Make sweet cones by choosing your packaging and sweets together, then calculating the amount for your own design. This is a practical planning guide, with representative product images rather than a photographed finished cone.
Choose cone bags described as suitable for direct food contact, together with a closure and any gift tags you want. Those supplies are separate from the sweet jars shown below.
Pick the exact sweets and decide whether you want layers or a mix. Use the products’ real appearance and written contents rather than treating a styled image as a colour or quantity guarantee.
Make one sample for your own cone size
Use one of your chosen bags to check the fill level and how much room the closure needs. If you want several layers, keep a note of the amount of each product used.
Weigh your own filling if you are buying by net weight. Multiplying that amount by the number of cones gives a shopping target; divide by the supplied pack weight and round up to whole packs.
Fill, close and keep the product details
Repeat your chosen arrangement, keeping track of the quantity used so the final cones are consistent with your own plan. Close the bags using the method intended for that packaging.
Retain the original ingredients, allergen, best-before and storage information for every sweet used. Follow those product instructions when deciding when to assemble and share your cones.
