The author used paper cups because it is difficult to wash candied sugar (be careful not to burn yourself).

Place the skewered fruit in a cup and cover the entire strawberry with the candy. After removing the excess candy, place it on a plate such as a cookie sheet lined bat to prevent the candy from sticking to it, and refrigerate or freezer it. If you have trouble getting the candy to stick to the skewer, you can drizzle the candy on the skewer. In this case, make sure that the candy covers the entire strawberry.
