Western Candy bar (candy bar) for a wedding is, in our opinion, a sweet table, only beautifully decorated. Such a corner of sweets is appropriate for any festive banquet, including a wedding. You need to start by choosing a festive menu: for dessert, it is recommended to choose sweets that will not deteriorate in a couple of hours and will not create heaviness in the stomach.

At the end of the celebration, so as not to bother with bonbonnieres and gifts, you can make a sweet surprise for your guests. Stock up on an extra set of sweets, wrap them up and take them with you.

Candy bar decoration

The main task of the designer is to draw attention to the kandi bar. Sweets of 2-3 tones look great, then you can make wonderful photos against the background of such a sweet table. Anything can be used as decorations - beautiful dishes, vases, soft toys, figurines, trays, coasters, ribbons, textiles. All kinds of plates, flags and posters with inscriptions look interesting.

Natural flower arrangements are a win-win for any wedding theme. You don't need to overdo it: 2-3 bouquets in beautiful tall vases, flower petals randomly scattered around the table - and it will be impossible to take your eyes off the candy bar!

Balloons and garlands are also quite appropriate. If the subject allows, you can put graceful long candles. Then at the end of the evening, when the birthday cake will be brought out, it will be possible to create a romantic atmosphere with dim lighting.

Suppose you have picked up a sea of ​​goodies, but now it would be nice to sign dishes, especially if they are exotic. Place cards with details of the dish next to each tray.

The required quantity is calculated for 1-2 products of each type per guest. Dishes are placed at different levels: first, flat trays, then vases and stands on legs, and in the background are tall cakes and multi-tiered sweets. If the dishes are repeated, the layout may be symmetrical. For example, there is a cake or cupcake stand in the center, and other dishes on either side. Place spare spoons and skewers at the edges of the table, and place glasses on the side on a small table.

Cookware should be stylish, lightweight and shatterproof. Desserts are placed in it in portions so that the guest can come up, choose and quickly take the treat they like, and not create a crowd at the table. It is best to place lollipops, marshmallows, marshmallows, etc. in transparent containers, then people will immediately see what is lying and where.

Creams, mousses, jellies are served in small glasses: just put a few spoons of food, because the guests will want to try everything. Cakes and cupcakes should be in corrugated tins so that people do not get their hands dirty, for sticky sweets, serve skewers, for loose dragees - paper bags and a scoop, which can be poured into the required amount.

Candy bar decoration styles

The easiest option is to make a small coffee shop or teahouse. Pick up several varieties of teas and coffees, juices and other drinks. Guests in their free time can come up and choose something to their liking. An interesting solution and fruit bar: fruit cuts are served with ice so that they do not wind up.

Also, cream, caramel, gravy, and more may be present on the table. You can put a juicer next to it so that the guest can make fresh. If children are present at the wedding, a separate sweet table with healthy delicacies will be organized for them.

A separate conversation is the stylization of the candy bar. The most popular styles are French, oriental, rustic, vintage, country and others. Pick a theme that is closest to your wedding - and experiment.

Candy bar is a trend of modern celebrations, it is not only a wonderful selection of sweets, but also a festive decor that creates an amazing mood!

(the so-called candy bars) have become one of the main elements in the preparation of the celebration. Today, many couples prefer to arrange an attractive table with a lot of sweets in addition to a giant wedding cake, and some even completely abandon one mono cake in favor of a sweet variety.

After all, why choose just one dessert when you can offer your guests an entire buffet full of delicious, favorite desserts? Not only does a wedding candy bar offer your guests more choices, it can also be more cost effective depending on what type of desserts you choose and how many sweets you are willing to make yourself.

While setting up a candy bar may seem like a fairly straightforward task (cakes + donuts = success, isn't it?), Every effort should be made to give the sweet table an attractive look that matches the color scheme and overall style of your wedding.

On the Internet, you can find many examples of perfectly served, colorful candy bars, and in the article, in turn, you can find some useful tips on how to do it as beautifully and profitably as possible.

1. Beautiful location

What is the difference between a candy bar and an ordinary sweet table? First of all, the beautiful, harmonious arrangement of desserts on the table. By placing dessert containers on elaborate stands of different heights, you achieve depth and visual harmony, allowing you to highlight the most important elements of your sweet table, such as cake.

How to achieve different heights on the dessert table? Cake holders are the obvious choice and allow you to create a cute setting for every dessert. Try to find a large assortment of coasters of various sizes and heights, otherwise a table filled with identical containers of cakes and pastries will not have the visual effect you are looking for.

If you're on a tight budget and short on time to find enough interesting cake stands, you have several options to add the height you require. For example, you can create interesting DIY cake stands!

For these purposes, you can use antique boxes, books, boxes, or any other interesting items that you can find. A variety of items will create the desired height, and you will not need to use the special cake stands.

If you are preparing a rustic wedding, you can use old wooden boxes or boxes covered with a cloth or tablecloth to disguise the stand. For a travel-style wedding, small bags can be used for the coasters, which, when combined with a globe and a model airplane, will look very stylish.

1. Decor elements

Okay, you already have a candy bar theme and you know how to arrange the desserts beautifully on the table. But while this is still not enough to talk about a full-fledged wedding candy bar - you need to add festive decorations!

The easiest way to fill the table with decorative elements is to add flowers, candles and / or items related to your wedding theme. When talking with your florist (or with the one from whom you are going to buy flowers), ask if he can provide you with several different vases for decorating the table, or ... garden tools. Small buckets or garden watering cans can be great containers for bouquets.

Your guests will be delighted to know what delicious desserts they can choose from, especially if you provide several types of desserts with different fillings to choose from! Write about the composition of pastries and cakes, as well as candy fillings by writing this information on handcrafted signs and pinning them on dishes with desserts.

Believe me, this is a very constructive idea!

1. And, in fact, the desserts themselves!

The last step is to make sure you have everything planned and ready for your wedding day. If you are going to prepare the sweet table yourself, it is clear that this will take a little longer than if you just had to pick up your wedding cake from the bakery. If you are not planning to pick up your wedding desserts yourself, instruct a trusted family member or friend to stop by the bakery on time for cake and other desserts (muffins, donuts, cookies, sweets, etc.) and whatever you need to set up a candy bar ...

In terms of quantity, it is always better to have a surplus of food on your wedding day than a half-empty table and hungry guests. The same is true for desserts! If you do not have a large cake, you should prepare 3-4 mini-desserts per person (if you have a cake, take 1-2 mini-desserts per person).

It is also worth diversifying the selection of desserts on the festive table. For example, if you plan that there will be 3-4 mini-desserts per guest, then you should have 5-6 sweets to choose from.

This means that if you are planning a candy bar and one large cake for 100 people, then for one person you will have about 2-3 servings (including a slice of cake per 100 grams), or just about 250 grams of dessert. Moreover, on the table, in addition to the cake, there should be 4-5 different types of dessert to choose from.

Now that you have learned the basic principles of planning and organization, you can create the best wedding candy bar imaginable and delight your invited guests with beautiful and delicious sweets.

The ultimate guide to sweets and decor in a modern candy bar

Candy bar (candy bar) - sweet buffet table, buffet. But you don't want it because it's sweet, do you? The candy bar is beautiful! It can become an excellent photo zone, determine the theme of the holiday.

Sweet buffets began to be made at American weddings. There it is an island of sophistication, charm, ribbons, ruches, glitter of glass. At children's parties, they are easier. Because they are made for children. This means that we take unbreakable dishes and a lot of paper decor. But first things first.

What can be a candy bar for a children's party?

Each mother decides for herself what role the candy table will play at the child's party:

• Buffet. In this case, it is here that all the food that the hostess plans to treat guests with will be offered. The buffet can be sweet, savory or mixed.
• Snack. The table is served with light snacks from fruits, light salads, crackers, cheeses. Anything you can eat before your main course. But this option is suitable for either teenagers or adults. For children under 12-14 years old, I strongly do not recommend it to spray.
• Sweet table with a compliment. The table menu is 100% sweet and may not be overly varied. The idea is to prepare special bags, boxes and invite guests to take sweets with them. , the next day, guests over a cup of tea or coffee will enjoy a complimentary dessert and will remember your holiday again.

Bonus features of the candy bar:

• creating a festive, truly magical environment
• beautiful background for photos

What's included in a candy bar? Sweet buffet menu

Cupcakes

Sponge cake small cakes, also known as muffins or mini muffins. The cap of the cupcakes can be made of cream, glaze, mastic, or just powder. Inside, they can be empty or filled. Moreover, I would choose the option based on the age of the birthday person and guests. The younger the audience, the simpler the cupcakes should be.

Fruits and berries

The most suitable option is in the form of canapes, baskets of dough or portioned fruit salads. Can be combined with fruit and berry sauces, caramel and cream.

Cake pops

Sponge cake on a stick. At first glance, everything is simple, but they are delicious. I fell in love with them the first time, although in terms of calorie content, this is a merciless dish. It is worth noting that cake pops are not only tasty, but also beautiful. Confectioners in this case are akin to jewelers. With cake pops.

Marshmallow

Airy marshmallows just lend themselves to decor. If you dip it in icing and then in a cup with decorative sugar balls, you get an almost professional product.

Macaroon or macarons

French two-layer biscuits with filling. With the help of dyes, the dough and cream are colored in pleasant pastel colors. Dessert looks and tastes very delicate.

Cookies, eclairs, cream baskets and other cakes

Everything that can be taken in hand and eaten without tools and practically in one bite. Focus on appearance.

Ethnic sweets

For themed holidays, you can focus on, for example, oriental sweets. At children's parties, this is an unpopular option.

Not limited to food. Moving on to drinks.

Beverages

Lemonade, fruit drink, compote, juice are always snapped up. Such, but delicious drinks for the children's table. The main packaging.

Until 12-13 years old, jugs on a sweet buffet have nothing to do. All drinks are served in portions in glasses, cans, bottles with personalized labels. Preferably with a straw.

Hot drinks (fruit tea, cocoa) can be offered once at the allotted time. So that there is an adult at the distribution and that the children do not run around with cups at this time.

Milkshakes (milkshakes)

They must also be served at a certain time, since they tend to settle.

Candy bar utensils

Everything that stands on the table without movement and simply acts as a stand can be either cardboard, foam and wood (durable), or glass, porcelain (fragile).

And everything that children take in their hands, regardless of age, should be as unbreakable as possible. High quality plastic, tempered glass, etc.

In the case of a candy bar, instead of the usual dishes, the most unexpected objects can be used: flower pots, glass jars, decorative buckets, children's toys, baskets, candlesticks, boxes, vases, etc.

Here everything can be the other way around: we eat from glasses, and we drink from cans. Let the children do what is in their nature.

Candy bar decoration and accessories

The main task of the candy bar is only one - to attract attention. If you notice a swarming crowd in the coveted place at the holiday, then the task is completed. Professional decor is done by specialists. It's expensive, but generally worth it, sorry for the tautology.

Hand made in the area of ​​the candy bar has not been canceled either. There is where to turn around. You can download a special set, as in the example above, print, and spread / hang all the elements. Or you can do everything with your own hands. But in the face of time pressure, this is a difficult task, believe me.

In addition to decorations, you can decorate the table with toys, figurines, photographs, and themed elements. And don't forget about the tablecloth, runner, napkins, etc.

Candy bar - beautifully decorated table with sweets. In recent years, this Western tradition has become fashionable at Russian weddings as well, becoming a special trend in wedding decor.

Why do you need a candy bar at a wedding?

First, to decorate the interior of the hall, surprise guests, cheer them up and deliver aesthetic pleasure.
Secondly, to treat the audience, and guests can enjoy delicious treats both at the banquet itself and take their favorite sweets with them as a compliment from the newlyweds (in this case, the sweet table serves as a beautiful alternative to traditional bonbonnieres).
Thirdly, it is inexpressible to make the children happy, if any are planned at the wedding celebration.
Fourthly, the candy bar is an excellent "props" for wedding photography. Sometimes decorators organize a sweet table in a certain style in nature especially for a wedding photo shoot (later it can be moved to the banquet hall).

What sweets are used to make a candy bar?

If you are planning a Western-style sweet table, then you should pay attention to traditional European sweets. Let's list the main ones.

Have you decided to give up the banal and boring serving of desserts? The fashion that came from Europe to arrange a candy bar for a wedding will perfectly help in this case. Such a presentation will certainly become the highlight of the holiday, emphasize the style and decorate it, as well as please all guests.

Сandy bar - what is it?

Literally translated, candy is candy, and the candy bar is filled with all sorts of small candies, dragees and marmalade that do not stain or stick to your hands. In the interpretation of our holidays, the candy bar almost completely replaces the sweet table. This is a buffet serving, in the form of a free-standing, beautifully decorated table.

Its filling depends on your desires, capabilities and taste preferences.

You can arrange for a chocolate fondue or order a chocolate fountain. Expensive, but very effective. And delicious.

On the same table or next to it, you can organize a tea and coffee table. If this is the spring-summer period, soft drinks are perfect: compote, lemonade, punch.

How many sweets should I serve?

For the assortment, it will be enough to serve 5-6 types of sweets, excluding sweets. Or 3-4 types of various desserts, if the wedding is in an economy version.

Of course, it will not be possible to calculate the serving of desserts, like other treats, to a gram. The guests are completely different people, with different tastes and appetites. Someone may have a sweet tooth, while others do not eat sweets at all. But there are certain norms that will come to your aid. For example:

• "Large" sweets - muffins, cakes, pies are served 1 pc. per person;
• macarons, cookies, donuts - 2 pcs;
• various small sweets - 100 grams per invited guest;
• wedding cake is ordered at the rate of 150 grams per person;

Do we order in a restaurant, in a pastry shop or do we bake ourselves?

The question is where to buy sweets will surely arise. There may be several options. Each has its own pros and cons. Consider them:

1. Order at a restaurant.

Every good restaurant has a pastry chef, and the opportunity to order desserts for a wedding.

Pros: savings on the delivery of desserts, rent or purchase of special coasters, decorations and utensils for the candy bar. Waiters will do everything for you. Average price.

Cons: Do not expect miracles in terms of assortment - you will be offered muffins, muffins, portioned desserts and fruits. Decorating desserts and a sweet table without much imagination and delights.

2. Confectionery.

Sweets to order in a pastry shop or from a private pastry chef are much tastier, more beautiful, better quality.

Pros: originality and beauty, taste exceeds all expectations. A wide range of desserts on offer. You can do everything exactly as you need (themed wedding, holiday in a certain color)

Cons: price. Such desserts will cost almost twice as much. Delivery is not provided in all pastry shops. And this means that in addition to transportation costs, you need to figure out exactly how to get all this beauty to the place and not spoil anything. You may have to pay extra in the restaurant for renting a table, textiles and dishes for "other people's" sweets.

3. We bake ourselves.

Do you have a signature cake or cookie recipe, or just love to bake. Or maybe you want to save some money - make your own desserts.

Pros: You are confident in the quality of all products. Everything will be done "with a soul." And sweets "from the bride" will be a charming highlight of the holiday.

Cons: very energy consuming. Especially the day before the wedding, when the bride has a lot of different things to do and care about. Again, the issue of transportation.

A “mix” of desserts can be a great idea. Something simple to order at the venue. To entrust complex and original desserts to pastry shops, and one dessert can be baked with the careful hands of the newlywed.

We decorate the sweet table

The design of the candy bar can be entrusted to professionals, but there is nothing difficult about it, and you can handle it yourself.

Sweets should become the main decoration of the table. It is very important that they are consistent with the general style, color and theme of the event. A table with desserts should look harmonious against the general background, and not look superfluous.

Dishes and textiles also need to be carefully selected. If the wedding, for example, is in a nautical style, anchors and mastic steering wheels on the cakes should become decorations.

Cream on cupcakes and blue macaroons. Modern food colors are safe for health, but they can make any of your fantasies come true. Sweets look beautiful all in one color, or passing from tone to tone. Decorate the table with fresh flowers and the space around the table with helium balloons. The candy bar area will be a great place for guests to socialize and have a photo shoot.
