Historic candy-making demonstrations
Arrange a hard-candy demonstration beside a candy-history collection
Schimpff’s Confectionery
Schimpff’s invites advance group bookings for a live hard-candy demonstration using its old candy-making equipment. The visit also includes its self-guided collection of confectionery machinery, packaging and memorabilia. This is an arranged process-observation outing, not a guest candy-making class or ordinary candy-shopping stop.
