How to Host a Candy Themed Party

How to Host a Candy Themed Party

The word “candy” is powerful enough to excite kids like Santa on Christmas morning and take adults back to their carefree childhood memories. Even the most health conscious people have a weakness in their hearts for some type of candy. Some may love chocolate, while for others, gummy bears are the sweets they can’t resist. With sweets being the ultimate comfort food for people of all ages, it’s no wonder that candy themed parties for both children and adults have become increasingly popular these last few years.
 

Candy themed parties can be easily hosted at home by incorporating a wide variety of candy-themed activities, games and refreshments. For children, how you plan a candy themed shindig is mostly based on the ages of the kids attending. For small children, parties should be simpler in décor and the amount of skill required for games and activities. Parents of kids of any age can start out by setting the tone for their gathering by sending out candy themed or candy decorated invitations. The next step is to use candy themed supplies like balloons, decorations, plates and cups. Once these basics are set up, it is time for the fun part of the planning.

A major part of any successful kids’ parties are the games and activities that will keep children entertained. Candy and dessert themed crafts are a great way to differentiate from traditional staples like pin-the-tail on-the-donkey and Simon Says. Kids as young as 3 years old can partake in a wide variety of fun stuff that will let them personalize their own edible creations. With Sugar Cookie Decorating, children can break out the frosting and candies and pretend to be a great pastry chef as they design their own cookie. 

Chocolate Sculptures is another popular activity that kids as young as 3 can enjoy even though it sounds more complex than it really is. Children just pick a sculpture that catches their fancy and then create their own masterpiece with candy, sprinkles and frosting.

For kids who prefer a giant wad of chewing gum to chocolate, Gumball Machine Decorating lets them give a machine a makeover with markers and edible decorations, plus a complimentary bag of gumballs to get that machine truly rolling. 

For children who are a bit older at 5 and over, the crafts get a little more intensive, with activities like Candy Jewelry and Sugar Art. Little girls with a sweet tooth who are also aspiring fashionistas will adore making Candy Jewelry, as it combines the best of both worlds. Kids get to create their own bracelet or necklace made entirely of edible beads and charms for a piece that not only looks greats but tastes great too.

Another fun choice for kids over 5 years old is Sugar Art. Children get to pick their own vessel then fill it with over 10 choices of colored sugar, creating pretty and edible layers as they go.

 Kids over 7 years old have even more craft options to choose from, as they can decorate Picture Frames, Masks, Crowns or Door Hangers with various forms of candy to make their own unique design. They can also recreate cool images with the sweet stuff by making their own Candy Mosaic.

Once the crafts are done, it is time for Candy-themed games for some good old-fashioned birthday party fun.  For kids ages 3 and up, Licorice Limbo and Candy Bingo are sweet updates on classic party games that are even more fun with a sugar rush.

Children ages 5 and over have even more choices of games that make use of physical, mental, and Kobayashi-esque eating skills. On the physical side is the Jawbreaker Relay, where teams relay race with a 1-pound jawbreaker. Meanwhile, Candymonium is a combined treasure hunt and candy relay race all in one.

On the mental side is the Estimation Bowl, where children must guess the amount of candy the bowl contains.

Finally, though not exactly physical or mental, the Licorice Race is also popular, as teams race to eat an extra long piece of licorice. Could the future Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Champ be in training at your shindig?

Kids over 8 years old also have some great age-appropriate games to play at candy themed parties. Musical Dares is an updated twist on musical chairs but with a dare to eat a gross candy if left chairless. There are also the games Name that Candy, a Warhead Contest and an Atomic Fireball Contest.

Once the crafts are completed and the games have been played, it is time to bring on the sweet treats. Sure, there is the traditional birthday cake and ice cream, but parents who want their child’s birthday party to be the one the kids will talk about all year long can take things up a notch with something really special. Carnival style cotton candy or vintage popcorn machines are always popular options to add some nostalgia to any party. Or, for a more Willy Wonka themed take, a Chocolate Waterfall provides a multi-tiered magical chocolate river of dark, milk or Belgian varieties for guests to dip pretzels or marshmallow skewers in.

Parents who want a more traditional dessert element for their candy themed party have some excellent choices with a Dessert Buffet of rice krispy treats, cupcakes, cookies, brownies and fudge, or an Ice Cream Sundae Bar, where guests can create their own sundaes. They can also opt to have a Candy Bar on the Go where guests can mix and match their favorites for a party favor that everyone will love.

Candy themed parties are simple to plan and even easier to host, as no matter what a person’s age is, the appeal of the sweet stuff is universal. All is takes is a little Willy Wonka-like imagination to put together a candy themed party that will be a hit with guests young and old.

Candy Bar Wedding Favors

Candy Bar Wedding Favors

In recent years it has become popular for couples to let their guests make their own wedding favors by setting up a candy bar at the reception. But what is a candy bar and what should you include?

A candy bar is simply a table filled with various forms of confectionary such as candies and chocolates along with small bags or boxes for guests to help themselves. They make eye catching displays within the reception room and are great fun! But you do need to give them some careful planning and choose your confectionary carefully.

Firstly consider where you will site your candy bar within the room and the size of table you will need. Commonly tables will be long but you can make it work with round tables as well. Candy bars can potentially draw a crowd so think about where you place the table and how your guests will get to it. If you choose a round table then think about placing directional signs on it so your guests go around it in one direction – less chance of a mishap that way!

What confectionary will you include on your candy bar? Think about traditional confectionary based wedding favors such as mints, almonds, chocolates and candies. You can also add in cookies, cupcakes, nuts and more specialist confections which perhaps are traditional to your culture. Don’t get too carried away here or you could end up with a surplus of sweet treats which will take years to get through!

Choose your confectionary with your wedding in mind, e.g. colors, themes and shapes. A candy bar of coordinating colored sweets looks amazing, but likewise a rainbow of colors can be just as pleasing. Don’t forget your budget either – candies are very cheap to purchase wholesale but cookies and cupcakes will cost a lot more. You should also think about the time of year of your wedding and the potential for confectionary to melt or spoil.

Plan out how you will present your candies and confectionary and choose a range of vessels to put them in. These can include bottles, jars, bowls, stands, plates etc. Choosing vessels of varying heights will add interest to the display.

Finally, you will need to provide your guests with something to put their wedding favors in so they can take them home. Choose bags or boxes of a reasonable size (especially if you have a lot of candies) and add some small scoops to make it easy to transfer candies into the containers. Add a sign inviting your guests to help themselves and giving your thanks to them for joining you on your special day.

Candy Corn – It’s Not Just For Halloween Anymore

Candy Corn – It’s Not Just For Halloween Anymore

Like all things, over the years candy corn has changed. It has morphed from an orange, yellow and white Halloween candy into a gourmet candy product suitable for candy buffets, gift baskets, cupcake decorating and, of course enjoying.

Candy Corn – The Early Years

Candy corn was first created in the 1880s by George Renninger of the Wunderlee Candy Company. The main ingredient was orange and yellow colored honey. The idea came from the bright colors of traditional North American corn. Each piece was about the size of a whole kernel from a ripe or dried ear of corn. Since Halloween coincides with harvest time, they quickly became a popular treat to share on that particular holiday. The tricolor design of the candy was considered revolutionary for its time and people flocked to buy it.

At first, candy corn was only produced for 6 months out of the year (from March to November). It was packed into wooden buckets, tubs, or cartons and loaded onto wagons or trains to be sold in nearby towns. Commercial production didn’t really begin until 1898 by Gustav Goelitz. He made it with a broad yellow bottom, a tapered orange center, and a pointed white top. Its unique shape gained popularity quickly in both the cities and in the rural populations of the early 1900s.

As time went by, other color variations were made also. A popular variation called “Indian corn” featured a chocolate brown bottom, orange center and pointed white top. More color variations were made to represent other major holidays, including Christmas (in red, white and green) and Easter (in various pastel colors).

People still love candy corn. It grew from a novelty sweet that was mostly produced for Halloween into a major candy item that is produced year-round. In fact, approximately 35 million pounds of it is produced every year!

It was only natural that smart manufacturers wanted to create new and improved version, so they began to experiment with the original recipe, creating new flavors and colors.

Candy Corn Now – The new explosion of Color and Taste

One if the biggest innovations in this candy’s history has come in the form of gourmet candy corn. With exciting new colors and gourmet flavors, these little guys really take it to the next level
