The Zuckerlwerkstatt (Sugar Workshop)
The Zuckerlwerkstatt (Sugar Workshop) in Vienna city center is a go-to address for the sweet-toothed: Candies and treats are made by hand in the Zuckerlwerkstatt – to old recipes and traditions, some of which even date back to the 18th century. In the show manufactory on Führichgasse, visitors to the candy production area can look on and be inaugurated into the secrets of Austrian candy making.
A specialty of the sugar workshop are the Viennese silk candies. They are among the most traditional candies in Austria, and in their original version are filled with chocolate and shaped like miniature pillows. The candies get their particularly crunchy bite from the use of pulled sugar. This method involves working air into the sugar mass.
Especially creative as well as being a visual delight are the motif candies. Delicate motifs such as fruit, shapes or words are incorporated into the colorful candies. Anyone who'd like candies with personal motifs or texts can also order these in the Zuckerlwerkstatt.
