FAQ
Q. How does Candy Art Hawaii entertain my guests?
Candy Art Hawaii provides another source of entertainment for children, similar to balloon twisting, face painting, airbrush tattoos, etc. Your guests will line up and when it is their turn, request what kind of candy animal they want such as rabbits, dolphins, penguins, etc. The candy is made before their eyes, sculpting a plain piece of candy into an intricate and delicious design by hand. The candy is hung upside down to cool and harden. After 3 minutes, we put the amezaiku lollipop in a plastic bag to give to the eagerly awaiting child (or ADULT). Typically, a crowd will gather around to watch us make the amezaiku lollipop, staring in amazement as a plain piece of candy is colored, sculpted, cut, pinched, pulled, and twisted into its detailed shape.
Q. How long does it take to make one lollipop?
It takes about 3 minutes per lollipop.
Q. What is the candy made of?
Sugar, both in solid and liquid forms. We use a special sugar imported direct from Japan, so the taste is authentic as if you were in Japan. Food coloring is used to decorate our creations.
Q. How long does the candy last?
With Hawaii's hot and humid weather, the candy may melt and become disfigured if left in a hot environment. If you would like to preserve the candy, we suggest that you store the candy in a cool place, such as a refrigerator. For children, we doubt that the candy will last 30 minutes before ending up in their tummy.
Q. Is candy art primarily for children only?
NO! Adults will want the candy. In fact, there are often MORE ADULTS in line than children! Children want to eat the candy, adults appreciate the skill of the amezaiku artist. We are probably the only vendor that adults will line up for. Even if adults cannot get one, they will still hang around us observing us scuplt the candy. Therefore, whether all or just a few adults actually receive an amezaiku lollipop, we still provide entertainment for ALL the guests who come to observe our amezaiku art.
Q. How do I make reservations?
Please send an email with your name and contact information. In addition, please let us know the date, time, and location of the event, and which package you are interested in. Also, a rough estimate of children and total number of guests attending the party will be helpful.
Q. How far in advance should I make reservations?
We generally accept reservations about 9 to 12 months in advance. FWIW, most tend to reserve us about 1 to 3 months in advance, so the sooner, the better. The next best time to inquire is a week or two before your event as we sometimes have cancellations that leave us with new openings as the date approaches.
Q. Are there other amezaiku artists that we can recommend if we are booked?
Unfortunately, we do not know of other amezaiku artists in Hawaii. As a side note, to our knowledge, there are only 2 other amezaiku artist in America. In Japan, we have been told that there are less than 50 active professional amezaiku artists.
Q. What is included in your services?
All supplies, such as freshly made candy, lollipop sticks, bags, etc, are included in our rate. We will arrive with enough time to setup our equipment (which only takes about 5 to 10 minutes) so that we can start promptly at our service start time. Most of our preparation occurs prior to arriving at your event, which includes about 2 to 3 hours of cooking the homemade candy and preparing it to the right consistency.
Q. What payment methods do you accept?
A 2.9% + $0.30 credit card fee will be added to payments by credit cards. As a result, cash or check payments are recommended.
