Giving bouquets of sweets is a long-standing European tradition. Interior compositions and hand-made bouquets of sweets allow not only to get enough of delicacies, but also delight the addressee with their exquisite beauty and remind for a long time of a happy event. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish candy bouquets made of Italian corrugated paper from fresh flowers.

It is impossible to imagine the New Year holidays without a sweet treat. But sweets can be presented not only in a traditional box, but also used in New Year's decor.
