CANDY!!!!

I adore candy. Its one of my favorite things ever!!! If a new candy comes out, I totally want to try it out, whether its chocolate with pop rocks mixed in, or a Nerds rope, or a new flavor of M&M....I'm there!!!

So of course the Bat Mitzvah I did this weekend was up my alley!

The customer requested that I copy a cake originally made by Coco Paloma Desserts (so this cake design is NOT original to me). So that's what I did, with only a few small adjustments....anything that was "wrapped" was handmade out of sugarpaste, plus all the lollipops were also handmade. Anything unwrapped was real candy, because we agreed that would be more fun for the kids! Plus that way I was able to really pack the cake with candy goodness.

Each "box" is 6" tall of cake goodness, separated midway by a cake cardboard so that it can be served similar to two tiers per box. Also, there is cake inside the three smaller bag/boxes as well. Tonight the guests will be eating red velvet cake with cream cheese filling, as well as chocolate chip cake with peanut butter cup filling.

Here is a photo once I got it set up....I made a few small adjustments as far as where some of the larger candy was sitting, for better color contrast...plus, in this photo the cupcakes for the candle lighting ceremony are also in place.

The room at Meadowlands Country Club looked TOTALLY amazing....all the tablecloths were done in silver sequins, and all was decorated in pink and candy as far as the eyes could see!!!!! There were even jumbo pink and white marshmallows hanging from the ceiling over the tables. WAY cool.

What a fun party it will be tonight!!!!!
