We’ve been tasked with creating a candy buffet with a Beyond the GALAxy theme for Kids Cancer Care's yearly Dad and Daughter Gala. This has sent us down a very sparkly rabbit hole of mirror balls, metallics, stars, bright cosmic colours and, naturally, a candy buffet theme we’ve affectionately na...

The Stickers Have a Story… Every year, our Advent Calendar is more than just candy; it’s an experience. From the cubes you unwrap to the candy you discover, every detail is designed to make December feel magical. And this year, the magic wouldn’t be complete without the artwork that ties it all t...

Fresh Cotton Candy Has a Clock Cotton candy is one of those wonderfully simple treats that feels a little bit like magic. Sugar goes in, a fluffy cloud comes out, and somewhere along the way we're expected not to eat half of it ourselves. But that light, fluffy texture also means cotton candy is...

What Working at a Candy Company Taught Me About Trying New Things I didn't think I liked green apple candy. Actually, that's putting it mildly. For years, green apple was an automatic no for me. I've been burned before, and eventually it just sort of became part of my personality. I don't like gr...

There’s More Than One Way to Cotton Candy Cotton candy can be a live experience, a grab-and-go treat, a branded giveaway, a party favour, a cake topper or even the cake itself. So when someone asks us about adding cotton candy to an event, one of the first things we want to know is how you want ...

Make It Yours Absolutely. Cotton candy is ridiculously customizable, which is one of the reasons we love working with it. For birthdays, weddings, showers, anniversaries and celebrations of all kinds, we can work with your colours, flavours and theme to create something that feels like it was ma...

This is an important question that absolutely no one asked me. If I were stranded on a desert island and, for reasons we don't need to examine too closely, I was allowed to bring exactly five candies with me, what would I choose? First, some ground rules. In this hypothetical situation, I already...

It Turns Out Candy Just Changed Jobs. Why do we stop buying candy... but never stop loving it? It's something I've caught myself thinking about more than once. As kids, candy didn't require an occasion. We spent our allowance on it, traded it at school, picked it out at the movie theatre, and p...

Some of the Best Countdowns Happen in Every Other Season If you ask most people what an Advent calendar is for, you'll probably get the same answer. "Counting down to Christmas." They're not wrong. Christmas is where the tradition began, and it's still our favourite time of year to pull out an Ad...

What Blind Candy Tastings Teach Us About Memory Here's a question for you. If I handed you one of your favourite candies and asked you to close your eyes before taking a bite, would you know exactly what it was? Almost everyone says yes! One of my favourite parts of introducing a Blind Candy Ta...

First, Tell Us What You’re Planning Corporate events can mean a lot of different things. It could be a holiday party for your entire company, a conference with hundreds of attendees, an employee appreciation event, a product launch or gala. It could also be a home builder event, grand opening, o...

Why Nostalgia Is One of the Most Powerful Marketing Tools One of my favourite marketing lessons didn't come from a textbook, a conference, or even one of our own activations. It came from a dad, a little boy, and a can of Tahiti Treat. A few years ago, we were part of an end-of-year school celebr...
