Designing the Sweetly Sweet Table - Part One

As I mentioned earlier, I want a sweets table for my little sweetheart's birthday.  I found this two vases on sale at Marshalls today, they were $7 each! I filled them out with some candy to see how they looked, and I am sharing them with you.  I think I will need two more like this and others with different shapes... let's see what I can do before the birthday on November 29. For those of you who have done Candy Buffets before, please give me some advice!



I like how the pink and purple goes togheter here.

I think the candy is too long for this vase, but I wanted to take a picture with some candy on it. I will change the candy for this one. Thanks for the advise!

  2. I usually put the "tall" candy in a cylinder type vase, or lay them out. I found one similar to yours on sale for $7 at TJ Max yesterday~ too funny!

  3. I love the candy jars and what a GREAT deal!! If you are wanting to do pink and purple candy, you can try little boxes of nerds. You could also do M&M's in those colors. Can't wait to see your party! I had a cupcake party for my daughter back in April. You can go to my blog and click on "parties" on the right side of the screen. Maybe you get some ideas for your party :)

  4. No se si podras leerlo, pero con un traductor de Google, es fácil! Acá lo que se EE.UU., es un carro tipo "kiosco" y allí SE UBICAN todas las golosinas, para que los invitados Tengan fácil acceso. Otra idea es cambiar las etiquetas originales, por unas impresas por nosotros, con mensajes graciosos o fotos del homenajeado.
    Abrazos:)
