Today is Mother Weaver’s birthday. You met her before, when I posted her recipe for hot cocoa. It’s the best! Anyway, my dear mother turns another year older today, so please join me in a round of “Happy Birthday” and a piece of candy cake. Happy birthday, Mom, from one of your two favorite sons!
These lollipops were made by the Melville Candy Company and are beautiful – true works of art for both the eyes and the taste buds. I wrote before about the process of shooting them in the studio. It was a good challenge.

Do you want your candy photos featured here? Submit them to the Candy Dish Blog Flickr group. We want to see your candy photos and so does the rest of the world!

Dear Carl,
Thank you for the work of art. You are a very fine son.
Love, Mom
