Candyland Themed Party

From the first time I saw Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I’ve been obsessed with all things sticky and sweet, baked and frosted. Luckily my mom, the craftiest home economics teacher ever, indulged my long-running passion. Together we concocted downright oddball treats—Barbie dolls clad in homemade cake dresses and entire animal farms made of frosting and fondant.

So when I received a request to design a Candyland /Willy Wonka-inspired dessert buffet for a wedding, I jumped like a kid in a Bouncy House at the oh-so-sweet opportunity!   

You, too, can create your own whimsical sweets and treats buffet for a wedding, your best girlfriend’s birthday, a bridal shower or imaginative child’s birthday. Not only are these spectacular feasts fun and colorful, but it might also take you back to seeing Willy Wonka for the very first time.
