Brighten Up Your Party With A Candy Buffet

A buffet bar of sweets alongside your savoury food buffet presents a fun and eye-catching alternative for birthday parties, wedding receptions, baptisms and bar mitzvahs.

Pour your sweets into boxes, baskets, jars, vases and any other container you think will work. Try placing them at different heights on your buffet table and surround them with decorations that match the theme of your party. Set it all up on a striking tablecloth for your guests’ enjoyment. Provide small gift bags or boxes so guests can take candy home as a favour after the party.

Match Your Colour Scheme

The beauty of sweets is the sheer number of colours they come in. Match your buffet to the colour scheme of your party using English or American sweets as required. Sugar coated sweets like M&Ms or foil wrapped ones like Hershey’s Kisses are ideal. Select all blue and white for a boys birthday or pink and white for a girl. Consider greens and browns for Halloween, multiple colours for Easter and red white and green for Christmas. Even weddings can benefit. For example, if you are staying with all white, choose white mints, and silver or gold foil wrapped sweets.

Match Your Party Theme

Sweets can match your party theme whether it is a birthday, Christmas or fancy dress party. For a space themed party, for example, choose Mars bars and Milky Ways, rum truffles can look like meteors and there is always Gobstoppers and other round sweets to act as planets! Include containers and table decorations that reflect the space theme through stars, suns, space ships and astronauts.

You could be having an American themed party in which case you will want a wide range of well-known American sweets, like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Milk Duds, Baby Ruth’s, Tootsie Rolls and Twinkies.

Consider Your Flavours

Chocolate is always a popular sweet buffet flavour choice and could be created with truffles, miniature chocolate bars, moulded chocolates and chocolate covered raisins. Other flavours that would work with sweet buffets include citrus, cherry or mint.

Create height and drama on the table by arranging your sweet containers on decorated boxes wrapped in fabric or wrapping paper that is decorated with images of candy or mimicking the colours of the candy you have selected.

Use Your or Your Guests Personal Favourites

Base your sweet buffet on what you like best – or if it’s for a specific person, on what they like best. Select five to seven of the favourites pile them on your buffet. If the party is for many, ask around for everyone’s top three sweets and pile high with those!

You can really personalise your birthday or anniversary sweet buffets by adding photographs of the guest of honour to the buffet table in amongst the jars and boxes of sweets. Or, if it is a holiday such as Christmas or Halloween, add models of Santa, reindeer or Dracula and Frankenstein. Use your imagination and you’ll have a real talking point at your next party.
