History of the Candy Cane
The origin of the candy cane goes back
over 350 years, when candy-makers both
professional and amateur were making
hard sugar sticks. The original candy was
straight and completely white in color.

The legend goes, a choirmaster in Cologne
Cathedral, in Germany in the late 17th
century bent the plain white candy into the
familiar “J” shape to symbolize a shepherd’s
staff.
These shepherd staff candies were given to
young children during the very long
traditional Christmas Eve Mass, to keep them
silent.

America’s introduction to the candy
canes is often traced to August
Imgard, a German immigrant who’s
credited with introducing the
Christmas tree to Ohio in 1847.
The National Confectioners
Association, stated Imgard
“decorated a small spruce with paper
ornaments and candy canes.”

About fifty years later the first red-
and-white striped candy canes
appeared. No one is specifically
credited for the invention of
stripes, but Christmas cards prior
to the year 1900 showed only all-
white candy canes . . .
Christmas cards after 1900 showed illustrations of
striped candy canes.

In 1919 in Albany, Georgia, Bob McCormack began making candy canes for local children.

Chicago confectioners the Bunte Brothers
filed the one of the earliest patents for candy
cane making machines in the early 1920s.

In the early days of candy making, the canes had to
be bent manually in order to create their 'J' shape,
many were broken during this process.
Bob McCormack's brother-in-law, Gregory Harding
Keller, who spent his summers back home working
in the candy factory. Invented a machine to bend
the candy.

Keller patented his invention, the Keller Machine which automated the process of twisting soft candy into spiral striping and then cutting them into precise lengths as candy canes.

Almost simultaneously, Bob and his eldest son, Bob Jr., developed a new packaging device that wrapped and sealed the candy canes in moisture-proof plastic wrappers

The traditional the flavor of a candy cane is peppermint, however, more recently candy canes are being made in a variety of other flavors and colors.
