Sometimes lag makes it so that you can keep collecting past the cap for a while, happened to me a few times with tickets. But they don't always stay, sometimes the stuff you collected past the cap disapears next time you log in.

First day of this event I got 1152 candies.

There is another way to go past the cap though, at least thist worked for tickets, I hope that it will work for candies as well. The way it worked was that the day after a double ticket weekend, if you logged in before the promotion ended, and stayed logged in, once the daily reset time came you could keep collecting double amounts, and the cap was still double, until the next time you got to a loading screen.

Hopefully they haven't fixed this yet, because then we can get 1 more day of double candies, as long as you can get to the cap without collecting party hats or logging out.

Just log in before the timer in the market for double candies is up, and stay logged in. Once the reset time comes start collecting candy like normal, just don't visit anyone else's park and keep your device and the game on. If the reset time has come and you can't get candies, don't worry, just wait a minute or two and it should start working.

If you are having problems getting to the cap without collecting party hats from friends, try buying plant dragon eggs and sell them, like someone else here suggested, with just 5 seconds incubation time they are easy to grind, and you get 4 candies from each. To avoid spending too much time navigating the market, put a plant habitat that isn't full next to your nursery and use it's "Buy egg" button, you will get sent directly to the dragon part of the market, with the right filter already on.
