Steampunk Confectionery "Sweets!"

[The Hon. Helena Haphazard]

We;ve come this far without mentioning the humble dolly pips? I don't know anywhere that actually does these now - maybe Oswaldtwistle Sweet Mill up here in good old Lancashire ^^ Practically Steampunk just in the name there! Certainly the last time I had them was when I went there. - tiny sweets, either fruit flavoured or just plain mint, that were just the right size for giving to 'dollies' - and then scoffing yourself. Gorgeous!

Candied rose petals to top small cakes?
I've been exploring what kinds of flowers can be candied.

Fudge was a hot new invention at Vassar in 1888 (The recipe appears to have been developed in Baltimore in 1886 as an accident, which is why it was named with an old word for faking it.).  It then spread through other American women's colleges and became the fashionable confection of the late nineteenth century, inextricably connected with the New Woman.
