No-one's posted one yet, so I thought I'd give it a go.
The Candy challenge isn't just a puzzle, it's 7 puzzles that can all be worked on at the same time. That can lead to a lot of confusion in trying to explain it.
So, I'm just taking one puzzle at first to outline the basic concept. I'm also assuming a starting position with 3 different shapes. I realise this not necessarily what reality has given you, but it makes it easier to explain.
The Candydevil puzzle.
The end product is being able to attract the violet Candydevil. For that, all the candies have to be a certain shape, a certain colour and in a certain order in your garden.
The challenge is to find out what shapes and colours they are. To do that you first need to try out the shapes.
Prepare yourself witha chart, there are a few that players have created for you to copy and paste, or make your own. This is the one I made (others may wish to post their links too)

STAGE 1: 1
With 3 ready to harvest candies in your garden, put out plates of wild berries.
If a red candydevil turns up, the shape on the left is the correct shape, but the wrong colour
If an orange candydevil turns up, the shape on the left is the correct shape, and the correct colour
If a yellow candydevil turns up, the shape in the middle is the correct shape, but the wrong colour
If a green candydevil turns up, the shape in the middle is the correct shape, and the correct colour
If a blue candydevil turns up, the shape on the right is the correct shape, but the wrong colour
If an indigo candydevil turns up, the shape on the right is the correct shape, and the correct colour
A - There is a possibility that your set up is attracting 6 different things (At this point, remember that wild berries also attract Cherrymoles), so give it a good try before moving on.
Note the results you have got so far for correct shapes and for the colours you have tried, note if any were correct (at this stage it's the shapes that are important)
B - then move the candies into a different order (I'd move the first to the end) and repeat above
C - then repeat that move from the same end and repeat again.
So your candies have been in the orders (eg) ABC, BCA, CAB.
