    (For my daughters wedding I made these http://bahava.wordpress.com/2008/03/...oreo-truffles/, the bark is simply chocolate drops. The taste was devine but the first batch were too soft so I added approx 10oz of melted plain choc to the mixture. I then let it cool before I rolled them. Also before I dipped them I popped them in the freezer, ready rolled, to really chill them. I coated them with 2 coats of white choc then when hard I drizzled them with chocolate and finally sprinkled them with edible glitter. A bit of a fuss to make but well worth it. We kept them in boxes in the freezer and then I decorated the 3 wedding cakes with them. )



    This is from the truffle post on another section. You will need the additional chocolate as they are way too soft to work with otherwise.
    Of course you can post it on the wedding forum, glad people like the idea.

    58383_472624808412_538243412_6620513_6785304_n.jpg This is what I made for my daughters wedding a few weeks ago. There are 3 different cakes, fudge, carrot, plain sponge. On top of each cake was a pile of hand made truffles, various recipes but the Oreo ones were by far the nicest. I then made the 3 white chocolate domes and when solid I flipped them over the cakes and decorated them as you can see. I was really proud of it as I have never tackled anything like this before. Best of all is they loved it :)

    sorry just saw the cakes and had to say they look absolutely gorgeous
