Frye's Practical Candy Maker Comprising Practical Receipts for the Manufacture of Fine "Hand-Made" Candies

"Frye's Practical Candy Maker" by George V. Frye is a handbook from the 1800s created for candy makers, filled with recipes for creating fancy, handmade sweets. It gives instructions on how to make beautiful candy, so shops can attract customers even without highly trained workers. The book wants to give simple, useful advice for candy cooks, rather than just talking about candy in a complicated way. It stresses the importance of good ingredients like sugar and explains main candy-making skills, like cooking to the correct temperature and using flavors and colors well. The author hopes this information helps small storeowners succeed by making better candy to sell.
