Papabubble, a store that started in Barcelona. This shop has now gone world wide; Places include Barcelona, New York City, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Taipei ...etc. Papabubble is famous for there creation in merging handmade candy with artistic design. There seasonal collection of candies differ for countries to countries and also personalize orders, however they offer the original selection all year round. Some original flavors in include banana, straberry, kiwi, grape, apple...etc. As for seasonal candies Papabubble would make little candies for Chinese New Years with Chinese letters printed on it or Valentines day candy with hearts printed in them. Papabubble makes little tiny candies thats the size of a eraser on the end of a pencil which is totally suitable for little kids and they also make huge lollipops that would take years to finish. There are other forms of the candy that are made but as far as I am concerned only certain forms of it are sold in Taipei. You may try ordering it online on the website but I would assume that it'll take some time to be sent over. In addition to the delicious treat there is also the bodacious wrapping. There are cute little jars or fancy little zip lock bags. When entering the shop, if you're lucky you may witness the making of the candies. Unfortunately I was unable to find the instructions on how they make the candy. However, I found some pictures of the candies in making.

WOW THIS IS SO AWESOME!! When I buy candy i usually look at how it is shaped. If i have a certain type of candy a lot of times I probably won't buy it because it doesn't look interesting. If i was there in that kind of shop i would probably wonder around for half an hour deciding which type of candy to buy because i simply can't decide. I also like to collect those candy bags so i guess this kind of candy shops would suit me very well.I think this shop probably earns a lot of money because kids are always curious, everything they see would be something new and interesting. This shop is probably packed with kids, I wouldn't be shocked to see adults being curious about this shop because the shape of the candies are very special.
It is a shame that you didn't find how they made the candies, it would be really cool if you did.
Thanks Elaine! My children love candy. I think it's great that there are still businesses that make candy the old-fashioned way.
