My Big Fat Engagement – Engagement Advice & Warnings

Chocolate is all-purpose – it’s supposed to be an aphrodisiac and it’s tied up with ideas of romance (first dates, Valentine’s Day, gifts from your sweetheart); but it’s also there to console you after a break-up or on pretty much any day when you feel like you just need to treat yourself (at least, that’s chocolate in my life…).

Here are some ideas to sweeten up your wedding proposal…

Edible Engagement Ring Box

This box from conversationpieces.org comes with a candy ring but you could just replace it with a real engagement ring.

Or it would also be a cute favor at an engagement party!

Who’s the Lucky Girl?

Another option, from the same company, you could order chocolate fortune cookies – they let you personalize the fortunes inside! Why not have them all say, “Will You Marry Me?”

A Very Personal Message

You could also write a message on yourself if you think your true love would find that tasteful!

Ask “You Wanna?” With a Pinata!

Check out the cool pinata cake below and just imagine that there’s a diamond engagement ring inside when she cracks it open! How cool would that be? There’s a recipe for this type of cake at the Australian Women’s Weekly website.

Hand Over Your Heart

A simple, yet romantic gesture – order one of these sweet little boxes of chocolates and replace one of the candies with the ring (bonus – you get to eat one of them!). Then wrap it all back up and bring along to present to your sweetheart during the perfect romantic date…

Sweeten your love story by giving these boxes out later as wedding favors. The really sweet news is that you can order them online for only $7.75 at godiva.com,  leaving more money to buy the engagement ring, like this tasty 2K treat!
