What to use?

To create an upper and lower case alphabet out of sweets as well as perhaps a light or bold font, I will need quite a lot of sweets.

Here are the sweets I have selected:

I have gone for a theme that ties in with liquorice all-sorts: pink; yellow and blue. I have then chosen various different shapes and sizes of sweets which should hopefully allow me to make all 26 letters and possibly a thicker or thinner font as well. I think I may need to practise using them before I go into the photography studio (perhaps with a knife as well) to ensure that it all works before I commit.
