Table decoration for a candy bar. Crepe paper ribbon curtain garland with balloon garland

A candy bar (candy bar) can be organized anywhere: in an apartment on a coffee table by the window, on outdoor event in a tent specially set up for this purpose, on the street near the house. The main condition for this is a bright serving format: the candy-bar should catch the eye.

Buy or bake

There are no clear recommendations on this matter - put on the table what you want. This may also be purchased sweets, and homemade dishes. But products should not be perishable: for example, if the event takes place on a hot afternoon, then ice cream and a cake with a cream layer will be superfluous.

The traditional candy bar is:

• sweets: loose and chocolates in boxes;
• cookies and gingerbread;
• macarons;
• liquorice;
• marshmallow and marshmallow;
• muffins, cupcakes, muffins.

How to arrange

Sweets in the candy bar can be served as you like - on bright napkins, on disposable tableware, on traditional cake stands, in fruit bowls. Refuse conventions - take everything that is available on the farm:

• pour M&M's lollipops and dragees into ordinary 1, 2 and 3 liter jars;
• Serve cookies in a large round container (an aquarium shaped like a glass is suitable);
• pour multi-colored marmalades into a tall glass vase.

Try to use a tier system - then even on a small work surface of the candy bar you can place a lot of sweet treats.

What else…

Often, in addition to sweets, containers with lemonade and sweet compote are placed on the table. Show your imagination and make colorful water: raspberry and blueberry compote, lemonade based on lime and mint, chilled black tea. Not required to buy shop dyes- both in summer and winter, you can color the drink with natural ingredients.

And fruit - bring fruit! Children love oranges, bananas and apples. Buy a couple of mangoes, put pineapple and coconut in the center of the table - delight is guaranteed!

If funds allow, order a chocolate fountain for a candy bar (photo)

Warm chocolate flowing like a waterfall over a special container is stylish, unusual and tasty. Such a delicacy is not eaten with a spoon - fruits are dipped into a sweet liquid. To do this, place plastic cups with toothpicks or multi-colored skewers next to the fountain - let the guests prick slices of banana, cherries and strawberries, slices of oranges and apples.

If it is not possible to buy (or rent chocolate fountain), make fondue yourself: take a deep bowl or plate, arrange a stand, place a lit candle under the container, crumble pieces of dark chocolate into the bowl.

Simple and stylish - from improvised means: do-it-yourself candy bars for children

The birthday boy wished a bright holiday? No problem - create a candy bar for this day together with your child.

Boys will be delighted with the automotive theme:

• Bake gingerbread in the shape of cars. Cover them with multi-colored glaze, drawing windows and doors, car body, wheels.
• Hang garlands with paper vehicles strung on a rope over the table.
• It will not be superfluous to decorate a candy bar: “lay” an autobahn on the table. To do this, cut out the route from black (gray) cardboard, and make road markings from yellow (white) paper. And don’t forget about the traffic lights: fill a glass vase with balls of “sea pebbles” dragees or your favorite M&M’s: it’s important to keep the color balance – green candies first, then yellow ones, and red goodies at the top.

Girls will definitely want a party in the style of princesses or fairies:

• Try to complete the decor in one color scheme. It is better to give up white and pastel - choose rich colors (red, purple, hot pink).
• Print three-dimensional figures fairy-tale characters loved by all Barbie and funny ponies from the cartoons of the same name. An alternative option would be balls made in the form of all these heroes.
• Take care of the fairy wings for the little guests - they will become a bright decor for a photo shoot.
• To “fix” the spectacular result, do not forget to arrange the zones above the table - bright paper lanterns and helium balloons will help you with this.

Exquisite splendor: creating a candy bar for a wedding (photo-illustration)

Decorated in unusual form, candy bar will be an excellent photo area for guests. Therefore, without fail, put a large poster or a huge photo frame with thematic wedding inscriptions next to the sweets (the name of the bride and groom, the date of the wedding, the words about “tili-tili dough”, etc.).

Put the props for photographs on the candy bar in a special stand. You don’t have to buy them - you can do it yourself: stick a paper mustache, glasses and huge cardboard lips, a thick beard, a man’s bowler hat on long skewers (the so-called kebab sticks). Funny inscriptions cut out of colored paper should be fixed on sticks.

And don't forget the big colorful lollipops! Undoubtedly, few people will eat them (except for bored kids), but they will be a bright addition to funny pictures. Also, for the sake of beauty, you can put a bouquet of sweets in the center of the table: exquisite from Raffaello or vice versa - unusual from "Squirrels" and candies.

By the way, you don’t have to buy a cake stand for a candy bar - you can make it yourself. For this you will need:

• several plates of different sizes (it is not necessary to take porcelain - plastic disposable tableware is also suitable);
• glasses or paper cups;
• glue.

Glue a stand to the back of the plate - a glass, a candlestick, a cognac glass or a wine glass. If you chose paper cup, fill it with something (otherwise, under the weight of sweet dishes, the stand may break). And then, layer by layer, build a “plate tower”. The main thing at the same time - after adding the next "floor" check the structure for stability.

Borrow large wicker baskets and baskets from your grandmother in the village - they will also fit for decoration. And of course, do not forget about the straw - you will need a small amount of hay, but such a decorative element will be the central "character" of your candy bar.

• Does the celebration take place in the summer in the courtyard of a private house? Then make decor from improvised means - an old box, pallet boards. Place the box on its edge: place bottles with drinks inside, place containers with sweets at the top. And knock down a multi-tiered cake rack from pallets.

And don't forget the candles! They can be placed anywhere and in any way (the main thing is that the flame does not ignite the tablecloths and paper decorations at the candy bar). Candles can be placed on an inverted glass or inside a glass filled with coffee beans. Place the burning splendor in hanging glass lanterns specially purchased for this purpose.

• Parties are very popular right now. fruit style- for example, apple or orange (when the room is decorated with the decor of the corresponding color, fruits are sent as invitation cards to guests). If you are planning a party in this style, stock up on canvas bags - you can put the same apples or oranges in them.

• Macarons are the most delicate dessert that even looks appetizing. A pleasant pastel shade to the cream and dough is given by special dyes. Macaroons - variety french biscuits consisting of two layers and a filling.
• Themed sweets. If the specifics of the holiday allow, you can diversify the table with sweets of a certain ethnic group. For example, oriental sweets. But, this is not a very popular option for kids - it is rather for adults.

• Juices, fruit drinks, lemonade or compotes are a constant leader at a children's feast, especially with an extraordinary design (packaging). Cheap and delicious.
• Children under three years old - limit yourself to water. It is better if it is in sports-type bottles or with a nipple. Many kids have not yet had a chance to try the juice, besides, someone may have an allergy. Forget sugary fizzy drinks.
• Give up jugs until the child is twelve years old. Take care of separate cups (portions) for each guest. Alternatively, personalized bottles or jars with funny labels are sometimes created. Having tubes would be a good idea.
• Cocoa or tea is served at a certain time (once). It is worth paying attention to the fact that only an adult should distribute hot drinks. We'll have to make sure that the kids do not frolic with cups. After all, no one needs burns.
• A milkshake is also offered at designated times. The most delicious drink settles very quickly.

That is why the candy bar, decorated for the holiday with its own hands, as a tradition that came from European countries, has firmly established itself in our lives and has come to everyone's taste. After all, it is not only delicious, but also beautiful, and very stylish.

What is a candy bar

A candy bar is a type where the whole assortment is presented with sweets. It differs from the sweet table familiar to us since childhood, first of all, by the huge number of decorative ornaments on the chosen theme.

The second important distinguishing point is that each sweet on such a table is a separate work of art.

What holidays is a candy bar suitable for?

A do-it-yourself candy bar can be created absolutely for any holiday. The tradition at the end of the feast to treat guests with sweets is appropriate for any celebration. And if it is still beautifully designed, then the pleasure will also turn out twice as much.

An integral attribute of the candy bar will be at a children's party. And it doesn't matter that this is the very first birthday of a baby or a teenage party. The main thing here is to correctly determine the theme of the design. Although the anniversaries for the older generation have also never been spoiled by any sweets.

At the wedding, the candy bar will appeal to all guests. Such corners look especially delightful at a celebration designed in a certain style or color. Of course, all sweets are also made in the same color scheme.

Do not forget also about our favorite in Lately any themed parties. For example, pajama parties or on the theme of Halloween or any other holiday. Such a table can become the center of the whole decor.

Design rules

When creating a candy bar with your own hands, it is important to remember some generally accepted rules.

The first rule tells us that the entire table should be decorated in the same style, have its own idea and color scheme. It is very good if all this resonates with the theme or idea of ​​the holiday itself.

Rule number two. Calculate the number of sweets correctly. All guests should have enough of each treat for several times.

The third design rule calls for creating a highlight of the sweet table. There must be something that will distinguish your candy bar from everyone else. It will become your personal chip.

And finally, last but not least important rule. No need to chase expensive sweets and designer jewelry. Better apply own ideas. And then you can achieve the maximum effect at the lowest price.

What can be used for food

So, according to tradition, what can be placed in a candy bar? The center of the whole composition can be a cake. It is very good if it is original enough and fits into the theme of the holiday style. If the cake is not included in the party menu, then it will be successfully replaced by a large and beautiful vase with other goodies. Or even several tiered dishes. The main thing is that the accents are correctly placed.

All kinds of cupcakes are also great for treats. For example, small-sized muffins that contain a cream of different taste inside. They can be vanilla, milk, chocolate, fruit and many others. As for jewelry, there are no limits for the implementation of ideas.

Making a candy bar with your own hands is rarely complete without cake pops. They are small ones that are made in the form of a ball put on a stick. From above, they are abundantly poured with caramel or chocolate and rolled in various confectionery powders.

General background

The background for the sweet table is of great importance. He sets the whole theme and idea. Use fabric, balloons, banners, ribbons, decor made from paper. The main goal is to make your candy bar stand out from the general interior. Make it as visible as possible. You won't need a regular tablecloth here. It is better to use several fabric cuts that will help make the table more attractive and fit the theme.

Crockery and accessories

Various glass containers look best on a table with sweets, as well as vases on high legs and multi-level structures. But nothing will stop you from decorating the most ordinary jars with unusual stickers and ribbons and filling them with various goodies.

Use flower arrangements, figurines, postcards or flags with inscriptions, pictures on skewers or beads on threads in your design. All this looks very impressive. And besides, you can do it yourself.

Attractiveness and convenience for guests

Your candy bar should certainly be visible. If the event has a global scale, then it would be very appropriate to put signs with the inscription: "Candy bar" or "Sweet table". So each of the guests will know where the most delicious is located. All treats are served in small portions so that it is convenient to use them. There should be various devices for applying sweets, as well as napkins. On the edge of the table, it is customary to place bags or boxes for those who want to take sweets with them.
