Interesting facts about sweets and bouquets

1. The first bouquets of sweets appeared at the beginning of the new century - in 2001.
2. Candy compositions can and should be stored at temperatures from fifteen to twenty-three degrees above zero. At any other temperature, the taste of sweets will be lost, and they themselves will acquire a white coating, as happens on expired sweets and chocolates.
3. The shelf life of any chocolate bouquet should not exceed six months.
4. Previously, sweets were considered medicine. The same properties were initially attributed to chocolate, but then it began to be called demonic food. It was even forbidden for pregnant women to eat it - it was believed that chocolate could cause them to give birth to a black baby.
5. The most expensive candies in the world are produced and sold in Switzerland. The whole point is not in the sweets themselves, but in their candy wrappers: the fact is that real gold threads are added to them. And in Belgium, sweets are made not in production, but by hand - which is why their cost is also very high.
6. The world's largest and heaviest candy was produced in the United States. It weighed as much as three tons, and to create it, confectioners needed the help of stepladders.
7. Pralines are considered the oldest sweets - and one of the most beloved - in the world, which appeared back in the seventeenth century.

Unusual sweet gift for a girl

You can present it to her for the New Year, on Valentine's Day, on March 8, on the anniversary of your acquaintance, or just to cheer up your loved one. Depending on what kind of relationship you have with the girl, how long you have known her for a long time, these will be the criteria for choosing a gift and its design.

Find out the size of your chosen one's feet in order to present her with shoes. If you are unsure whether they will suit her, then buy nice slip-on house shoes. This makes it easier not to make a mistake with the size. To give an unusual gift to a girl, you will need:

• stylish house slippers with a fabric base at the top;
• matching taffeta;
• glue;
• sweets in a beautiful wrapper;
• beads.

Cut equal squares of taffeta with a side of 7 cm. Find the middle, holding it, lift the edges up. You will end up with blanks like a bag that need to be sewn together. Place candies in the center of some, gluing them behind the wrapper, and attach the beads in the same way. If the shoes are leather, then attach this structure to it using a matching satin ribbon, and tie the same one at the heel. If it is rag, then you can secure the candies this way or sew a decorative element made of taffeta and candies to the base. You can cut out a heart from cardboard, glue sides made of the same material to it, and place a similar composition of thin fabric, sweets, and beads inside. If you and your chosen one have a long-term relationship, then you can present an unusual gift to the girl so that she understands the seriousness of your intentions. To make a candy stroller you will need:

• colored cardboard;
• candies in a triangular wrapper;
• double sided tape;
• glue;
• scissors.

From the cardboard, cut a strip of paper 18 cm long and 6 cm wide. To avoid confusion, let's call this part the letter A. Now we need to cut two more strips, from which we will make sectors for candies.
The one from which you will roll two sectors should be 10 cm long. From the second you need to make three triangles, its length is 14 cm. Roll triangles from it as in the photo. From the small strip you will get two of them. Wrap these blanks with the part named letter A, gluing the sectors, and attaching them in the same way to this outer tape. The sectors should be of such a size that the candies fit well in them and do not fall out. Therefore, it is better to cut out ribbons from cardboard, based on your calculations.

Glue a cardboard tape on the bottom side of the stroller, the end of which should be wrapped in the form of a handle. With another strip of thick paper you need to wrap two candies so that they become wheels. Attach them to the stroller using double-sided tape. Such a gift will certainly impress the girl and show your serious attitude towards her. Of course, it’s nice to drink aromatic tea with these sweets. And if you arrange a surprise for your beloved, then a great mood is guaranteed. Print in advance on colored paper or write wonderful wishes and warm words. Cut them into heart shapes and glue them to the ends of the tea bag strings. You can also express your emotions, tell them that you missed your loved one and were really looking forward to meeting you.

DIY chocolate vase

She will also certainly like this unusual gift, just like the next one. It would be good if there was not an ordinary vase on the table, but a chocolate one with fresh berries. Watch a short master class that will teach you how to make it. Take:

• ball;
• a bar of white and dark chocolate;
• 2 saucepans;
• bowl;
• thread;
• a needle.

To keep the ball stable, place it in a bowl with the knotted end on top. Pour dark chocolate over it first, then white chocolate. Thus, alternating colors, perform several layers.

Gift-bouquet for loved ones from underwear

If you have a close relationship with her, then you can give not only a sweet present, but also underwear, making a bouquet of roses out of it. Pink and red lace panties are perfect for this. They need to be folded in half lengthwise, twisted into a bud shape. You will also need stems from artificial flowers. Attach the resulting blanks to their tops using thin elastic bands or matching threads. All that remains is to connect the flowers and frame them with wrapping paper.

In response to such an unusual gift for a girl, she can give her boyfriend one of her own on the same theme.
