Thank you all for your lovely comments
Yes, Lydia, I did overexpose on purpose, I thought it fitted the sweet look and took emphasis away from the girl.
Because that was my main concern: that voters would stick strictly to the word "candy" and not accept a model in the shot.

However - I'm happy with this result.
And my "Zuckerschnecke" likes it too

I like this. Could be a bit overexposed IMO. Good luck.
