Center piece?

I have to make a 3ft centerpiece for a table for our churchs auction. the theme is "a world of pure imagination" willy wonka style and I am looking for suggestions. They would like it more elaborate versus a bunch of candies glued on sticks for they will auction it off and would like one to be able to utilize it. I dont know how many people have a candy theme going on in their homes, so that is why I would like to incorporate mabye like a golden ticket and some candies but need help with the elaborate part of it. Thanks in advance....
