Idea about funding/advertising

I had an idea of how we could gain money to fund the exhibition as well as applying for funding. We could sell Sugar Skull making kits leading up to the exhibition with all profits funding the exhibition. The Sugar Skull would attract customers through it being a strong image in popular culture at the moment. The kit would contain a mould for making a sugar skull, a bag of sugar, a recipe to make the skull, information on the Day Of The Dead, information on the exhibition (thus advertising the exhibition) and an invite, inviting customers to bring a sugar skull they have made to be part of the exhibition. Because the exhibition isnt actualy going to occur, we would just need to produce an example of the information about the Day Of The Dead and of the exhibition which would be similar to the factsheets we already planned on producing. Also we could use the vacume former to create a mold and then use it, like we said before to create examples of sugar skulls and we need to write up the recipe & draw up design ideas for packaging. I also thought we could email local shops asking if they would stock the product if it existed & why/why not?

What do you all think of the idea? Please comment below.
