Decorative Caramel Apples {Home Decor Contributor Post}

Hi Sugar Bee Friends!

It’s Ariean from One Krieger Chick here again! Today, I’m going to share how I created Decorative Caramel Apples…Perfect for your Fall Decor! (or anytime…they are just that cute!)

I always love how magazines and catalogs stage their rooms with food…cute food. But food is not a practical choice for decorations in a house with three curious and always hungry boys. For my upcoming Fall Home Tour, I wanted to decorate with some cute food…What’s cuter for Fall than a Caramel Apple?!

Here’s how I made them using supplies I already had on hand…

You’ll need:

Decorative Apples-Mine are small, Styrofoam and look like Granny Smith
Caramel colored paint
Paintbrush
Cake pop sticks or skewers
bakers twine or ribbon

I chose to use a darker chocolate brown paint and mix in a pearl white to give the “caramel” a glossy look.

Once the paint was mixed to the color I liked, I simply dipped the apples in the paint.

If some of them looked less than perfect, I used a paintbrush to even out the lines of the paint. Here’s a “less than perfect” dipping…

Allow paint to dry. Then, I cut the cake pop sticks in half. With a larger apple, you could use the entire stick. I removed the existing apple stem and replaced it with the cake pop stick.Super cute…and pretty realistic too…
