I'm a firm believer that weddings and special events should always incorporate something a little sweet. Whether it's a plated dessert, a wedding cake, or a Pinkberry station, guests always look forward to that little touch of sweetness.
The candy buffet is a sweet trend that I see popping up at events everywhere. I always have to use restraint when setting up these delectable displays (the treats always look so good!), which double as favors for your guests.
A candy buffet is quite simple to construct and usually mirrors the colors or theme of your event. Here are some things to consider when constructing yours:
- Drape the candy buffet table with a colorful table linen to set off the display.
- Select 5-10 different kinds of candies that match your event colors or theme.
- Purchase candy in bulk from a retailer like A Candy Store.
- Head to your local craft store or Ikea to purchase clear glass containers at different height levels for each type of candy. (The different container heights will create a more intriguing display than if they were all one level.)
- Make sure the containers you choose have a wide enough opening so guests can access the candy.
- Don't forget to buy candy scoops for the loose candies. For individually wrapped candies, guests can just pick them up with their hands.
- Pick up some small cellophane bags or mini chinese take out boxes for guest to put their candy selections in.
