Jelly fruit flavoured candy like fruit pastilles and jelly beans could possible be the simplest and most ordinary confectionery products. However with a bit of creative flair you can turn simple fruit flavoured candy into something spectacular. We thought we were able to do extra ordinary things with candy by having them custom made for our clients by colouring them, branding them and even packaging them in all types of cool boxes. Nothing though compares with these interesting lollies made by Hong Kong confectionery brand Aji Ichiban. The brand is actually in Japanese and it means, "the best and superior," which is both an odd way to call a candy company and an even stranger fact in that the brand has nothing to do with Japan at all! They release all sorts of limited run candy each season and in this particular period they have come up with what I would consider the most cutest pieces of candy ever made. The pictures below are images of Fruit Pastilles combined with tiny pieces of soft and hard cake icing to create comical cartoon characters.

These little critters only measure 3cm tall and what I find amazing is that they are mass produced on scale by hand to supply over 100 specialty outlet stores. By the way I can attest to you that these taste amazing, as I am chewing on one right now :).
