Just wondering if anyone out there has experience making truffle trees. I am going to make one this weekend, and since math is definitly not my strongest asset i am curious as to how many truffles you used to make certain height trees. How many truffles did you use for a 12inch, 10 inch tree, etc. Thanks!
Like one of these?
I have never made one but would love to be left in a room alone with one 
I have absolutely no idea how you would work out the surface area of a cone, but I think that's what you'd have to do to then work out how many truffles you need (say the area is 40" you would need 40 1" truffles...or something).
I think someone like Doug would be able to help better on this, you could PM him in case he doesn't see the post 
yes, exactly like that! so funny that you posted that pic because i have it saved in my computer for inspiration when i do make one! Im wanting to make one for Christmas, but I want it to be really nice so im trying to do at least 2 practice ones before that.
If theres anyone that even knows how i might go about calculating it, that would be helpful. The base of the cone is about 6 inches across and its about 12 inches tall.
I remember a thread about these a bit ago...
FOUND IT!
