Mr. Lollipop and I have an agreement about food: all of our eating expenses are covered by our joint account. We split the bill for groceries, restaurants, and whatever else right down the middle. However, there are two exceptions to this rule. First, he pays for his own beer, and second, I pay for my own candy.

This arrangement keeps my fiance from going bug-eyed when…

As you may recall I was having a hard time deciding how to display the lollipops and rock candy sticks in our candy buffet. While there were some fantastic suggestions of where to buy test tube type displays in the comments of my previous post, I just could not justify spending another $50 or so (plus shipping to Canada) on racks that I would likely…

Because I absolutely love sugar and pretty much anything sweet, e.g. I put sugar crystals all over my spaghetti, it was a no-brainer that we were going to have a candy buffet. (Disclaimer: My actions in regards to my spaghetti are not necessarily endorsed by my family and friends).

It took me awhile to to figure out what containers to provide for our candy buffet because…

I’m packing up the candy buffet today! There are about 12 containers to pack; luckily we have a lot of boxes from Crate & Barrel and they have really nice packing supplies for glass containers. My caterer said he will provide about a 48-inch table for our buffet. This table in the photo is about the same size, and I think the space a bit…

I bought all of our candy buffet containers many months ago, and since then they have sitting in my closet collecting dust. Yesterday I decided to bring them out and start to work on the candy buffet project. I brought out all the containers and my fiance and I were surprised how many containers we had - I purchased 12 containers?! They were all so…

I love candy buffets! Candy comes in such fun and varied colours, that it’s an easy way to add style and pizzazz to your reception. And it’s delicious! This was one of the very few things that we (Mr. P, the Moms and I) all agreed on, and it was one of the very first decisions we made. I have since purchased some very cute…

Large glass jars are on sale at Pottery Barn for $39.99, regularly $129.00. Scoop them up for your candy buffets while they last!

So you’ve finally picked your wedding colors. You ripped out the perfect shade of pink from the latest issue of Martha. You found a swatch of aqua from a vintage dress. Or maybe you headed over to the paint section at Home Depot. Whatever your method, you can now match that perfect shade down to the smallest wedding detail. At Translucent Chocolates, chocolate and candy-coated…

I love lollipops something fierce. Hands down, they are my favorite candy. I don’t know why, as it seems that I can never just suck on them like I’m supposed to. I’m a biter. These pretty candys would be gone in one bite with me.

Favorsandflowers.com has a large selection of these babies in a wide variety of colors that would be cute as individual wedding…

I think we might add yet another item to our ever growing *small* candy buffet.

It’s called Pashmak or Persian Fairy Floss. It’s a cotton candy or sorts, made from sesame oil and sugar. It’s delicious to say the least. It comes in a variety of flavors such as:

Mr. Strawberry and I are doing a mini candy buffet on our guest book table, all because I couldn’t decide what to do as favors. I made a compromise with myself to do a small candy buffet of about three different tasty candy treats and mini cupcakes for guests to take home. I’ve been looking for cool decanters for the candy and found them at…

I have too many ideas. If I’m not careful, my wedding is going to look a pink and brown explosion. Much too overwhelming. However, I’m having a hard time deciding which ideas to throw out–especially when it comes to favors. I am no longer doing chocolate chip cookies and milk. Too hard.

I had to decide between a candy buffet and mini cupcakes so I’ve…

We just decided to add these:

(White chocolate macadamia nut cookies) to our dessert buffet. They’ve been my favorites since just about forever, and I can’t believe I hadn’t thought to add them before now.

Also, for Mr. Blueberry, we’ll have a large bowl of Sour Patch Kids:

When the cat’s away the mice will play. Or, in my case, when Mr. Lily is out of town I bake (and paint the town red with the girls, of course!).

I am having a candy buffet at the wedding and would like to make one or two things for it because I love baking. This plan may blow up in smoke if I get…
