Sugar City Candy-Themed Focal Point

Behold, the magic of Sugar City! A vibrant confectionary focal point of candyland fantasy and holiday cheer.

It’s fun, it's whimsical, but above all, it’s memorable.

Larger-than-life peppermint trees, macarons, cupcakes, and a Nutcracker soldier, create a fantastical Candyland atmosphere that captivates attention and evokes a sense of playful wonder.

Glowing, pastel-hued towers add an enchanting, soft light that elevates the ambiance and makes the display feel magical and dynamic.

Careful detailing, from sprinkled ornaments to frosted cakes, creates a rich, textured presentation that is visually intricate and cohesive in design.

• Shape the peppermint trees to mimic the natural twists and contortions of real Manzanita branches.

• To attach each floral spray to the wood disk, curl the lower part of the wire stem to make a flat coil base.
• Hot glue, Velcro, or staple the coil base to the wood disk.
• For added stability for the larger Manzanita branch, attach with floral wire.
• Mark each side of the curled stem in 3 (or more) places on the disk with a pencil.
• Drill a small hole on each pencil line all the way through the disk.

• With the Sugar City skyline in place, position the nutcracker as the charming gatekeeper.
• Arrange the flower & trees on bases for a balance of height and color.
• Decorate the Manzanita tree with blooms of dainty & glittered glass macaron ornaments.
• As a final touch, make a gateway with Waffle Cone Candy Trees on white candlestick pedestals.
