Hi again. Sorry about the confusion on the picture I had heading my post yesterday. It was meant to be lower down on the post only, to show the Universal Honeydukes that Im trying to emulate but afew of you thought that was my own version so far.......I wish!! Mine dosnt have the spiral staircase, but does have the same units, lettering, flooring and soon, lots of candy, so Im trying, and flattered you think It will be that good lol!!
Anyways as promised heres a few pics of some of the candy made so far. If you click on the pics you'll see them close up for all the colour variations! I had a night of rock and lollipop making. Some are large long sticks of rock which are going in tall jars and standing on each step of the pink staircase. So all the candy will be going up the stairs. I want it to look stacked with sweets!
The smaller stacks will go in a tall cabinet, and the little jars are having ribbon around the tops and acetate tops as they just fit inside the small glass fronted unit I have that takes 40 jars. as you can just see they have tiny honeydukes labels on them. In these jars will be things such as marshmallow flumps, bonbons, strawberry lips, jellied eggs, gumdrops etc.
I have made loads of lollipops. in various style and colours.They will again go in jars, and Ill make some displays out of fimo too. Some will be kept for my Honeydukes Hogwarts candy cart to be completed later. But there are spares so those with candy stores , as promised some will be coming your way!
Hoping my frogs will be done by Tuesday so I can complete the sherbert display counter for you to see.
A lovely glorious day today, we have already taken the children down to the riverside, and now back to watch the Wimbledon tennis final before I carry on with some more jar filling sessions!
Have a fun Sunday

Michelle, some are already put aside for you hun, and Julia, as i got abit carried away!! But Ill be happy to make rock stacks for you. I was just playing with mine and they arnt all the same size next time Id be more structured and make them all the same length etc! I think your going to like the sherbert and Bertie beans displays, cant wait to finish them. Im so pleased you doing a sweet shop as I miss making them already! Enjoy the beautifu day! xxx
Wow Kate! I've just taken some time to review this and your previous posts ... your Honeydukes is spectacular! Having just visited the WWoHP, I'd say you have captured the look and the feel of the shop wonderfully. Look at all that candy! I like your ideas for Gladrags and combining Zonko's and Ollivanders and Pottages. Many of those shops were just facades but with beautifully dressed windows. What fun you're having!
Susan, thats exactly what Im having lots of fun, its such a great project to do! I must say Im dying to do Glad rags too, it will be equally as colourful and full! If only we had our own Harry Potter world here in the UK. I hate to fly so my dream of visiting wont come true unless I could apparate one day!!! xxx

Everything is looking awesome Kate :)
I had heard that you were a champion sweet maker and now I can see the rumours under stated the fact!
They are all wonderful Kate. So professional looking. I can't decide on my favourites they are all so yummy and inviting.
I can't wait to see all the jars filled and on display.
