Forgot to stock in candy for Halloween? Or got snacking a little early and need to fill in the gaps? We have candy recipes for you! You just need some sugar, water, perhaps a few cooking implements, some flavors — and if you really get on a roll, maybe a little scaffolding!
Learn the basics from The confectioner (1880).
And then work up something special from
The Italian confectioner (1881): perhaps add in some flowers (
page 42) or try some chocolate candy (
page 50)?
If you really get in the zone, perhaps try one of the elaborate concoctions from
The Royal Parisian pastrycook and confectioner (1834), like the cake arrangements on
page 26 or
page 345?
