It won't exist as a giant gumdrop for long - it'll collapse into a gobstopper. At that point, it won't shrink anymore, nor will it have much in the way of a temperature gradient.
It'll be stable in this state, unless it can somehow acquire mass from elsewhere. If this happens, it can overcome the forces keeping it stable ('electron degeneracy pressure') and will explode as a supernova.

Well if its just normal glucose, it should just burn itself out like it does in the human body... expelling its energy, so technically... it would be giving off warmth until the glucose ran out... so we'd only die of lack of oxygen.... well until the glucose ran out, which wouldn't take to long
[edit]
scrap this i just read procs ^^ _________________

Are you sure there'd be no heat? Not even enough to liquefy the delicious, delicious center?
##Edit
Another interesting point. Would this pink sugary dwarf behave at all like a neutron star? As it collapsed down, its rotational velocity would be preserved, causing it to spin really, really fast, right? It'd probably not be big enough to collapse to the point where you see neutron drip or any cool stuff like that, but.. _________________

Possibly, but it wouldn't do anything interesting. It'd be a very, very sweet planet, in the middle of the solar system.
Edit: Not heavy enough to become a neutron star. _________________

A really dense, really sweet planet, and spinning really fast. So if you could fly up to it without being crushed and stick your tongue out, you'd be able to lick the gumdrop sun around its equator every.. couple of seconds? Half a minute? But man, the amount of sugar you'd get on one rotation...
##Edit
Of course, your tongue would have to be super tensile and amazingly heat resistant, but since we're already assuming the fantastic, have at thee! _________________

That's classical mechanics. I hate that. I'm not even going there. _________________

I will now ask Pyraci to photoshop the pink sugary dwarf. Mmmm. _________________
