Hello-

I found eGullet after searching for "how to pan candy" on the good ol' Google.  

I'm wondering if anyone here has made nonpareils like the picture I attached?  I can buy the base round spheres but they don't come in the colors I want so I thought "hmm, maybe I can make them myself?"  Or, does anyone know of classes offered that might help me out in this pursuit?  I've seen some candy classes but am not sure those are the correct thing for me to take.  

I found links on pinterest where people used food dye but I'm not sure how hardy the color on the surface would be.  Another thought I had was using an airbrush?  

Thank you in advance.
