If you want to order a sweet table for a corporate party or any other holiday, just write to us or look at the ready-made options.
Perhaps, stylized parties are so popular and loved because they allow adults to fool around from the heart, pretend to be their favorite movie hero, a pirate conqueror of the seas or a glamorous diva. And if it’s a corporate event, then for one evening you can forget who is the stern boss and who is the ordinary document specialist, and everyone celebrates the holiday together as if all this hierarchy, duties and responsibilities don’t exist. Just like in childhood, everyone plays the role they want! And to make this carefree trip even brighter and more enjoyable, you need to decorate it with a stylized sweet bar. Here are just a few of the currently most popular themes and recommendations for decorating a candy bar for them.

Rock style

Traditional colors for rock style are:

black;
white;
red;
bright pink shades;
silver;
gold;
violet.

It is better to stop at 3-4 of them, no more.

The following will help convey the rock theme to the fullest extent:

notes;
silhouettes of dancing people;
microphones;
guitars;
big and small stars;
vinyl records, etc.

They can be used as a pattern on the background, in the shape and decoration of sweets. For example, records of gingerbread cookies, mastic rock guitars on cupcakes, shiny cake pops in shades that match the style look very interesting. If the team is large and the budget allows, then you can even order a cake in the shape of a large guitar. And don’t forget about the signs with the names of sweets or funny inscriptions; they can also be in the form of plates, stars or more laconic black and white plates.

Cupcakes “Notebook for notes”

Well, the choice of specific types of sweets is up to you. For this and all subsequent styles, the main thing is their consistency in color and shape.

Dishes

Multilayer desserts can be conveniently and effectively served in beach cups. They are made of harmless fiberglass (do not react with food), are lightweight and do not slip in the hand, and do not give off a specific plastic or other foreign smell. These cups are available in various shapes.

Thanks to the different colors of these dishes, dishes receive additional colors. For example, the green or orange color of the dessert will sparkle brightly in a black glass, and the transparent color will clearly show each part of the multi-layered dessert. You can purchase spoons and plates of the same colors and quality.

Gangster Party

Vivid images of Chicago gangsters and their girlfriends from the Prohibition era still excite minds and become a frequent and vivid theme for corporate events. A candy bar should be decorated in elegant black and white colors with red and silver accents and be abundant, rich, even a little pretentious.

Characteristic elements in the decor of sweets and inedible elements of a candy bar:

dice;
cards;
ties and bow ties;
retro pistols and machine guns;
hats, etc.

Cupcakes, cake pops and other sweets

Now let's tell you a little more about sweets. Cupcakes are cupcakes that are topped with chocolate, fondant, or whipped cream. This covering should be in the theme of the celebration and match the color of the overall decor. You can use a pastry pencil to apply a design or inscription using condensed milk or jam.

Cake pops are cakes that are very similar in taste to traditional “potatoes”, but with a more complex cooking principle. Marshmallow is essentially marshmallow divided into small airy pieces. Licorice sticks are a healthy treat made from licorice root juice. Macarons are multi-colored, small-sized cakes made from airy dough.

Traveling around the world

Even the most avid homebodies have dreamed of seeing the whole world at least once. Why not implement this idea at least to a small extent with the whole team? The most active ones can even come up with quests or competitions to find treasures. By the way, a cake is quite suitable for the role of treasure.

A sweet table for adventurers may contain:

all kinds of maps and diagrams;
globe-shaped cake pops;
balloons (as decoration above the table and in the form of cookies, cupcakes);
suitcases;
images of continents, etc.

And the color scheme can be chosen either natural (blue, green, brown shades) or brighter, for example, white-blue-red.

Preparation: where to start?

You need to set a goal, organize a stylized Candy bar. This will be helped by following some recommendations.

The children's sweet table should be decorated in one chosen style, which would be harmoniously related to the theme of the celebration. Here are some types of topics:

Topics corresponding to certain professions (astronauts, scientists, farmers, detectives, etc.).
Which correspond to the child’s hobbies or abilities (singing, dancing, drawing, etc.).
Related to his interests (biology, physical education, geography, etc.).
Corresponding to the selected cartoon. Can be classic or modern.
Which corresponds to the cultures of the peoples of the world from different eras (ancient knights, Vikings, musketeers, Indians, etc.).

In the end, the theme can be even simpler: stars, hearts, stripes, butterflies, flowers. It is better to use a brightly colored tablecloth. If it is plain, it can be decorated using flags, serpentine, garlands, stickers and appliqués.

You should decide in advance whether the arrangement of tables, dishes, decorations and other components will be symmetrical or asymmetrical. It is important to adhere to this even in small details.

Hollywood style

When else will you be able to see your male colleagues in tails and women in elegant outfits similar to the images of Oscar-winning film stars on the red carpet? The Hollywood or Oscar style, as it is often called, implies solemnity and a special glamorous atmosphere.

The sweet bar is decorated in colors that match the style:

black;
red;
fuchsia;
gold;
white

All attributes of the film industry are welcomed in the decor of the area and the design of sweets:

firecracker;
film;
Oscar figurines;
stars;
stills from films, especially black and white;
the Red carpet;
ribbons;
tailcoats;
top hats;
elegant dresses;
candies in shiny foil, etc.

You can put signs in the cupcakes with the inscriptions “Best Actor”, “Best Actress”. And during the evening, the employees who have distinguished themselves recently will be announced and solemnly awarded according to their nominations. And, of course, each guest should get a portion of popcorn!

Placing items on the table

What is important to remember when decorating a children's sweet table with your own hands? As for the density of placing food, we must not forget that a large and sometimes empty table will look underserved and, therefore, poor. Therefore, it is recommended to distribute food at a fairly close distance from each other. In order for the dishes to be placed compactly on the table, it must not be a large table. It is not necessary to place objects in the same plane. Nowadays multi-tiered sweet table settings are used. To do this, use whatnots, various stands, and boxes covered with decorative paper.

In the style of "The Great Gatsby"

The Candy Bar for a Great Gatsby themed party features elaborate details and luxury. However, the color scheme remains sophisticated and neutral.

It is important to pay attention to the correct dishes and utensils; you will need:

silver and golden dishes, plates, cutlery, candy dishes;
It is best to pour candies in shiny foil into transparent jars;
frames with black and white photos, gilded picture frames, small bouquets of flowers, boxes and beads will serve as decorations;
desserts are dominated by shades of white, the decor is black, chocolate, silver, gold, copper;
Small chocolates with retro wrappers will look good;
It is better to refuse cookies and candies in favor of cakes and sweets;
plates with the names of delicacies are rectangular and minimalistic, the inscriptions on them are most often done in an elegant calligraphic font and in gold color;
cakes and pyramids made of macaroons or cake pops can be especially large, emphatically monumental; cakes with cupcakes on a shelf will also look great;
the table can be replaced with a chest of drawers.

A distinctive feature of a candy bar in the “Great Gatsby” style is a large number of decorative details, there may even be as many of them as the sweets themselves.

Cupcakes “Rose in a Vase”

Cupcakes “Lace Wedding”

How to organize

First of all, find a pastry chef or a company that specializes in decorating candy bars. It is necessary to take into account not only the person’s professionalism, tastes, variety and pricing policy, but also experience in decorating sweet tables. Stylish napkins and textiles, tongs and other sweet utensils, beautiful glassware that matches the style of the container - all this forms the basis of the table.

Pay special attention to personal details: for example, prepare kraft paper bags with your initials for those guests who want to take some sweets with them. If the wedding format involves a buffet, make sure that there are plates and cutlery on the table that will allow you to try desserts.

Tubes, skewers, dessert forks and knives are not the entire list of what should be on the table. The pastry chef must tell you exactly what you need and what you need to prepare, if he does not provide the cutlery and utensils himself.

A big plus will be the opportunity to try the sweets that will be on your table. Therefore, check if the pastry chef can provide you with a tasting set.

Save Saved

What drinks are suitable for a candy bar?

If you decide to decorate a sweet table for your wedding with your own hands, you should think about drinks. After all, you always want to wash down “sweets” with something. The choice of drinks in this case will depend on the time of year and your taste preference. For example, in summer it is better to choose cold cola, juices, non-alcoholic and sweet milkshakes and fruit drinks. For greater effect, it always makes sense to add ice and colored straws.

During the cold season, all of the above drinks can be at room temperature and, of course, during this period it is better to do without ice. On the contrary, in autumn and winter, drinks such as hot chocolate, coffee, tempting fruit tea and cappuccino with unusual curly foam will be more relevant than ever. By the way, if possible, you can work with such foam separately. For example, various drawings and figures look impressive in it.

Don’t forget that the wedding sweet table (photos and design options can be found in our article) should not be empty. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a certain number of sweets in reserve. And, of course, one or a couple of people should monitor the state of the table. They will serve drinks and sweets as needed.

Nutritious meals

If desired or necessary, the menu can include sweet and nutritious dishes, including curd pudding, sweet omelette with strawberries, curd truffle and others. When organizing a children's sweet table for the little ones, it is better to focus on light dishes. After all, children of this age love to frolic and run around in between meals. It will be difficult for the guys to do this with overloaded stomachs.

We must not forget that this is not a simple menu, but a festive one. Therefore, it is imperative to include such unusual things as hot dishes with surprises, fruit skewers and other unusual delicacies. Delicious souvenirs made from plastic spoons filled with chocolate heated in the microwave or in a water bath look quite original. Finally, the product is decorated with marmalade, nuts or small sweets and tied with multi-colored bows.
