Was invited to a girls' night out at Candyland Craft to decorate cupcakes, sip on wine, munch on snacks, and enjoy some good laughs! Walked into the store and it looked like a crafter bakers' dream! While walking towards the back for the class, I peeped so many unique baking supplies! This review is only based on the cupcake decorating class. Once we arrived, the supplies for the class were already provided at the seat. Six plain cupcakes was in a container, along with disposable icing bags, tips, food coloring, and bowl(s) of white buttercream icings. The instructor was nice and showed the class how to decorate the cupcakes into three different styled flowers; which was lots of fun! While decorating the cupcakes, we sipped wine, ate snacks, and enjoyed each other's company. Which we brought our own wine and snacks. One of the ladies from our group was able to connect to Candyland Crafts' Bluetooth to play music! It was an enjoyable time! =) read more

Candyland Crafts not only has a great selection, but their staff is FANTASTIC!!! Beyond knowledgeable and friendly. They go out of their way to ensure you are taken care of. I had the pleasure to meet the owner my last two visits and he was awesome too. Their is such pride of ownership at Candyland. Truly love going. Even tho it's far for me!!! Worth the trip every single time!!!!! read more

Great Experience.... I have used you for many years and it has always been a very good experience for me. All went well and you have very reputable products. The service was great even when I had to call. My molds always arrived timely and in perfect order. This is why I keep coming back and I get a little upset when occasionally you may not have a mold that I need.... Great job and experience.... read more

I attended the Buttercream Flowers class and it was an excellent experience. I was part of a small class (3). Our instructor was very knowledgeful of the various techniques for making different flowers and gave us a lot of individual attention and guidance. We learned how to make 5 different flowers to decorate our cupcakes which we were then able to take home. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, an excellent experience. Would highly recommend it! Rhina A. Edison, NJ read more

I love this store! I come here for so many baking supplies and the cookie cutters are affordable! I also love how they have so many different colors of Merckens chocolate for molds/cake pops/pretzels. The best part about the store is how helpful the staff is. I went in today and showed an employee the type of royal icing I'm trying to achieve and she gave me perfect advice. She also helped me find other types of icing in the store that could help me achieve my end result. I go out of my way to go to this store and I will continue to do so since they are so helpful and friendly read more

Unfortunately, I feel like this place has lost its touch and old-time, welcoming feel. I recently ordered over the phone and whomever packed up my order gave me the wrong item. When I called (I had to call 3x because no one was answering) the girl didn't even apologize. When my sister went to pick up my order, she said there was this woman up front trying to push her to buy some soaps and was annoying. It ruined the experience for her. My family has been coming here for the last 25 years. I live 2 hours away and still went there to get my chocolate (nostalgic & sentimental reasons). However, by the negative experiences and lack of customer service feels, I will buy my chocolate near me now. I wish this place kept to its old-time, cozy feel. The old owners did a wonderful job!!! read more

Order Fondant icing online in Ivory. 11 days after ordering, I received the wrong product - they shipped white.I emailed the company, followed up by a call. Offered to send the correct one after being informed it was for a wedding. Instead of shipping it expedited, they took their time. As of now, I still do not have the product. The wedding was last weekend. They completely screwed me over. NEVER AGAIN WOULD I ORDER ANYTHING read more

Candyland Crafts - August 2, 2017 - and I still do not have what I ordered. - Candy Stores Near Me - Raritan, New Jersey

This review is solely on their online mail-order business. I work hellish hours so a lot of my shopping research is done online. I had it in my (crazy) mind to make the favors for my son's first birthday party and I found some lollipops candy sticks on Pinterest that looked amazing. But since they were uber expensive, I decided to make my own. First came the hard part--figuring out how to make the hard candy. I found Candyland Crafts via a Google search and I chose them because they had Western Themed hard candy molds. I surfed their website some more and found some simple directions on how to make the lollipops. I also liked that they had so many candy flavorings to choose from and the prices on everything was so reasonable. I ordered everything I needed--candy thermometer, candy molds, lolly sticks and flavorings. It's 1am and I just finished making the lollipops. The kitchen smells wonderful from the watermelon flavoring and the lollipops look pretty darn good. I've never reviewed a business that I've used for online/mail-order, but I really felt I needed to give CC a shout-out. The items I purchased came on time, were well-packaged (super packaged to prevent breakage) and I am just so impressed by the variety of candy making supplies CC has available for online purchasing. The website isn't super slick, but I may get some more crazy candy making ideas in the future and I know that I'll CC will be a go-to site. read more

My daughter just had her 10th birthday party at Candyland Crafts and she loved it! They made chocolates, decorated cupcakes and every kid decorated the birthday cake, which made it extra special. The staff was extremely helpful in leading demonstrations and they made the party a lot of fun. I would strongly recommend having your child's birthday party here! read more

Great staff so helpful anytime I need to pick something up. Great local business. They have all your baking and decorating needs

This place is a baker's dream!! It is designed for cake making more than anything else but even for a cookie maker like myself, I don't know where I'd be without this store. They have sprinkles, cookie cutters, packaging, chocolates, cake pans and molds for every holiday! They even have an entire room of molds! Everyone is always helpful. The store is quite large and is usually busy. It has normal small-town hours (closed on Sundays) so make to check that first. They also have a small section of soap-making products. There are kits and individual ingredients, like essential oils. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're into baking at all or especially if you're baking for an occasion and need specific decorations/supplies. read more

Amazing! Every baking supply imaginable And their mold room is overwhelming..about a million molds for chocolate stacked to the ceiling! If I wasn't 40 mins away I'd be going everyday read more

Awesome place to get hard to find edible items for cakes,cupcakes and candy making . I make panoramic sugar eggs and go there for a lot of my supplies. They also offer lots of classes to learn how to make cakes and all kinds of other Desserts, the owner Hires incredible artists, and some professional chefs to teach some of these classes. Also the man that owns it is pretty nice and I believe it was originally his fathers business. You can tell that the owner really cares about his business. That means something to me . read more

Amazing. I can't lie, I was a bit overwhelmed- especially in their molds room! They really do have every baking supply imaginable. Parking wasn't too bad, we got street parking, and it was free after 5pm. It wasn't too busy when I first walked in (me and maybe 2 other people) but as time went on more and more people were coming in. Very friendly staff, that were willing to answer any questions I might have had. Will definitely be going back. read more

I enjoyed the class. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. I do wish I was able to see the instructor better. The class was pretty full so I understand with the time restraint that he wasn't able to go around to each participant. read more

My hero's! Candyland Crafts was able to help me find the perfect pillars for my dream wedding cake. My pillars are vintage, Wilton no longer manufactures them. I've been scouring the internet for weeks, not only did Candyland have my rare request, I received a personal phone call regarding my online purchase. Fantastic service. THANK YOU CANDYLAND CRAFTS read more

I have taken several classes and found the store, staff and instructors to be wonderful! The original owners have retired and the new owner is very friendly & helpful. He very much wants customers to feel welcome and know that the store is their "go-to" place for information, supplies and just to gather with others who enjoy cake decorating & candy making. I will recommend Candyland Crafts as a great place for their baking/candy making needs. read more

One of the best deals for candy. The last batch though seemed old, chocolate was not as fresh as it has been in the past. They are fast on delivery and always update me on when my package has arrived. Hard sometimes to order different candy because they are always limited in my area for some reason, so it feels that I order the same thing every time, would love more choices of candy. All in all I am just okay with Candyland, still keeping my membership. read more

I just stopped in to ask a question about edible luster and this awful old woman not only didn't answer my question but literally shoo'ed me out of the store. Utter trash of a business if this is who you hire to represent you. I see other reviewers also referencing this woman. I don't even ever review on Yelp, but I had to make an exception for how I was treated. read more

Candyland crafts is my go to online candy supplies craft store. They generally have all the candy molds that I need and many unique ones that I am unable to find anywhere else. I highly recommend them to anyone who loves to make candy. They also offer cake packaging as well. read more

I do not bake things requiring decorations, but I am a passionate fan of Spritz (cookie press) cookies at Christmas, and they need to be decorated wildly. Your company has more types of decoration that I even imagined. My particular favorites are the pale glittery flakes (cannot remember the name atm and they are packed away) which give a slight color and glitter to the cookies. Thanks SO much for being there every time I need you ! ! ! read more

Candyland Crafts has one of the "best" choices when it comes to candy molds. I don't use these for candy but for clay and plaster crafts and I've been very happy with the vast selection they have. The prices are pretty good compared to many other stores online and I've always received my shipment quickly. read more

This place never disappoints. Always have exactly what I need. Service is excellent. The staff is always very helpful.

Every baking, decorating, candy-making supply imaginable. I could go absolutely broke in this store.

Love this place, everything you ever need for your baking needs and the staff is so helpful!!!

I just have to say A+ to the owners and workers at Candyland Crafts in Somerville, NJ. The owner there, Barry, truly puts his heart into his work. Just today, I was going in for a soap making class with my dtr, au pair and another friend's daughter -- they cancelled the class and for some reason lost my name from the list so I never got a phone call. Obviously disappointing, but to make up for it, Barry gave each of the girls a kit so they could make soap at home, and then rescheduled our class as a private one! The "soap lady" there even called us personally to apologize. Their store is so beautiful and you can tell they just all deeply care about what they do and the connections they make. Here's to local small businesses! I definitely will book a birthday party there soon - it's the perfect place! And they have lots of adorable classes for the family too. Hope they stay around for a long, long while read more

This store has everything you need for baking or candy making. The staff is so very friendly and extremely helpful. It is a great shopping experience. read more

Good service and items ship in a timely manner. They have boxes perfect for dippped strawberries with 1 dozen cavities. The boxes are a little pricey but classy, not found with other retailers; I've researched and visited many stores. I don't like the fact that the shipping price may change after you have already placed the order but aside from that, I would recommend them. read more

As a professional in the industry, I used to love perusing this shop over the big box alternative. I used to receive stellar service and advice from the younger girl at the register. Hell, she's even helped my boyfriend while I was tied up baking. Unfortunately, today I received horrendous service from an older lady. She seemed like my existence in the store alone was a nuisance, let alone my questions. I will not be patronizing this store in the future. read more

they have parking on the side of the street and its a really cute little town. I went there for specific items that I would've otherwise ordered from amazon but because I was pressed for time, I tried walmart and the didnt have what I needed and a female was kind enough to recommend me to this place! they literally have everything under the sun here for anyone thats looking for baking ware. their cute little trinkets are wide in range and reasonable in price. or at least for me I find what i like and what works for me. the staff is super helpful. they know exactly where everything is as long as you are specific with what you're looking for. great place highly recommend as they have a wide variety of bakeware and birthday cake trinkets that superstores like walmart, target and others might not carry. and the staff is always there to help in case you have any questions. the prices are reasonable but depends on what you're getting. located in a place with parking on the side of the street read more

Recently attended a class on how to make buttercream flowers, taught by Daniel Colonel, a CIA/Hyde Park graduate. I've never done anything like that before and the class was way more fun than I had expected. I was told it was more of an advanced class, but Daniel made it fun and (relatively) easy. I will definitely be signing up for more classes -- the royal icing cookie one for sure and maybe even "basics of piping." Each person took home 6 decorated cupcakes and they were prettier than I thought. read more

you have everything I am looking all the time thank you so much joannie from NYC SPANISH HARLEM
