This large plate is 11 1/2 inches, imagine it covered in petite fours.
A friend of Lulu's vividly recalls our Alice In Wonderland party where she drank her tea (pink lemonade) and then ate the cup!Imagine an entire birthday party with edible dishes, spoons and cups!
This type of candy is called barley sugar or clear toy candy and it first appeared in the 18th century. Barley candy looks amazingly like glass, and the detail is stunning. Timberlake Candy Company has the largest variety of candy dishes, and they even have candy pedestals to add to candy plates.

I had no idea. How interesting.
