It doesn’t have to be a birthday or holiday to indulge in candy, baked goods, or even a soft drink. Not that any of us would go overboard, mind you. Kidding aside, these tasty concoctions are often associated with good times. They bring back childhood memories and moments shared with loved ones. And the experience of making them can also spark those warm fuzzy feelings. It’s no secret that many web designers have a sweet tooth. Some have even gone so far as to use their skills to create virtual shrines to their favorites. The recipes differ, but they all have two ingredients in common: CSS and JavaScript. To prove our point, here are eight mouth-watering snippets to sweeten your screen. ## Sugar, Sugar with Three.js & GSAP Designed by Steve Gardner Who’s up for a pile of goodies? This clever animation relies on Three.js and GSAP to spell out the word “SUGAR.” It’s an attention-getter for sure. Plus, it demonstrates how one can build some complex presentations using these libraries.

This pure CSS snippet creates a beautiful blue and white candy swirl. It’s both fun and mesmerizing.

Here we have a slider that is as tempting as it is slick. The animation brings a feeling of interactivity, while the illustrations are simply beautiful. And to think that all of this was accomplished using only CSS? Amazing.

But our love of code can be celebrated year-round! This fun animation combines both passions with the help of CSS and GSAP.

Thankfully it’s all guilt-free when displayed on your screen. This one is a great mix of SVG and JavaScript that results in a delectable presentation.

If you don’t have either of those things, this snippet may be the next best thing. Random bubbles against an orange background bring some sweet citrus taste to mind. And it would make a terrific background for a website hero area.

Then maybe you should take a look around to find the most attractive piece. That’s exactly what this 3D model does, as you can drag it (or use the keyboard) to get a 360-degree view. The artwork was created using CSS, while a tiny bit of JavaScript adds flavor. See the Pen [CSS 3D Cake 🍰](https://codepen.io/ShadowShahriar/pen/ZEJerdX) by S.

And what could be more fun than crafting something sweet? The snippets above are prime examples of how innovative web designers can be when given the freedom to experiment.
