papabubble

Found this cute, charming, welcoming candyshop called papabubble on the brink of Chinatown and Little Italy where sugar, water and glucose come together to form the most amazing little candy pieces of art. Based in Barcelona, Spain and spreading its sugary wings to NYC, papabubble whips up mounds of colorful AND flavorful treats daily. This artisinal shop creates candy of all colors of the rainbow, then twists and shapes them together to create patterns and motifs {fruits, words, bicycles, hearts, you name it...}, and then stretches it into a 1/2 inch-ish diameter rod, and then snip snip snips them into bite-size candies! Even the packaging is so perfect...what a great little gift. My favorite was an assorted mix of candies with the names of all 5 boroughs of NYC...oh my, papabubble, you have a new #1 fan.
