We're so excited to share images of the Moroccan themed candy & dessert buffet we created for Angela's Bridal Shower at Testa's in Southington, Connecticut. The purple & gold sweets table coordinated perfectly with the rest of the decor throughout Angela's Moroccan themed party.
The entire table was covered in purple, gold & chocolate sweets. Some of our favorites included Chocolate Covered Apples & Pretzels, Rock Candy, Chocolate Coins, M&M's & Grape Gummy Bears. Yum! Please enjoy the pictures!

We're so excited to share photos of the white & silver candy & dessert table that we created for Stephanie & Michael's wedding at the Saybrook Point Inn.
We met the beautiful bride, Stephanie at the Hartford Bridal Expo, where she fell in love with the glitzy white & silver candy table that we had on display. Stephanie was envisioning something very similar for their elegant wedding at the Inn..........lots of bling, tons of glam & loads of goodies. This wedding was right up our alley!
Take a look at the 12 foot spread of delicious desserts & candies that Stephanie & Michael provided to their wedding guests. We heard the table was a huge hit!

Only a few more weeks until spring & we cannot wait! As I sit here under my warm fuzzy blanket, I can't help but daydream about the exciting trip we took to Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club in Mamaroneck, New York. The club is located on a stunning multi-acre waterfront estate with breathtaking views of Long Island Sound. Ahhhhhhh..... we must go back.
So, why did we make the trip? We were contacted by Nareen, a fabulously fun mom who wanted to make her daughter, Adrianna's baptism a day to remember. As soon as Nareen started telling us about Adrianna's celebration, we knew one of our custom designed candy buffets would fit in perfectly.
 For Adrianna's party, we created a very sparkly, extremely elegant candy table all decorated in pink & white. Some of yummy sweets included Chocolate Covered Pretzels, personalized Pixy Stix & Rock Candy (created especially for Adrianna).
We provided custom embossed candy favor bags so guests could enjoy themselves for days or weeks to come.
 Is your bundle of joy having a special day? Contact us to get more info on our custom designed candy & dessert tables. Oh...and please make sure you like us on Facebook. |

Mirror Mirror, on the wall, who is the
fairest one of all? Well......after getting our hands on the fabulous
images from this fairytale photo shoot we participated in, our answer is
clearly Marisa from Sassy Mouth Photography. Believe me......even the Queen would agree!
Marisa reached out to us about a month ago to ask if we would be
interested in participating in a Snow White inspired photo shoot with a
group of other very talented local vendors. Ummmm....of course! We
immediately started thinking about what we wanted to create for the
shoot. It didn't take long to decide that we wanted to design a rustic dessert
table for Snow White & her seven little friends that would coordinate with
the whimsy woodland theme that Marisa was envisioning. For the table
design, we rounded up our blue birds, branches, moss and our very
popular rustic table skirt. For desserts? Our Mini Apple Pies,
Chocolate Covered Oreos, and Chocolate Covered Apples had to make an appearance. We made an apple
for each dwarf and an oh so special apple for Snow White.
Here is the team of incredible individuals that participated in this amazing project. Models: Meghan & Tom
We are sharing lots of pictures of the dessert table (we loved so many of them) as well as images of some of the other beautiful details from the shoot - all taken by the amazing Marisa at Sassy Mouth Photography. Enjoy!
We made a fancy little apple just for Snow White. The apple was displayed on our handmade rustic swing, which we hung from manzanita branches.
Seven mini apple pies..........one for each dwarf.

We provided a Chocolate Covered Caramel Apple for each of Snow White's seven special little guests, Sneezy, Sleepy, Dopey, Doc, Happy, Bashful & Grumpy, along with Snow White's fancy red apple.

 Our absolute favorite pic from the shoot......breathtaking!
Thanks for checking out the photos. A special thank you to Marisa at Sassy Mouth and Anna at Country Girl Collections for inviting us to be a part of this magical shoot! We loved working with you and all of the other incredible vendors. |

We had a fun couple of weeks showcasing our stylish sweets at the Hartford & Springfield Bridal Expos. Jenks Productions puts together a great show packed with some of the most talented people in the the industry. We had an awesome time talking to all of the sweet couples along with their fabulous family & friends.  For both shows, we displayed one of our most sophisticated & sparkling tables, The Glammy. The Glammy is always elegantly dressed in white tulle and loads of crystals & bling. We styled the table in classic black & white & loaded it with some of our most beautiful sweets, including Chocolate Covered Pretzels & Oreos, Rock Candy Sticks with Bling, Gumball Necklaces & the oh so popular Chocolate Covered Apples.
We also brought along jumbo cupcakes & delicious mini apple pies. Each mini pie is homemade with a pound of Granny Smith apples. Did we say "mini"?
Here are some pics from the show..
 Our Chocolate Covered Apples are so popular. Each Granny Smith was dipped in caramel & white chocolate. We topped them off with some Candy Brigade sparkle & bling. Beautiful & tasty!
Our signature Rock Candy Sticks with Bling
 At the show, we met so many couples that were opting for cupcakes in lieu of cake for their wedding. We love this idea! Cupcakes can be dressed up beautifully and guests love them because they can take their dessert home. Just like all of our other sweets, our cupcakes are personalized to match the couple's wedding colors & style.
 How fancy are these gumball necklaces? Adding a few of these pretty little jewels to your candy table looks fabulous.  All of our candy & dessert tables come with custom favor bags. Once the table opens, guests grab a favor bag & fill it up with all of their favorite sweets. What an awesome wedding favor! These personalized Whirly Pops are a great addition to the candy buffet.  More pics of the candy & dessert table
 These mini apple pies make great wedding & shower favors. We place each pie in a beautifully decorated box - you pick the color & design. Each pie box includes a fork & a knife, or 2 forks and a knife if you're giving out one per couple. Guests love these!!! We've been told that they have a hard time surviving the car ride home!
We had such an awesome time at the Hartford & Springfield Bridal Expos this year! The show was extremely successful for us. We couldn't have done it without 2 of the best helpers - who did a wonderful job working our booth with us. Thank you Angela & Erin! We hope you will join us again next year!

As the weather gets colder, we thought we would share some images to remind us of summer. We designed this gorgeous candy & dessert buffet for Angelica & Kevin's Beach Bling Wedding held at The Water's Edge Resort & Spa in Westbrook, Connecticut. The sweets table was styled around their wedding colors of green and brown. The table was filled with candy and lots of Chocolate Covered Goodies - Pretzels, Strawberries, Apples and Oreos!
We loved how well the table coordinated with Angelica & Kevin's gorgeous wedding.

What is it about "Old
Hollywood" that still leaves us breathless and longing for the good old
days? Glamour never seems to go away, it just changes faces. This is what we think of when we look into
the Hollywood some of us can only dream about........lots of glamour
and glitz, from feathers to large broches and diamonds everywhere.
We
designed this Gold and White Candy and Dessert Table for a fabulous Old Hollywood photo
shoot organized by the talented Julie of Jewel Photography. The amazing team:
Here are some of our favorite pics from this fun photo shoot.

We're
so excited to share pictures of the Black and White Candy Buffet we
designed for Jeff and Erica's wedding this past weekend. We loved how the
candy table turned out. It fit in perfectly at Jeff and Erica's elegant
wedding reception at The Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown.
The
couple selected mainly white and silver candies and chocolates for their candy
buffet. The table was filled with Jelly Beans, Hershey Kisses, Pearl
Gumballs, Yogurt Raisins, Rock Candy, Chocolate Covered Pretzels and Chocolate
Covered Oreos. Jeff and Erica also selected some colored candy such as
Sour Patch Gummy Bears and Caramel Creams. As you will see, we found some
creative ways to display these candies without sacrificing the look of the
table.
We
would like to send a special thank you to Erica and Jeff for allowing us to be
a part of their beautiful day.

We are LOVING the Tiffany Themed Candy & Dessert Table that we created for the Hartford Bridal Expo. We shared a few pictures of our table a few weeks ago, but we have SO MUCH more to share.
Some of our favorite details include the handmade Tiffany Blue Backdrop, which we tufted and adorned with gems. Do you want the truth? We stayed up until 3:00 in the morning the night before the show making this fabulous backdrop. I have to say, it was well worth it! Take a look at the photos below to check out the backdrop and some of our other cute details.
By the way, if you're interested in a candy table just like this, please contact us. We can customize just about everything you see in this blog specifically for you and your event.
