Candy buffets have become quite popular lately…I see them at birthday parties, weddings, and other events. It is fun to see how candy can be displayed in various containers with unique labels. Sometimes these displays are even too pretty to eat! I enjoy creating fun little displays of candy for our family and guests for […]
