The BIG Order

I finished the whole BIG order in a week and held my breath till it arrived on the 26th, only to be told they hadn't opened the boxes yet to look at them! Oh the torture of waiting! Turns out 2 of the boxes had LOTS of broken sunshines =( 1 box was in great shape but had nearly all broken lollis inside. Another box was smushed, but only a couple were broken. So yesterday the race began to get 96 more BIG lollis done and ready for shipping tomorrow morning. Oy!!

It's teaching me to mind the clock however! I have been both slave and master to the kitchen timer for the past 24 hours (minus a few for sleeping lol).

Woo HUGE Order!

I've officially made it in the candy world! This week I am starting on a massive 255 piece order that I personally created the molds for. They are 6 inch round suns with intricate detailing. All will be yellow and lemon flavored and awesome! I am so excited. The deposit has been received, the materials are all here minus the huge bags of sugar and bottles corn syrup that I will pick up over the weekend and Monday the insanity begins! If you have a minute, come check out some of the new listings I've put up at www.customcandycreations.etsy.com!
