Dessert/Candy Buffets

Anyone having one? What do you think about this idea?

We thought about doing it and at the last minute changed our minds. It was too hot for some of the candy I wanted, so we scraped the idea. We did sno coneinstead. I love the idea though! Yummy!

You had sno cones at your wedding reception? Cool, never seen that before ;)

We are having the wedding cake and punch at the church and my sister is making western shaped chocolates, western shaped sugar cookies, wedding cake doughnuts and there will be 2 sugar free desserts there for my dad and Eric's uncle.

At the formal reception we are having the chocolate groom's cake and more chocolates, cookies, doughnuts and a surprise (she won't tell me what)!

We did a dessert buffet after happy hour. It had cookies, pastries, candies, chocolate fountain, ect.

Thanks, I loved it. I think most of the guests did too. But mostly I loved it and ate a ton!

i think i am doing it too! I think it is sooooo cute! I will put only white candy and lollipops in some clear cookie jar.

[janiecutie]

are you going to give everyone a bag or boxes for candy or one by couple?

We are doing a Halloween Candy buffet and giving everyone their one pupkin buckets to go "Trick or Treating" with.

Sounds yummy - wish i had done it for my wedding.

We had one after the real meal. There was so much yummy desserts I was not sure what to eat. I think I ate more dessert than supper. (and that wasn't much! BEcause I was so sick!!)

We're debating doing a candy buffet. The reception site charges about $5 per person for a dessert buffet and because we're having cake we dont want to have a bunch of cakes and cookies. The candy buffet is definitely a contender though! ;)

That's such a cute idea!
I can not wait to see pics from your Wedding!

I think that is such a good idea! If I had the extra money for my wedding, I would have done that! I love desserts anyways! I say if you have the money u should do it! :)

I am soooooooo interested. How did you do it? Did you rent a machine of some kind? Hmmmm I might scrap the chocolate fountain if I can swing the snow cones instead!

We had a dessert/ snack table set up arround 10-1030pm that had lemon tarts, cookies, brownies, fruit. It was nice. I liked it because it gave everyone a little somthing to snack on.

I have reserved/remted a machine ($60 or so) because of this post. I am so excited - thanks for the idea!

We are having a dessert buffet that comes with the dinner, including a chocolate buffet. And we have also arranged to have a cotton candy machine!!

I have always been attracted to the candy buffet idea, but our budget is limited so I am thinking about having snacks such as veggies and fruits and munchies like that and like the regular cheese and crackers, and then have a candy bar.

I reallly have my heart set on having set seating for my guests and having place cards and stuff, so I am trying to do something where I can make it semi formal enough to have assigned seating but to not have an actual meal, if that makes since

does anyone have pictures or a list of desserts from their dessert/candy buffet?
