Hi everyone,

Im hoping to make one for my niece for her 5th birthday on 27th december I guessed with her birthday so close to christmas this would be something different and she will most likely get alot of toys from santa and family anyway - cant wait for payday tomorrow so I can get the stuff I need

Edible glue is great and chocolate spread works

Blimey, never knew these existed, then looking round a wedding fair, there was a company trying to sell us them as table decorations -

£70 each! looks like we could make our own for a lot less than that

Has anyone got any ideas of what to put on for my son's 5th birthday? I'm not keen on hard lollipops for little ones, and I'd prefer wrapped sweets as well.

Hey! Ive made a couple of sweet trees now, marshmallows was the easiest and looked the best! Jazzles and smarties!
The smarties kept sliding off the melted chocolate and i could have thrown it across the room but after waiting until the choclate went nearly hard they stuck pretty well!
And how would the chocolate spread work? Surely it wouldnt harden and stick?
Also for those who are looking for pots to put them in, i just use mugs (Pound land =P). Their also heavier!
