Ferreror Roche bouquet?

OK last minute panic... :)

Anyone have any alternative ideas for making a bouquet with these that does NOT involve sticking the wooden skewer in the chocolate? I'm wondering if some golden wire might work for tying the chocs to the skewers some how?

Ideas gang? :)

    double sided sticky tape is my best friend :)
    ive made a rafaelo one,i tried the skewers glued to the back of the packs but i didn't like how it looked so re-done it last night,i filled a vase with tissue paper then sat some of the sweets on top of that so they was near the top of the vase,then added a piece of double sided tape to each sweet and arranged,i then added two piece's of tissue paper around the outide of the vase and secured with ribbon

    I really wanted something that involved sticks and tissuepapers and looked big lol - I do love your creations Giggle :) But not sure how I could fix the chocs to the stick as they have that annoying papercasing - even if I take it off I don't know how to fix it... Hmmmm Maybe I'm asking too much in wanting them to be edible afterwards lol :D

    a hot glue gun would probably work
    or cut out some cellphane squares, put the rocher in the middle and gather it round, then the ends of the cellphane you can sellotape to the stick. the rocher remains intact, as the cello is see-through the effect remains the same.

    My daughter absolutely loves Lindt chocolates, I wonder if I could incorporate this idea into a nappy cake I am making her for my grandson due 21st December. Maybe on the top layer around the soft toy.

    That's exactly what I was trying to explain lol.:T
    It's obviously easier when you have a sweet wrapper to attach, the ferrero rocher are awkward to do.(but lovely to eat;))

    I used to make some of those flowers in the link above and then arrange them into a bouquet in the teddy's arms, as though he were holding them.
