I took my granddaughter to the Old Lolly Shop in Takapuna this morning. Stephen, who has been making sweets for over 30 years, gave a whole bunch of kids a demonstration on how to make lollipops from scratch.They were enthralled as he melted the sugar, let it cool a little , pulled it, dyed it and twisted it to create the stripy effect. Then he cut each child a length , let then coil their own lollipop, and push the stick in while it was still soft enough.
The workshop only cost $4.00 per child and it was such a great opportunity for her to see a master sweet maker first hand and then have a go at making a lollipop herself.
She has now, not surprisingly, decided on a new career: To work in a lollyshop when she grows up.
