How do they make the outer coatng of a gum ball?

The outer coating of a gumball is typically made from a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and food coloring. This mixture is heated and then applied in layers to a core, usually made of a flavored gum base, through a process called panning. The gumball is continuously rotated in a large drum, allowing the coating to dry and harden as it builds up to the desired thickness. Afterward, it is polished to achieve a shiny finish.
