History

Decorating With Candy Day allows you to create a cozy and even magical atmosphere in the house.

Sweets were created several millennia ago. In the ancient world, they were prepared by mixing honey with berries and nuts. Sugar candy was invented by the Greeks in the 3rd century AD. In its modern form, sweets became available only in the 16th century. Over the past centuries, they have been repeatedly refined, and new varieties have appeared.

Lollipops began to be made in the 17th century in Germany. Such treats quickly acquired festive status and can often be seen on tables during the New Year and Christmas. Lollipops are made on a caramel basis, to which natural fruit or berry juices and confectionery spices are added.
