A few semi-related questions

A couple of questions came to my mind while working tonight.

1)  How would a steampunk confectioner dress?  I've seen the airship steampunk, the adventurer steampunk, the amazing weaponry steampunk, and the guy with goggles on a top hat and lots of pocket watches sewn to his clothing steampunk.  What kinds of things would a steampunk confectioner wear?

2)  What time period am I actually looking for?  I know I said "Victorian" candy, but what is "Victorian"?  Another Google search . . . the "Victorian era" was from 20 June 1837 until Queen Victoria's death on 22 January 1901.  Therefore, I need to look for candies created and/or eaten during the second part of the 19th century.  Then I need to figure out how to make them steamy.  

Looking for Mr. Victorian Goodbar (or Crunch)

Well, the first thing I needed to do in my search for Victorian candy was to find stuff on Victorian candy.  A Google search of "Victorian candy making" yielded some results.  There is Miss Mary's Gazette, which as two separate pages of Victorian recipe reprints totaling about 15 recipes.  It is enough, however, to start a database of what types of confections existed.  Squidoo has an old-fashioned candy page, including a couple of book titles, but the years listed are slightly beyond Victorian.  I also came across a Food Timeline.  It is too long to read now, so I will save it and glean what I can later.  A quick scan, though, hinted the Victorian era saw the invention of new sweets, including cream-centered French candies and milk chocolate.

Unfortunately, I am out of time.  Chow for now!
