Candy Bar has become an integral part of the modern holiday. The sweet table has traditionally been the final stage of any event. But the usual cake, cookies with tea and assorted fruits were replaced by modern sweet decorations. The treats reached the level of creativity and art. Designers who specialize in decorating celebrations will complement the interior with stylized sweets and add zest to the overall atmosphere.
Don't know how to approach the decoration of a sweet table? Are you unsure whether to order the services of an agency or do everything yourself? Don’t know where to buy everything you need for a Candy Bar in Moscow?
Let's look into these issues and dispel all doubts.
Sweets themed decoration
Following modern trends, not a single holiday is complete without the presence of the Candy Bar. Starting from a children's birthday, ending with a themed party or corporate event. There are unspoken competitions among the organizers to create the most creative and original design. What comes first is the desire to surprise and delight guests, to present everything in such a way that no one remains indifferent.
If you want to make your holiday extraordinary and memorable, a cake with candles from the supermarket is best left in the past. Even on a limited budget, you can create a Candy Bar design that will surprise everyone. Don’t think that such troubles are wedding extravagances or corporate tricks. Here are just a few common reasons:
- Children's birthday. Many people order a cake covered with fondant to please their child. Confectioners always decorate it with bright three-dimensional figures. But if you don’t complement it with sweets that match the style, the treat looks like a bright spot on a dull table.
- Theme party. This is an incredibly fun event where you won't be bored. Bright photos of friends will remind you of the holiday. The highlight of any party will be the photo zone, which is presented by the Candy Bar in the celebration stele. Based on the diminishing assortment of the sweet table, one can judge at what point in the celebration the photographs were taken.
- Christmas and Easter evenings. Modern grandmothers want to distinguish themselves in front of their grandchildren. Easter cakes and colored eggs can be complemented with bright candies and unusual sweets. Thanks to this approach, the children themselves will ask to visit. You will more often gather your family around the festive sweet table.
The list goes on and on. There are no limits to making the evening unforgettable. If you haven’t made your choice yet, take a look at the virtual showcase “MarmeladShow.ru”. The presented assortment will certainly give you new ideas.
Tip 2. Main (central) element
Candy Bar can become the main (central) element of decoration at your birthday or holiday. To do this, you need to consider the following:
If you have wallpaper with a variegated pattern, then so that your table does not “merge” with the wallpaper, it needs a background, it is good if it is less variegated, monochromatic and perhaps more contrasting.
If you have wallpaper with an inconspicuous (abstract) pattern, in order for your table to become a bright, attention-grabbing element, it needs a richer (brighter) background.
Basic principles of design
If you want to try your hand at creating a Candy Bar or your budget does not allow you to use the services of professionals, just follow simple rules. Let's list them.
Maintain unity of style and theme
Trying to fully express your creativity at the New Year's Candy Bar will not bring success. The time for colorful, elaborate Christmas trees is far behind us. To make the sweet table look beautiful, you need to stick to one basic idea and not get carried away with the little things. They may look beautiful separately, but will conflict with each other in a single composition. You need to strive to implement one theme, set the plot of a cartoon or national style.
Give preference to minimalism
It is better to place the Candy Bar on a small coffee table or stand. This will make it more rich and develop the architecture upward with the help of stands.
Cover the table with a long tablecloth
You can decorate it, giving it additional attractiveness. The Candy Bar for children is decorated with doll accessories, beads and ribbons.
Use transparent dishes
It will show off all the unusual sweets that you have chosen to decorate the Candy Bar in a favorable light. Flat plates, glasses, vases with high legs, multi-level stands and ordinary glass jars are suitable.
Don't forget about accessories
Use flags, toys, keychains, hairpins, flowers, ribbons, balls, garlands. Visit your local craft store. This will allow you to arrange the exhibition on a budget and beautifully.
Pay special attention to sweets
It is around them that all attention is concentrated. To create a Candy Bar for a children's party, Christmas, New Year or other memorable event, candy from the supermarket is not suitable. It's better to find something new and unusual. Among the assortment of the online store “MarmeladShow.ru”, everyone can choose delicacies to their liking.

Bright straw.
You just need to melt the chocolate in a water bath and dip the straw
Drinks For children under 3 years old, I always recommend water and only water in bottles with a nipple. There are too many allergy sufferers, in addition, there are those who simply have not tried juices, and carbonated drinks are completely useless. Lemonade, fruit drink, compote, juice are always in great demand. Such inexpensive but delicious drinks for the children's table. The main thing is packaging. Until the age of 12-13, the jugs on the sweet buffet have nothing to do. All drinks are served in portions in glasses, jars, bottles with personalized labels. Preferably with a straw. Hot drinks (fruit tea, cocoa) can be offered once during the allotted time. So that there is an adult at the distribution and that children do not run around with cups at this time. Milkshakes (milkshakes) Should also be served at a certain time, as they tend to settle

Buy sweets or bake them yourself
Many housewives can boast of culinary abilities. Handmade treats cannot be compared to industrially produced ones. When making a custom cake or other baked goods, you get the opportunity to make them in the style of the event. Even the smallest wishes of guests or heroes of the occasion will not go unattended. But don't turn the upcoming party into a pastry marathon. Fatigue and lack of sleep will overshadow the joy of the upcoming event.
Candy Bar is not only about pastries. It includes a complex of sweet and decorative elements. If you pay attention to every detail, you can create an unsurpassed masterpiece that will not leave others indifferent. To accompany your baked goods, it is better to order some treats, which are included in the classic sets for the Candy Bar:
- Lollipops. Bright, colorful candies are an integral element of a sweet feast. Modern printed treats will delight children with images of cartoon characters. A twisted multi-colored candy or cane will create an atmosphere of Western celebration.
- Multi-colored sweet dragee. A surprise for guests will be Jelly Belly candies from America. They completely replicate natural tastes, and the Bean Boozled series will shock the most self-confident. Chocolate balls in sweet M&Ms glaze will also please all guests. The main thing is not to mix them with Skittles. They don't fit together.
- Chewing marmalade. The unusual shapes of Trolli toffees will surprise all guests. Using twisted flagella or Fini sticks, you can create sweet decor for both baked goods and other treats.
- Corn straws in glaze. Rocky sticks are the perfect addition to drinks. Before use, they can be used as Candy Bar decor.
- Figured sugar. Useful if natural juice or punch is served at a party. With its help, everyone can sweeten the drink to their own taste. The attractive shape gives it aesthetic appeal.
