ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

Matt James professional event planner

“While these smashable chocolates make a great gift on their own, what I really like about them is that they create a moment to bring everyone together; a bit like blowing out the candles on a cake.

So you could leave it on show as part of your dessert table display, then bring the guest of honor out to smash it to indicate that the dessert table is now open.”
