Peppermint Candy Buttons
"Hello, and welcome to our cheery, creative corner in the land of Etsy!
Our philosophy, here at Andie's is simple...
...to give Treats unto others as we would want them to give Treats unto us.
It's the Golden Rule, Good Quality, and Excellent Service mixed in with a delightful world of unexpected sweets...the things we are dedicated to never going out of style.
At Andie's, we take the greatest care in producing superb, hand crafted, decorative candy and cake embellishments, with individual customer care. Our sweets are different -they're hand designed, hand crafted, small batch, hand poured, and artistically handled. Our goal is not just a pretty edible, not just a palatable one either, but one that elicits a response, and is pleasurable to all the senses. So we like to take the time to achieve this goal. An every-day and ordinary sweet is not our objective.
All products are made-to-order & shipped directly from our studio in California, Los Angeles area. Our clients consist mostly of brides, cake decorators, professional bakers, caterers, home bakers, and sweet tooth's of all types. Look for more choices in the near future - we are brimming with ideas. And please feel free to contact us regarding a custom order - your ideas are usually our favorites!
Our sugar embellishments are gluten free, and are free of gelatin and partially hydrogenated oils. We use organic flavorings, non g.m.o., fair trade sugars and starches, fair trade organic chocolate, and source our ingredients (as much as possible) locally -all of which is important to us. Currently, all of our items are vegan friendly except for our Pacific Thorny Oysters & Starfish, which contain a small amount of dairy. We are also endeavoring, wherever possible to use vegetable and fruit concentrate, and plant extracts like annatto and turmeric for coloring. And we'd be happy to discuss coloring options (based on ingredients) regarding any item in our shop. Please consult us for specifics regarding any treat in our shop.
Our made to order sugar embellishments and decorative candy can take anywhere from one to four weeks to create before ready to ship (depending on the item). Lead times are mostly dependent on current volume. Scheduling is commenced when payment is received. For large, plan-ahead events, we like to suggest placing your order no later than 2 months prior for scheduling purposes. But always ask for availability - we are determined to give it our best try, and are often able to accommodate last minute orders."

Andie's Specialty Sweets

Edible Sugar Fall Leaves 50
"Andie's Specialty Sweets takes the greatest care in producing superb, handmade, sugar decorations, sculpted marzipan, & decorated cookies. All products are made-to-order & shipped directly from our studio in California. Our clients consist of brides, cake decoraters, caterers & home bakers. Look for more choices in the near future. We plan to introduce a new item each season. Please feel free to contact us regarding a custom order! Our made from scratch sugar embellishments can take up to two weeks to dry, and need to be made well in advance of the cake decorating event. We also like to suggest placing your order no later than 3 months before your event so we can give you utmost priority.All of our cake decorations are made to order. We want your special event to be fresh in every way right down to every detail. Our decorations can be temporarily stored in airtight containers, in a cool, dark place before used/consumed. We suggest having them delivered 6 weeks prior to your event to prevent any staleness. They will keep indefinitely (if storing a wedding cake topper) away from heat or moisture, which can soften them. Heat, humidity and refrigeration can all soften sugar decorations, even after they've set. Placing flowers on buttercream frosting, which contains fat, can also soften them.All of our sugar flowers are coated with FDA approved edible paints, and our decorations are "glued" together with safe reconstituted pasturized egg whites and or royal icing. We will always let you know if any part or the whole of any decoration should not be consumed.Also, our other JOY is designing your dream wedding or special event cake. All our cakes are given the same attentiveness as our cake embellishments and we delight in the process. And all of our cakes our made with the utmost superb quality ingredients: fresh creamery butter, pesticide and herbacide free citrus and fruit from local organic farmers, organic and RBST free dairy, and American artisan chocolate."
