Fall Sweets!

Summer has ended, all the kiddo's are back in school, and you may be thinking to yourself that the party is over!  Not the case here :)  Lots of weddings to plan, and lots of gatherings to attend and put on...the fun is just beginning and it should be for you too!  I have a couple of new "sweet" ideas that I found from fellow bloggers and such online.  The first one is taking a marshmallow pop, almost a candy buffet staple now, and making it into a marshmallow candy corn!  It is really cute and sure to make any fall party a hit!  All you really need for this one is Marshmallows ( regular or camping size), pop sticks, and candy melts (you can buy from Michaels).  At Michaels they have a white and orange color.  You can also add food coloring to make it a desired shade if you wish! 
As always, Happy Planning!

8-12-2011

I was called upon to do an "impromptu" candy buffet for a couple that got married 8-12-2011.  I had a consultation with the bride less than 2 weeks before her wedding and hit the ground running!  Her and her fiance were so much fun and they wanted to reflect their personality with the theme of their candy buffet.  This one was a blast to design and I managed to snap a few pictures before the crowd realized there was a candy buffet!  

Homemade Sweets!

Since starting blogging, I have been constantly on the hunt for candy recipes that are relatively easy to make at home.  Kind of "fool-proof" recipes so that everyone can enjoy making desserts and candy!

One such recipe I found recently was from a blog called "Not Without Salt".  This recipe is archived and the type of candy is extremely popular with all of my candy buffets this year!  It is called Apple Pate de Fruit. These candies are traditionally French and the consistency is much like hardened jam.  Pate de Fruit, whichever fruit you choose is wonderfully chewy, and sugary; much like the fruit slices you buy at the grocery store.
