Hi Rita I produce this piece in Gold Coast and transported to Sydney 1000 km. Few precautions you can take. Make chocolate sheet thicker. Place a wooden scewer behind the holder and hide with chocolate. Keep always some frozen water bottles ( 2 lt.) in your freezer and when you delivering your work, pack in a box with close lid . Wrap the frozen bottle with news paper . secure the bootle in one of the corner inside the box in standing position with thin wire . good luck and thanks
