Candy Buffet sayings!
Time and time again I get asked about candy buffet sayings. There are quite a few out there that are used quite frequently:
1. Sweet Dreams
2. Love is Sweet! Enjoy a Treat!
3. Enjoy the Sugar Rush.
4. Love is Sweet!
5. Use the scoop, Use what you like. Leave some for others. Be polite.
6. Step right up to our Candy Buffet. Its a Sweet addition to a wonderful day!
7. Sweet Shoppe. [Insert wedding date]
8. Serving you a little treat, just to say we think you’re sweet!
In addition to these sayings, I also recommend that you come up with something personal-it doesn’t have to rhyme and it will be unique!

The Cupcake Spot-A Little Piece of Heaven!
http://www.thecupcakespotinc.com
As a fan of cupcakes, I have looked long and hard for a Chic Sweets partner that makes delicious cupcakes and I’m happy to say that I’ve found that in the Cupcake Spot! All of the cupcakes are hand-made and all of the flavors are lovingly concocted and combined by the Cupcake Spot’s staff – often using recipes handed down from generations of family and friends.
One of the unique ways you can make your candy buffet stand out is to add elements such as cupcakes. The Cupcake Spot can personalize the cupcakes to fit the theme of your candy buffet table (check out the photo gallery). It looks amazing!
You can enjoy their cupcakes at two locations in Tampa and in St. Petersburg although please note: if you are crazy about a specific flavor try to get there early since they sell out pretty quickly.

Chic Sweets Appears on ABC’s News Now
Okay, so I had the amazing opportunity of being asked by ABC’s Good Morning America’s Tory Johnson to appear on a segment she does on workplace issues/concerns. I took the opportunity to discuss the ups and downs of being and entrepreneur. It was a great experience and opportunity for Chic Sweets and I was thrilled to be a part of it. Check out my tv debut on our website: www.chicsweets.com
I’m hoping to come back again and give them an update on how we are doing and progress I’ve made-I’ll keep all of you posted.

Gourmet Candy Buffets–what is the big deal?
For one, buffets are monstrously popular. The Knot recently voted candy buffets as one of the top trends for 2009. They are fun, interactive and engage guests more than just having the favor sitting on the table.
And two, while some are a feast for the eyes, others seem to fall short of the heights their planners must have hoped for.
So what’s the secret?
Here’s number one: buying enough candy. Sounds simplistic, but it’s key to having a great buffet. The first thing I tell brides — you really can’t do candy as a hard commodity. It’s more a decorative element. They’ll say, ‘I’m having 100 guests, and I want to give each guest 1/2 pound, so I guess I need so many pounds of candy. Sounds great, and it might be enough to actually satisfy your guests, but visually it won’t be enough to make a presence.
I tell my clients, instead of looking at candy by the numbers, take an aesthetic approach. You choose the flowers because they’re beautiful. The candy buffet should be too.
