Welcome to the sweetest job ever!
The Feathersweet family has been making magical sweets for centuries. So we know quite a bit about it.
Creating Magical, or even muggle candy. Is fun and rewarding. But also hard work as some treats only work at the whims of the weather. At least until you learn all the tricks!
A lot of what you will learn and do is just the same as muggles would do. BUT with magic we can do it faster and safer. No worries of burns from molten hot sugar or chocolate! Because we can float the items about instead of touching it. What takes a muggle hours to achieve we can manage with a few transfigurations to get it to be just the right shape and hardness.
AND we can add charms to it! Want a sweet that changes flavors? We can do that. Want one that temporarily changes your hair color? Makes you float? Makes you sound like an animal? We can do that and so much more!
You’ll need to be good with potions, Charms and Transfigurations. Why potions? Well sometimes we add one to a sweet, but also learning to make potions with its recipes is much like learning to make a sweet!
If you go to Honeydukes for your Summer work experience, not only will you start to learn how to make sweets and run a shop. But you will also be one of the first to get to try new sweets. Or even help make them yourself! And you will get free sweets as you work as well!
Be ready to work and have fun!
