# Regal 3D Lollipops These Chocolate Custom Lollipops Recreate 3D Versions of Queen Elizabeth II By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-09-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-lollipops References: [candymechanics](http://www.candymechanics.com/heads-on-sticks) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1503878450/the-queen-of-all-lollipops) With Queen Elizabeth celebrating her stint as the longest reigning British monarch, '[Candy Mechanics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zed-candy)' launched a line of custom lollipops with the respected royal as the face of the campaign -- literally. With Her Majesty's chocolate face atop their candy sticks, 'Head on Sticks' has begun marketing its 3D-printed confectionery treats. In addition to eating the head of Queen Elizabeth, people can have fun getting their very own portraits designed in chocolate as well. After taking a 3D scan of a person's head, a 3D-printed mold is made in order to recreate them in chocolate form. In British fashion, the Queen's custom lollipops come in [chocolate biscuit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outrageously-chocolatey-custard-cream-biscuity-egg) and strawberry cream, while the personalized heads come in a range of flavors including banana and salted peanut. Combining confection with customization and 3D-printing technology, Candy Mechanics has created an entertaining and personalized eating experience that involves the consumer from beginning to end. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Customized Confectionery:** The trend of creating personalized edible treats, such as 3D-printed chocolate lollipops, presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the confectionery industry. - **3D Scanning Technology:** The use of 3D scanning technology to create custom molds for chocolate replicas opens up possibilities for personalized products in various industries, including confectionery and beyond. - **Interactive Eating Experiences:** The combination of confectionery, customization, and 3D printing technology in the form of personalized lollipops offers a unique and interactive eating experience, paving the way for disruptive innovation in the food industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Confectionery:** The confectionery industry can explore the disruptive innovation opportunities presented by personalized and 3D-printed chocolate treats, offering consumers unique and personalized products. - **Technology:** The technology industry can benefit from the use of 3D scanning technology for creating custom molds, expanding its applications beyond traditional manufacturing and into personalized products like chocolate replicas. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can embrace interactive eating experiences, such as personalized lollipops, to engage consumers and offer them a unique and memorable dining experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Valentine's Day Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-bonbons.md) - [Laser-Engraved Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-engraved-chocolate-bars.md) - [Limited-Edition Coronation Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coronation-doughnuts.md) - [Custom Chocolate Bar Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitkat-made-4-u-creator-studio.md) - [Gel-Infused Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chupa-chups-frooze-pop.md) - [Spiced 3D-Printed Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-latte-chocolates.md) - [Luxe King-Honoring Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coronation-cake.md) - [Filled-Center Cheese Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-lollipop.md) - [Queen-Celebrating Snack Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walkers-sensations-flavors.md)
