How is Wedding Rock Made How is Personalised Rock Candy Made? Have you ever wondered how we get the letters into lettered rock, how the BLACKPOOL gets into Blackpool Rock or how we get the BRIGHTON into Brighton Rock? Well here's how. Personalised rock and Seaside rock is still made in the traditional way. The rock is hand made by a practised craftsman called a Sugar Boiler. You will see with the amount of "toffee" needed to form the rock that we cannot make the rock in single bars we have to make a minimum of 100 - 150 sticks dependant on the size of the rock bar. |
|
 | Sugar & Glucose We use a large copper pan to boil up the sugar & glucose in the traditional way.
This is heated to approx 300 degrees |
|
Cool and Divide When the sugar mixture reaches the required temperature the contents of the copper pan is tipped onto a cooling table.
The mixture is divided. |  |
|
 | Aerating the centre & flavouring Some of the mixture is taken to another machine to be aerated & flavoured.
For Wedding Rock the bride and groom choose what flavour the Personalised Rock will be. The entire batch of rock has to be the same flavour.
This is going to be the core of the rock. |
|
Colouring the Rock Candy The remainder of the toffee is mixed with colour. This will become the outer casing of the rock. When we make Personalised Rock you choose the colour or combination of colours that you'd like your rock. In this case tle Lettered Rock is going to be a colourful striped rock bar. When we make Wedding Rock bars we endeavour to match the casing to wedding colours however we give no guarantee's to colour match as we are working with food colours (not printing inks). |  |
|
 | Lettering the Rock Next the letters are formed. By layering strips of coloured & white toffee the letters are built. By varying the colour of the strips of toffee we can vary the colour of rock lettering. Sometimes people think that we can use computer fonts when making rock. This is impossible, as you can see the rock is hand made we cannot work with fonts the rock lettering is merely built from strips of toffee.
When we make Personalised Wedding Rock mostly the lettering in the rock is the name of the bride and groom, we can also put a heart in the centre of the rock or a wedding date. |

|
 | Lettering & Core Next the core of the rock and the rock lettering are put together. As well as making Wedding Rock we also make Personalised Rock, Seaside Rock and Promotional Rock. |
|
Rock outer cases The strips of toffee are put together in the correct order to make the casing of the rock. |  |
|
 | Batch Roller The huge lump of rock is put into a machine called a batch roller, this helps to keep it's shape.
See the huge lump of toffee. This is why we cannot make only one Personalised Rock. We have to make a whole batch. |
|
The Personalised Rock is pulled The rock is then pulled into long strings. A device not unike a pair of scissors is used to cut the rock into the length required. |  |
|
 | Wrapping the rock Finally the rock is wrapped and the Wedding Favours are ready for sending to the bride and groom for their big day.
If you want lettered rock you know where to come. |
