I love a great candy store

Candy stores can be a terrific place to get inspiration for your next
cupcake design. This one on Cannery Row in Monterey (Steinbeck
Country) was really inspiring. It has lots of terrific old fashioned
candy as well as taffy in a wide array of colors and flavors. The next
time you go into a great candy store, don't just think candy, think
cupcakes. You may just find the inspiration for your next great
cupcake project.

Here's to all you great candy detectives!
Alan and Karen

    I love this candy shop! It was the first place I went after I purchased your book, Hello, Cupcake! last year. I wish there were more like it where I live. Thanks for all the great ideas! I love your books.

    I LOVE your cupcakes and have both of your books. I can't wait to make more of your adorable designs (especially the high-heels you made for the Today Show). When I read your blog about a great candy store, I had to ask if you'd give a shout out (or come visit) my Mother-In-Law's amazing, old fashioned candy store "Ma and Pa's Candy Store" in Longrove, Illinois. You can visit her online here http://maandpascandy.com/blog.php, but her website is nothing compared to the real place! Let me know if you have a chance to visit - I'd love to meet you and your cupcake crew. Thanks for all the wonderful creative energy you bring to the world!

    This is a great idea to use a candy store for cup cake inspiration! I'm always thinking parties and goodie bags when I visit one, so I'll have to see the next one I go to with new eyes. Thanks for the creative tip.
