Ah you have all completely inspired me!

My daughters would love those lollipop ones :money:.

I checked 'candy bouqets' on youtube and this lady makes a huge one with a vase and loads of ribbons- its looks amazing.

I think i might make one for my brother. Would it look silly if i used some camera film to stick up aswell as sweets (he's a photographer) and just bulked it up with things he loves? I could put money on and a big 30 sticking out of the top?

Tell me if this sounds ridiculous lol

I have only just came across this thread and I have a question- or two.I would love to do this and have looked online and know how to do the wrapped sweet version but what about unwrapped ones? I saw one with licorice catherine wheels ans another with sugared almonds. The sugared almonds one was made by adding a dab of glue to each sweet!!! Don't think my Dad would be pleased with that. And one with haribo. any ideas on a more eater friendly was to attach these type of sweeties?

icing sugar might work as it would act like a 'glue'

Hi, just a quick question about the sweet trees, if you are making them with sweet that do not have wrappers do you have to coat the foam in anything or just use edible glue? Thanks

skintbint_2

you would really have to cover the foam as the foam would come away with the glue and if it is florist oasis there is a lot of dust!

Last December, I made this sweet bouquet for my daughter when she was in hospital having my third grandson. She loves Lindt chocolates .........needless to say it did n't last long !
