Candy Hearts Shortage? This Website Prints Your Custom Message in Edible Ink on Candy Hearts & Delivers to You by Valentines...
TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Though the Necco brand of iconic candy hearts featuring phrases like "Love You" and "Be Mine" won't be available this February due to their abrupt bankruptcy earlier this year, MyCustomCandy.com has developed their own candy hearts with a unique feature - you can design them online and the website will print your custom message on the candy hearts in edible ink and deliver to you before Valentine's Day.
"When we heard of the financial troubles Necco was having and their problems finding a suitable buyer, we knew we'd be at risk of not having candy hearts to sell this year," MyCustomCandy owner Sarah Hannington said.
MyCustomCandy offers custom printed candy hearts through its website starting at $48 for 350 pieces, and has gained popularity quickly, attracting clients like J.Crew and Google and celebrity clients like Kim Kardashian.
Hannington started MyCustomCandy in 2014:
"We had a small minimum order of 350 pieces for $48 and let anyone print anything on the hearts - even if it was totally inappropriate...", Hannington said. "One year an order came in with the wildest phrases we had ever seen and we went, 'Well okay, let's just print it'.' A few days later, one of our workers says, 'Kim Kardashian just snapchatted our candy,' sure enough it was her order."
Kardashian has become a regular customer and even used the MyCustomCandy hearts as a key component for her perfume launch in 2018.
With Necco shutting its doors and MyCustomCandy growing in popularity, Hannington knew it was time to invest in her own candy hearts formulation and custom molding to be able to guarantee she could offer candy hearts this year. After 42 rounds of formulations, Hannington finally developed the perfect candy heart that tasted amazing, could be printed on crisply using edible ink, and was the exact right shape and size.
"Turns out the new candy hearts are exponentially better than the ones we used to buy from Necco. They taste and look so much better. Our customers are thrilled with the upgrade," Hannington said.
So if you're missing candy hearts this year due to the shortage, for a cool $48 you can not only have your candy and eat it too, you can print whatever you want in edible ink and have them delivered to you by Valentine's Day by visiting MyCustomCandy.com
