How to make a bouquet of sweets

A bouquet of sweets is a great gift option for adults and children, it can easily replace a bouquet of flowers and will be an original alternative to the main gift! The beautiful design of such a gift will surprise the birthday person and delight him with a cup of coffee or tea.

Original and unusual gifts are now in vogue. Presenting a bouquet of sweets will mean that you have thought about the gift and made an effort to please the recipient and surprise. You can order a candy bouquet with home delivery or make it yourself. We decided to share with you exactly how you can make a bouquet of sweets yourself.

First you need to decide what sweets the bouquet will consist of, it can be: chocolate or caramel sweets, marshmallows, marmalade, a bouquet of kinders, with Macaron cookies, you can make a flower-candy bouquet or combine all of the above options and make a mix of sweets. Today we will tell you how to make a bouquet of sweets, chocolate bars and a bottle of drink.

We select the ingredients.

 For a more even bouquet, you should choose candies and bars of the same size, so the bouquet will be easier to collect and arrange. You can also take candies of different sizes (as in our example), so the bouquet will look more stylish and versatile.

For our bouquet, we took sweets from the most famous brands: 4 large Kit Kat waffles, 8 small Kit Kat sweets, 10 Snikers sweets, 12 Twix sweets, a bottle of 0.5L Coca Cola.
You will also need:

• Skewers
• Narrow tape (2cm)
• Stationery scissors
• Packaging for your taste and tape for decoration

It is better to buy sweets in advance and put them in the refrigerator overnight. With melted sweets, it is not convenient to collect a bouquet, but it is also not worth freezing them.
Florist's advice: if you are making a bouquet for the first time, try to choose harder candy. Soft candies like Raffaello are very fragile and can wrinkle when assembling or transporting the bouquet.

How to make a candy bouquet in 3 steps?

Step 1 - attach the candies to the skewers.

It is better to fasten the sweets on a skewer in a wrapper, so they will hold better and during transportation, the bouquet can not be additionally packed. Glue the skewers to the candies to the bottom with scotch tape, wrap the whole candy tightly with adhesive tape and proceed to the next one. For large bars and chocolates, it is better to use a few skewers. We fasten the bottle with skewers from 2 or 3 sides and glue it tightly with tape so that the bottle does not break the skewers with its weight (see the video for more details).

When all the components are fixed on the skewers, we go over to the next step.

Step 2 - collect the bouquet.

Gradually glue and collect all the skewers in a bouquet. We recommend starting with the largest element, we have a bottle, and gradually glue all the other ingredients to it. The bouquet can be assembled in a circle or laid out in a cascade, as in our video. At this stage, do not rush, because the better you glue all the skewers, the better the whole composition will hold.

Step 3 - wrap the bouquet in a film.

When all the skewers are well secured and held in the pile, proceed to the wrapper. Choose packaging according to your taste or the theme of the holiday.
Cut out 3 rectangular sheets of paper and fold it in half (as shown in the video). Do not spare the paper for packaging, as it will cover all the bumps and skewers. The bouquet in the package becomes more festive and decorated.
Advice from the florist: it is better to choose tracing paper for packaging, since plain paper or craft paper is very wrinkled when assembling a bouquet. Choose paper with a pattern or print, in which the bouquet will look elegant, such paper will hide all the irregularities and imperfections.

If you are making a bouquet for your birthday, you can add a wooden topper to it, so the bouquet will look more festive and thematic. You can also experiment and add a small bottle of alcohol or flowers to the bouquet.
If the bouquet turned out to be successful, do not forget to take a couple of souvenir photos with such a creative gift. If the bouquet turned out not very good or you ate all the ingredients during the work, just place an order on our website and we will deliver the bouquet to the door.
