Edible Candy Bouquets and Food Craft Sweets
Anyone can give flowers or a box of candy as a gift. Why not give an incredible edible candy craft bouquet or an arrangement made from sweet treats (candy, cookies, fruit)? Every holiday features special sweet treats - why not make a decoration or gift from candy or confections you've made yourself?
For Valentine's Day decorate picture frames with candies, design candy ornaments or craft an edible gift bouquet made with candies and cookies. At Easter time, decorate cookies shaped like eggs, or create some hand-made candies dipped in chocolate and covered in pastel sprinkles.
For Christmas, make a Gingerbread house or cookies to hang on the tree and nibble until New Year. For harvest holidays or summer fun, you can create carved vegetables or fruits for the table or your friends.
Play with Your Food - sweet candy crafts and edible arrangements bring another creative dimension to Culinary Arts. Flowers are Fun, but edible Gift Bouquets made from candy, fruit, veggies, cookies or cakes are Sensational! Treat the kids to Candy Sushi or let them make Candy Crafts at the next birthday party.

Candy Covered Ornaments
Decorate Cookies or Cardboard to Make Ornaments for Any Holiday or Party
Cookies that make sturdy candy ornament bases include home made cookies: shaped sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies, or you can use packaged cookies: ginger snaps, shortbread cookies or graham crackers.
How to Make Candy Covered Ornaments
Mix up a batch of Royal Icing Glue and gather up your favorite small candies and colored sprinkles.
Spread a thin coating of icing glue on a cookie (to make an edible ornament) or cardboard shapes. Glue candies to the cookies or shapes. Glue on a ribbon or string to the back of the candy covered ornament. Allow candy ornaments to dry overnight before hanging on display rack, in window, on a holiday tree or wrapping up to use as a gift package tie-on.

Candy Crafters Meringue Powder
Wilton 8 oz. Meringue Powder Mix
Amazon Price: $9.50 (as of 02/14/2012)![]()
Adds body to royal icing, meringue, boiled icing; stabilizes buttercream. Replaces egg white in many recipes. Resealable top opens completely for easy measuring. Certified Kosher.
Candy Picture Frame Directions
2. Spread royal icing glue onto one surface of the frame border, then starting with larger size candy pieces, glue candies onto frame in whatever arrangement or pattern desired.
3. Continue around the remaining border sections, covering the frame completely with candy.
4. Use decorative candy sprinkles to fill in any blank spots, applying extra icing glue as needed.
5. Allow project to dry completely. (Royal icing dries to a very hard cement-like finish.)
6. Mount a picture to the frame from the back so it shows through the frame. Glue or tape securely to hold in place.
7. Attach a ribbon or yarn securely to back of frame near the top to create a hanger.
OPTIONAL STEP
Spray the entire frame with clear spray finish to preserve and protect the frame.
Candy picture frames won't be edible if you spray clear acrylic on to preserve them, but they'll last a longer time and still look good enough to eat!
