Hio O T S The Retail Confectioners Association of Philadelphia (RCAP), a non-profit Trade Association, was founded in 1918 for the purpose of sharing information and knowledge about candy making and retailing among Philadelphia area confectioners. Over the years, the local focus has expanded and the RCAP currently has over 300 active and associate members throughout the United States and Canada. Today these candy makers and suppliers still share information to maintain a very high quality chocolate and hard candy. The Association holds educational meetings, plant tours, a spring getaway tour and two national candy, gift & gourmet trade shows each year.

The History of the Philadelphia National Candy, Gift & Gourmet Show

Founded in 1949 by a few local suppliers displaying at Christmas and Easter RCAP meetings, it was an instant success. Housed in Philadelphia’s Broadwood Hotel then the Ben Franklin Hotel, the show grew steadily. In 1961 it was moved to the Exhibit Hall of the Sheraton at what is now Philadelphia Suburban Station. Exhibitors numbered 35, some with multiple booths. In 1974, the show celebrated 25 years with the 20 “originals” still in the buyers guide. By the mid-eighties, relocation was critical to accommodate continued expansion and in 1984, the show moved to the Valley Forge Convention Center. By then, 85 exhibitors were showing, many with expanded multi-booth displays. Attendance soared into the thousands and by 1989 floor space had doubled again. In 2006, the show moved to The Atlantic City Convention Center in order to accommodate all exhibitors on one show floor and provide a destination for attendees to incorporate business, networking opportunities and fun into their visit. In January 2016, the show moved back to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, co- locating with the Philadelphia Gift Show. In the next few years, visit the show in Cherry Hill, NJ, Lancaster, PA and back in Atlantic City as we accommodate all our many wonderful attendees and exhibitors.

ONGOING LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS ON SUNDAY OF LARGE-SCALE CHOCOLATE PAINTINGS BY KIRSTEN PANKOWSKI OF KELLY’S KANDY Kirsten Pankowski is a Philadelphia native who has been working at Kelly’s Kandy for 6 years. She graduated from the Arcadia University Fine Arts Department in 2011 with a BFA in Painting. After working with standard painting mediums, Kirsten experimented with chocolate. When asked about the challenges of painting with chocolate Kirsten says, “Painting with chocolate is a vastly different process when compared to oil or acrylic paints. Chocolate must be tempered and maintain a specific consistency to be workable. Additionally, it dries significantly faster. You must work quickly which is why it is the most demanding waysto paint.” Since Painting with chocolate, Kirsten has completed numerous works for the RCAP, Candy, Gift & Gourmet Shows and “Hot Chocolate” events raising money for ALS.
