These darling photo's are some of my favorite candy buffets by fabulous designers. Candy Buffets add color and drama and an element of surprise to any event. Candy buffets are very popular with brides.....the colors of their wedding and the theme of the wedding can be incorporated into the buffet making it unique and very personalized! For example: If you are having a candy buffet for a baby shower and its a girl.....then your main color for the buffet could be pink!! Blue for a boy! That's the concept! You can be so creative and use your imagination. Your guests will be talking about your candy buffet for years to come. Its something they won't soon forget. Candy buffets are a guaranteed success. You can have an open candy buffet through out your event or you can choose to open the buffet towards the end of your event and guests can pack their own "take home" sweet treat bag!! Adorable candy bags or boxes can be provided for your guests. I did a circus buffet for a child's birthday and provided Barnum & Bailey circus boxes. Again, you can let your imagination run wild and really have lots of fun with it. Planning & creating candy buffets can be time consuming. The results are so phenomenal though that its worth consulting with a professional candy scaper who can devote all the time needed to create your desired buffet. Most services can provide an attendant to remain at your party and make sure the candy jars are filled at all times and even serve the favors if that is your preference. If not....then the company can set up the buffet before your party and be back at a designated time to take down the buffet. SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A CANDY BUFFET....YOU WILL BE HAPPY YOU DID!!

Jello Shots--Party Time

I love jello shots! Yummy! There are so many different flavors and colors and ideas. You can get very creative making jello shots. You can do a buffet that includes Jello shots depending on the occasion! It would be a great idea for a bachelorette party....or at the annual "girlfriends" get away week-end. My friend made some jello shots with a gummi bear in each shot and topped with whipped cream! She used clear plastic so you could see the G bear......it was too cute!


This picture of jello shots are FANCY jello shots! These chic shots would wow any crowd! You can easily make trays and trays of them.


I made some raspberry jello and used raspberry vodka a few hours earlier. Can't wait to try them! The second winter storm is blasting us now in West Virginia after already accumulating nearly 3 feet in the blizzard that began last Friday morning and ended Saturday night! Anyway.....I thought it would be cozy to have a few jello shots tonight! It was fun making them. Happy Winter everyone!! Sit back and enjoy the snow! PS I've found delicious jello shot recipes from www.jello-shots-and-shooters.com Please enjoy responsibly and no alcoholic buffets with anyone under the age of 21 attending the party. Oh......can't end without sharing my favorite jello shot.......its vanilla vodka and mixed berry jello for a COTTON CANDY shooter!! Can't help myself when it comes to candy!! lol

Winter Wonderland Candy Buffet

http://www.fantasycandybuffets.com/

Fantasy Candy Buffets created a winter wonderland

candy buffet for a Christmas gathering. The

buffet was a showstopper.....colorful and dramatic!

Gingerbread houses were the main focus and lots of lollipops

and chocolate and candy canes. It was magical and you felt

like you were at the North Pole with Santa Claus! This buffet

took many weeks of planning. It was magnificent. We played

Christmas music and had Christmas lights around the buffet and uplighting made this

candy buffet enchanting. This is probably the most spectacular buffet we've created.

I can't help but remember this buffet...I live in West Virginia (wild and wonderful!) and

it is snowing like crazzzzzzy! It is a winter wonderland with blankets of snow. I am going to post pictures tomorrow ........its just unbelievable. Along with candy.....snow too brings out

the child in all of us. The fireplace is crackling and the hot chocolate is perfect. Our outside

lights are on....its late at night and we are in our PJ'S sitting inside watching the snowflakes getting bigger and bigger.....falling faster and faster. It feels like Christmas Eve! Which is nothing short of heaven!! I feel like any minute we are going to see Santa and his reindeer sled flying thru the night sky. Goodnight all............

Lollipops from The Sugar Factory! Yummy

Brittany Spear's CIRCUS tour featured couture pops (lollipops) which were amazing from The Sugar Factory. I am amazed at all the luscious candy
that can be purchased for candy buffets. Jaw Dropping candy!!

Yankee Candle Shop in Williamsburg Virginia

Valentine's Day 2010 will be my first visit to the Yankee Candle Flagship store in Williamsburg Virginia!

I LOVE candles and use them in my candy scaping business. I used the scent Beach Walk candle in a beach candy buffet and put it in a deep candle jar with seashells and it looked fabulous and smelled like it does when your taking a walk barefoot on the beach with your feet getting wet in the ocean!! With yankee candle you can also personalize the candle with your own photo now. Thats a wow factor!! Lots of new ideas can be created with Yankee Candles for the candy business. I actually found a circus scented candle for my circus candy buffet. It adds such drama and flavor!! http://www.yankeecandle.com/cgi-bin/ycbvp/ycContent.jsp?page=%2fNavigation%2fNon+Product+Left%2fAbout+Yankee+Candle%2fVisit+a+Flagship+Store

Creating a Circus Themed Candy Buffet

I am in the process of putting together a circus themed candy buffet for my niece's birthday! I remember when I was much younger....going to see Barnum & Bailey Circus in Washington DC. I was fascinated! I want to create that same feeling for the kids at the party when they see the candy buffet in circus form!!

I will share my photo's with you of the circus candy buffet once complete!
