a bow tie from white fondant ribbons and attach at one end.

Package:

Cover Twinkie with one color of fondant. Cut ribbons from a contrasting color of fondant and position as ribbons over the Twinkie. Add a bow.

Tip: Use your creativity as Twinkie Wedding Day Favors can be made to reflect the theme of the wedding. Add flowers, cut with cookie cutters, long flowing ribbons, or more formal filigree decorations. The happy couple's name, monogram or wedding date may be piped with decorator or royal frosting. Edible glitter, dusted over the fondant will create a shimmering finish.
