Look! Candy-Making Kitchen at PapaBubble

We love the look of Lab Glass at Home. Last week we stumbled across this amazing artisan candy shop in NoLITA — PapaBubble — that uses lab glass in their open and minimalistic candy-making kitchen...

 
 

And while the candies were colorful and fascinating to look at (they even sell over-sized sculptural lumps of art candy), we wanted the kitchen with all the materials and ingredients organized and accessible!

My nose introduced me to the PapaBubble store in Barcelona. One afternoon, I found myself wandering down narrow alleyways trying to track the source of this mouth-watering smell. When I walked into the store, I found two guys working with molten candy: one guy was rolling and cutting pieces on a slab, the other repeatedly throwing and stretching this bright, sugary, mass around a hook as if he were working pizza dough (with rather innovative moves) or engaging in a one-man taffy-pull. A free sample -- and all the pretty colors! -- inspired me to make a purchase.

Soooo yummy! make sure to get there for a hot piece of their gooey madness as that's the proper way to sample this stuff. also try the pebbles, their a bit softer and delish!
