The products made today were a total hit because they even sold out among us.In general today was a great and successful day I thank everyone for being on time and listening to instructions.

Plate Presentation of all Candies: The Presentation of the candies in this photo was well put together. The dark colored holders that the candies were placed in really makes the variety of colors stand out. The cloth that was placed underneath makes the entire presentation elegant and appealing to the eyes.
Box Presentation: Considering the quantity of candies that were prepared, I was amazed to see how beautifully everything came together once it was placed in the box. It looked as though I actually purchased these treats from a Chocolate Shop. When I went to work later on that day, my co-workers and manager were also impressed by the presentation and were convinced that I bought the candies from an actual chocolate shop.
Plate Presentation: As I looked at each teams plate of candies I liked that they were placed in a certain order. Some were placed in a circle with one in the middle, which looked like a flower.The way the polish walnut was placed on an angle gave some height to a treat that is relatively flat.
