About two or three weeks ago, I started making my own honey sticks and it has been an awesome experience as I relate the honey sticks directly to my childhood.

I am doing an event on Saturday and wanted to take a different approach on how to present them. I think the box that Glory Bee offers really is cheap looking so I wanted to make something better and more unique.

And... I just am learning how to build and use all my tools.

here are some pics...

It is a lazy susan and the top round spins on ball bearings. The honey bears are attached to the top round.

I am filling the straws by hand right now. Hopefully a machine will come soon! :)

Chef,
One thing you learned very well from your trade is that: 'presentation is everything'. I like your idea. We were considering something on that order, but I like yours better. I better mimic it before the copyright takes effect!

I can make you one if you would like. It is really simple really.

Nice display. If your sales will be anything like mine, you will be filling the bears often.
How do you fill straws by hand?

Chef, how are you sealing the straws?

Well magnet, my wife said I have a full head of hot air so I just blow on each side! :)

I use an impulse sealer. :)

I like the idea. Just some advice, you might want to think on- When placed on a 30" high table, the buyer will have to crane his/her neck to see labels on the bears. If you moved the bears closer to center of lazy susan, you would have a location directly in front of the bears to place the flavor label, prices, etc. ;)
