History of Decorating With Candy Day

There is little evidence as to when this holiday was created or by whom. What we do know is that it must have been dreamt up by someone who has a sweet tooth and a love for candy. This holiday falls perfectly between Christmas and Valentine’s Day. The memories of gingerbread houses are just a distant enough memory and the anticipation of heart-shaped chocolates is a bit too far in the future. Enter Decorating with Candy Day, the perfect day to tide us over and scratch that itch for sweet things. 

The origins of candy can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians. They created the first candy by combining fruits, nuts, and honey. Honey has been a firm favorite sweet throughout history and is even mentioned in the “Bible.” In India, sugarcane juice was boiled to create pieces of sugar which were then eaten. The Persians soon caught on and began their sugarcane farming thereafter. The manufacturing of candy began during the middle ages. During that period sugar was very expensive and a luxury only the rich could afford. 

Before the Industrial Revolution, candy was considered a medicine and was used to calm the digestive system or cool a sore throat. As mentioned, given the cost of sugar, these luxurious sweets could only be afforded by the wealthy and were often served during their dinner parties. A popular candy of the time, called “chamber spice” was made with cloves, ginger, aniseed, juniper berries, almonds, and pine kernels dipped in melted sugar. During the Industrial Revolution, many changes took place that resulted in candy becoming more accessible to the general public. The target market also grew to include children which soon became the market that kept most candy stores in business.
