    Never tried the edible glue but cellophane should be quite strong - or if you did one with little lollies ou would just have to poke the sticks in.
    There's a nice malteser one online but thats done with cocktail sticks - and I agree - would rather not have them used where kids invloved.

    Yeah I have done the malteaser one before on a polysterene cone and then used edible glue to put glitter on it - was gorgeous! Will have a play around on the weekend! Do you know if the flying saucer one is made with cocktail sticks as well? x

    Not bene able to find out about the flying saucer one - but I would think you could email one of the makers online to ask if they have cocktail sticks in them? Seems a legitimate question if you were buying for kids.

    Lovely ones here.
    Says will
    Will stay fresh for up to 4 months if kept in their packaging in a cool dry place
    Presumable wrapped in cellophane.

    Hi, i tried making a malteser one this weekend but the glue didn't hold, do yo think this was because i was using cellophane? also should i use icing instead of glue, will this hold better? Thank you :)

    Not sure how good the food glue is - I meant the cellophane would be covering it when it was finished.

    Just been googling and someone has used oasis instead of polysteirine - probably a lot cheaper?

    Just wondering - which is the best to buy - the wet or dry one? One is more crumblier I think but can't recall which!

    Polystyrene would be better then oasis as its stronger oasis both wet and will crumble away a bit
