Christmas is right around the corner!

With Christmas right around the corner I thought I would gather a collection of my favorite dessert tables to show all of you! Having a dessert table at your holiday party is becoming quite the trend! This one was made by Frog Prince Paperie. I love the gingerbread house centerpiece and all the different types of cookies!


This next one is by Anders Ruff, and I love the pop of green against the red back drop!
The red starburst trees are such a cute extra little touch.


This one is created by Birds Crafts Parties and they did a wonderful job of using one color scheme with different patterns! I love the whimsical feel of this table.


What do you plan on having at your dessert table this holiday season?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanksgiving is around the corner!

With Thanksgiving just around the corner I collected some of my favorite fall dessert tables for you. Whats your favorite thing about Thanksgiving?

These are from the HWTM Blog, I love the pinwheels on the wall and the curtains.


Look at these yummy caramel apples! And I love the tags they use on everything!


I love homemade turtles!


Mini pumpkins dug out with frozen pumpkin yogurt inside! YUM!                     
                                              

This one I also really love!


That banner would be really easy to make!




MMMM! Pumpkin pie parfait!



There has to be cupcakes at any dessert table in my opinion!!

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Dr Seuss

Dessert Tables are not just for weddings! They are for every event or party you can think of! I love these Dr.Seuss inspired dessert tables for children's birthday parties!


This party was created by Annie from Annie's eats blog. I love the detail of the dessert table! Marshmallow pops, whoopie pies, cookies, rock candy..whats not to love?!?!



This one was created by Amy Atlas. I love all the matching tags on everything!


And this one was created by Hostess with the mostess. I love the banner and all the decorations! You can have a dessert table at any event you can think of!

Candy Apple Station!

So Smore's arent your thing? How about a Candy Apple station?! Same concept and just as fun for your guests!!! I wish I could go back in time and do both this and the Smore's station at my own wedding!!


You could pick different toppings for your guests to dip the apples in as well, like nuts, candy pieces etc.


Smore's Station

My newest favorite thing at a wedding is having a Smore's Station! It is such a cool interactive activity for your guests to take part in! They also now make different flavor marshmallows so that adds to the fun of it!  Here is a picture of the best one Ive seen yet;



I also love this idea as well! It would be really easy to make that yourself as well!

Fall Is Here!

With fall creeping up and halloween just around the corner I decided to collect some of my favorite fall/halloween candy buffet tables!


Look at this super cute one from Amy Atlas Events! I love the tree and lanterns! And look at those super cute pumpkin candy apples!!!

I also love this super cute babyshower candy buffet! I love the labels for every jar!!


This is really getting me in the halloween mood! CandyWarehouse has all these candies and more! I would LOVE to throw a halloween party just so I could make this candy buffet!!


Another idea I love for a party is a candy apple station! See the apples to the left and then you would add a tub of caramel and the guests choose their toppings. Perfect for a fall wedding!!!

Mad about Candy!

My name is Lisa Smith-Amport and I am crazy about wedding and events! Everything about them from the excitement of the initial engagement to buying the dress and picking your color theme is full of so much joy and nervousness that you will never experience again! I especially enjoy the decorating and planning aspect of it all! Candy buffets and dessert tables are really starting to take over the wedding scene! Its not only my favorite part about planning a wedding but also when I am attending one as well! Its such a great idea to have something for your guests to be able to enjoy after dinner and they've been dancing the night away but also for them to take home and enjoy to remember your special day! There's so much you can do with a candy buffet as well! From the colors to the glassware to the many different kinds of candy you can pick from, it really gets your creative juices flowing!

Mad about candy is an up and coming wedding and event planning company based out of the Chicago Suburbs! We do everything having to do with planning weddings and events! Although we specialize in candy buffets and dessert tables we are also fluent in planning all your wedding and event needs from the initial announcement to the invitations to helping pick your color theme and turning a reception hall into your dream wedding! Its our pride and its our passion. Who wouldn't want to be a apart of someones best day of their life?!
