Making a 3D candy text effect

This time we make a nice candy text effect that looks 3D. Let's celebrate the sweetness of life.

You can generate that one by opening this free food text effect generator and setting its parameters as below (I recommend you keep the default shadow configuration):
- 3D text style: 5th item;
- Text: Candy (type what you wish);
- Font size: Big;
- Margin: 4;
- Background color: FFA0D0;
- Get as a transparent PNG file: unchecked;
- Font name: Airstream.

The suggested configuration generates for you the image I show below (click the image to see it bigger):

Extra tips:
- this effect can be generated with an anti-aliased transparent background (select the "Get as a transparent PNG file" option);
- you can try many vibrant back colors, but avoid dark ones, because they make hard to see the shadows;
- of course, this effect shouldn't be used with very sharp or scary fonts. Prefer rounded soft font faces;
- it's possible to create many interesting realistic food texts by using these free online 3D text effects.

TUTORIAL: a chocolate bar text effect

It's about creating a text made of chocolate. In fact, imagine you have several chocolate bars and you take off proper squares, so you get the letters format.

It's easy to make if you open this free online text maker and set it like this:
- Text: chocolate (fill as you need);
- Font size: Big;
- Margin: 3;
- Background color: 804040;
- Font name: Triad XS.

Making this way, it's possible to get the effect shown below (click to enlarge):

Extra tips:
- you need a suitable font face to get the text made of squares, but you can create other chocolate text effects by using other fonts. In fact, its a 3D text effect, so it can generate many interesting results;
- the brown background is just to create a "chocolate world" mood, but other colors can be nice too;
- generate many creative text effects by trying the online text effects.
