Candy-covered tree a labor of love at Brooklyn Heights co-op
Visions of sugar plums danced in Pamela Harwood’s head this Christmas — along with gumballs, jelly beans, Sugar Dots, Sweet Tarts, Tootsie Rolls, ice cream cones, Candy Corn and Red Hots.
Harwood is the brains (and hands) behind a stunning 12-foot Christmas tree in the lobby of a Brooklyn Heights co-op that literally meets the definition of eye candy.
The ornaments — put together from pounds of candy, plus papier-mâché, glue and (in the case of the cupcakes) plaster — are a work of love for Harwood. Like one of Santa’s elves, she has been cutting, pasting and glue-gunning sugar treats in her workshop since September.
