Jakes Candy is a cherished family-owned old style confectionery maker based in Bundaberg, Queensland, with roots going back to 1976. What began as a small homestyle candy business has grown into one of Queensland’s most loved traditional sweet makers, known for crafting over 150 classic recipes by hand.

For decades, Jakes Candy has been delighting locals and visitors alike with hand-made favourites such as rich fudges, buttery brittles, hard-boiled lollies, and Bundaberg’s famously delicious Rocky Road — made with quality ingredients like fresh marshmallows, peanuts and creamy chocolate.

More than just a confectionery, our factory outlet store on Commercial Street is a must-visit destination for families, tourists and sweet-tooth seekers exploring the Bundaberg region. Over the years we’ve expanded our range to include specialty gift baskets, custom creations for celebrations, and seasonal treats for Easter, Christmas and other festive occasions.


At Jakes Candy, tradition meets flavour — we continue to handcraft sweets the old-fashioned way, honouring over four decades of confectionery heritage right here in Bundaberg. Whether you’re reliving nostalgic tastes or discovering new favourites, every bite brings a little sweetness to life.
