First I made a few candy crayons and measured to make sure I could print a label that would fit. Next I designed the labels. (I will try to upload that but I am not sure where toput it??). Since I cant seem to post it, I just added a 1.5"x 2.5" (hxw) rectangle to my word document, changed the color to what I wanted, Added a black oval, two vertical black lines and then text to the oval. Next I put another 1" rectangle above the 1st rectangle and one below it to create the overlap on the back of the candies.
Then I just personalized each as needed and printed them. I let my sugar sheets dry about 30 minutes then bag them or cut them if needed right away.
Next I molded the crayons in the colors I wanted. After they were ready (I trimmed off the little lollypop stick end that formed because this is a lollypop mold.), I cut out my labels and placed them face down on papertowels. Then I misted them with water (only 1 squirt each), waited 2 minutes and applied piping gel. Finally I placed the labels on corresponding crayon colors and wrapped them completely around so the paper stuck to itself in the back like a candy bar wrapper. All done.
These were a little too large for the cupcakes but only by like 1/2" The cupcake carrier I had didn't want to close well unless I repositioned the crayons but it worked. I hope it helps and Good luck!
They turned out awesome!
Thanks! The client LOVED them! And they were fairly easy to make despite my worry that the sugar paper wouldn't stick to the melts. :)
Please detail how you accomplished this! GREAT work.
Thaks you! Here's what I used:
Sugar Sheets
Ediblie Ink printer
Candy melts in desired colors
Piping Gel
Misting bottle of choice
Crayon label template (I will upload it as soon as I can figure out how to share it)
Crayon Candy mold
