This is a story about “The Happiest Little Candy Corn.” You see like all kids, candy corn kids can be different. There was one little candy corn who was always happy no matter what happened. He look at life with a really good attitude. If he was driving down the road and got a flat tire, he would smile and say, “That’s ok because I wanted to try my new jack!” If someone cut in front of him in a check out line he would say, “Go ahead. I am not in a hurry.”
No matter what happened, the happiest little candy corn always looked at life with a happy heart. Now his wife on the other hand would get stressed if they were on their way to dinner and half way there she couldn’t remember if she turned off the coffee pot. But, the happiest little candy candy corn would just smile and say, “Let’s get our order to go and we can have a picnic at home.”
Supplies:
Royal Icing Transfer Eyes (Made a couple of days before and the right size for your candy corn)
Black Outline Icing (#1 tip)
Yellow, White and Orange 15 Second Icing
First, outline the top with white and flood immediately.
Then, outline the bottom with yellow and flood immediately. Let this dry overnight to prevent bleeding when you add the orange.
Next, flood the center section orange.
While the orange is wet, add the Royal Icing Transfer Eyes and let them dry for about 30 minutes.
Then, add the arms, mouths and eyebrows.
The past couple of days I have been the grumpy little candy corn and the complains-a-lot candy corn. I don’t know why but, I’ve been in a ”the glass is half empty and DIRTY” kinda mood. As I watched my husband walk around with the happy little candy corn attitude it made me realize I needed to get over it! Whatever “it” was is not going to suck the fun out of my day. I don’t want to stress over the little things that I can’t control. I want to look at life and enjoy every situation even if it isn’t perfect.
These little candy corns are a great reminder for me not to be grumpy and complain about the things that don’t matter. Hope you have a happy day;)
Happy Creating,
These are so cute, Lisa! I am frequently the grumpy and whiny candy corn…and I need to get over it!

Hi, I’m wondering how you would feel about my pinning this cutie to my Pinterest board, Cookie Ideas? I don’t use pinterest much but I do like to use it for ideas I don’t want to forget, and this is definitely one of them! If you’d like a link to the board let me know, I didn’t want to post it and have you think I was spamming your blog.
Go for it Wylee! Pin away! I am honored!
Thank you!
“You’re squishing me!” = my fav.
Those little arms crack me up. If there was a Nerdy candy corn (with maybe eyeglasses) that would be me.
I should have added glasses just for you but, I totally dout you are a nerd! Anyone who makes cookies like you is “cool” in my book!
Oh, I really like these!! I love candy corn for their nostalgia, their sugary sweetness, and now their adorable candy corn story. Great post!
Thanks Michelle! Every Fall I want to buy candy corn and make some kind of nostalgic craft! LOL I think I like the cookies better because it comes more natural to me.
How cute are these!!! I totally need to put faces on my candy corns.
