What a fantastic idea.. good luck with it!!! xx

Good luck, I'm making two double candy trees. Dont forget to post picks when there done.

I got two DIY kits with everything in and instructions (apart from the sweets)off the bay they were £9.99 each.. Try youtube there might be some tutorials on there. This is one I have completed.

These were just practice ones x

Kempy how did you make those? did you get a kit or do it all yourself?

The marshmellow one was all me! the lolly one my neighbough and doing a flaying saucer one too... quiet simple to do too x

YUMMY! That marshmallow tree would not last long if it was anywhere near me!

Basically you set your stick in some plaster of paris in a plant pot, we used an ordinary brown plastic plant pot and sprayed it silver. Then you drill a hole through your polysterene ball and push it on to your stick. We covered the pot with some organza and tied ribbon round to decorate it then you can stick your choice of sweets on with either cocktail sticks or if using wrapped sweets a glue gun or if unwrapped sugar and water paste. You can get most of the bits and bobs from hobbycraft or a full kit off the bay. These cost a fraction to make than what some people are selling the completed item for especially if you get your sweets in bulk from somewhere like costco.

on average how much did it all cost to make one?

how many ferroro did you need.... just want to get cost price you see so i can convince h2b we need it lol

i think i would want to to do 2 single trees that are quite tall

It cost no more than £10 each and that was by getting the bits and pieces at random shops and not at a wholesalers. The blue and red ones arent for my wedding was just a practice and is just a jubilee thing its just lollipops from the land of pound. We used a sphere shape oasis on top, covered in tinfoil so you cant see the oasis in the gaps.

they look fab hun and they are alot better then i coud do xx

I've been to a wedding place that showed me how to actually put them together, she covered the polystyrene balls with icing and stuck the marshmallows on to it whilst nearly dry. Wrap the tree straight away to keep the sweets from going hard and dust free.
You can also glue some sweets with that edible cake glue. And difficult ones you put on a thin stick and push in the balls.

ooohh joci i hadn't thought of icing

wow ladies these look lovely!

Cheryl the Marshmellow one is super easy hun. And sure there is ways to make it easier xxx

yummmmy!!!!!!!!!!! x

Wow these look yum! I saw some amazing ones at the National wedding show! Couldn't believe how expensive they are though! I might have to have a go at making some! :) xx

I might attempt to do one for H2B for on the morning on the wedding as he loves marshmallows! x
