The Candy Lab, located in Ardmore, PA and Haddonfield, NJ,  is a craft workshop where you can make edible art.   At The Candy Lab, we bring the art of candy crafting to life! We believe in the power of imagination and creativity, and what better way to explore these concepts than by playing with your food!

Our classes, camps and parties on candy crafting for kids are designed to engage and entertain children (and kids at heart) while they learn the fascinating process of making their own sweet creations. Led by our expert candy artists, we inspire kids to think outside the box and bring their imaginings to life using delicious candies, fruits and vegetables.

The Candy Lab provides a safe and supportive environment where kids can experiment with different techniques and tools under the guidance of experienced candy artists. From crafting lollipops in a variety of shapes to designing colorful candy bracelets, the possibilities are endless. Not only do these classes foster creativity, but they also boost fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and critical thinking abilities.

As a family-owned business, we understand the importance of creating lasting memories with our loved ones. That’s why we offer a range of candy crafting workshops suitable for all ages. Whether it’s a birthday party, scout troop activity, or a fun weekend outing, The Candy Lab provides an interactive and delightful experience for everyone.

So, go ahead and play with your food! Join us at The Candy lab and let your imagination soar as you create your own sugary masterpieces.
