Lemon-Lime Candy Buffet
categories: decorating ideas, food presentation
Gretchen from b.a.s.h.ful Events sent over some pictures of this adorable Lemon & Lime Candy Buffet they created recently… how cute is this?! There’s so much great DIY inspiration in these pics – from the cute display tags that all feature the same fun pattern to the way everything was individually wrapped so that it all coordinated!
For the favor/candy containers, white takeout boxes (available at craft stores like Michaels) were embellished with the phrase “How SWEET it is to be loved by you!” along with the baby shower date & info.
I also loved how she displayed and individually wrapped the lollipops with tissue & coordinating ribbon…
Mini bags of lemon drops were decorated with color coordinating stickers…
Two large paper “lollipops” added a playful element to the table and balanced out the overall design nicely…
Candy buffets can include other types of treats too! Even bubbles blend in nicely when packaged correctly…
Thanks for the inspiration, Gretchen!

Can anyone tell me the name of the font used here on this buffet? I used to have it on my pc at home and then when I changed to my laptop, I lost it and cannot remember the name. Thanks in advance!

Can anyone tell me how to “stack” or use height to add more room and deminsion to the buffet table. I don’t know what I can use.

I heart the lemon lime theme, awesome color coordination for a candy buffet. I recently did one using fancy cake platters to display the goodies, it worked out well but I wish I would have seen this earlier the individually wrapped candy has inspired me!
