I have made a few, only have pictures of the first 2 I made though as I lost the other pictures when my laptop went back for repair! :mad:

Think it will be a lot easier for you as you do the baby boquets. I did after eights, and terrys choccy orange. I used BBQ skewers and for the smaller sweets I wrapped them in cellophane first. On the other ones I did similar but resized the skewers in a variety of lengths which looked lots better.

Thanks craftygranny I bought them from the local florist as I didn't want to bulk buy! think you can get them on ebay but they can be very expensive. I paid 70p each for mine which was fine as I don't make them too often!

I have made quite a few of these. however the first one I did make were in a galvinised bucket, with oasis at the bottom so the skewers would stay still, I didn't really have much success with this, so I tried something else.
I made this one for a friends birthday

Its made from 12 bars of chocolate and about 6 minis.
But a friend asked me a few weeks ago if I could make one up for a friend of hers 40th birthday, she bought the chocolate and I made it up, with 68 bars of chocolate, I was very impressed with, unfortunatley I don't have the photo of it yet.
