Company Profile

Meet Ray Esmany, the creative mind behind the product design and ranges that power the baking industry.

From humble beginnings, experimenting in the chocolate decorations industry, learning techniques from “trial and error”, attending courses, I found ways to make chocolate decorations for a variety of businesses, corporate functions, lodges, restaurants, special events and launches.

We supplied hotels, restaurants, the corporate market, weddings, special occasions, and the like. Themed dessert creations have always been my passion, and I was fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity of designing the desserts of many Nederberg Wine Auctions, the desserts for the inauguration of Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki, Nelson Mandela’s 85th birthday bash at the Sandton Convention Centre, the opening of the ICC in Durban, the opening of The Palace at Sun City. I was also privileged to be chosen as part of the South African team on two occasions to represent South Africa at the Bocuse de Ore in Lyon, France.

Now, over 30 years later the change in direction sees Crystal Candy creating silicone moulds with sights set on becoming industry leaders.

To design inspiring, authentic, high quality cake decorating embellishments that, in turn, inspires cake bakers to create fantastic works of art for their customers, always ahead of the curve, leading the way with design an product concepts.

Your Peace of Mind

All the designs from Crystal Candy are done inhouse, are authentic and original. They are not copies of other cake decorations. When you purchase a Crystal Candy design, rest assured that it is the real deal and only available from Crystal Candy.

If it says "Made by Crystal Candy" on it, then you have the original - meaning that the design, quality, and guarantee is legitimate and real.

We are committed to the impeccable craftsmanship and use the highest quality 100% food grade silicones and materials possible. It is reflected in all we do.
