Work out your budget<\/strong> &#8211; This is the best place to start because it effects everything else. \u00a0Think about the number of people you have coming and how much you can spend per head. \u00a0Just candy will generally be cheaper than candy and dessert, depending on the desserts that you choose. \u00a0 If you can cook your own desserts you can get a lot more for your money.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Containers for the Candy<\/strong> &#8211; This can easily break your budget so you will need some wisdom. \u00a0First thing to do is have a look in your cupboard and that of family and see what glass containers or vases you already have. \u00a0Next head to the second hand store and see what you can pick up. \u00a0In the candy buffet above all of the glass jars, glasses and containers, including the white tiles for dessert platters, were bought from a second hand store for $40. \u00a0Look for pairs of glasses or containers, a couple of taller containers and some feature pieces &#8211; preferably all in plain glass.<\/p>\n<p>The size and number of containers you need will depend on how many people you are catering for. \u00a0If you buy huge containers you will need to fill them to make it look good even though you might not need that much candy. \u00a0So figure out the volume of candy you need before you purchase containers (see further down in the post for help with this).<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5205\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-ideas-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"candy buffet ideas\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-ideas-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-ideas-300x402.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-ideas-550x736.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-ideas-60x80.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-ideas-400x535.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-ideas.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5204\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/diy-candy-buffet-ideas-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"diy-candy-buffet-ideas\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/diy-candy-buffet-ideas-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/diy-candy-buffet-ideas-300x402.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/diy-candy-buffet-ideas-550x736.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/diy-candy-buffet-ideas-60x80.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/diy-candy-buffet-ideas-400x535.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/diy-candy-buffet-ideas.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Platters for the desserts<\/strong> &#8211; Again check what you already have. \u00a0I used a pack of large white tiles for serving platters for the desserts in little plastic shot glasses.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0739-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"candy buffet ideas\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0739-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0739-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0739-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0739-60x80.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0739-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3073\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_1329-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"dessert buffet ideas diy\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_1329-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_1329-1024x764.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_1329-60x44.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_1329-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_1329-800x598.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_1329-1200x900-cropped.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"fn\">3.

The event was for desserts and coffee, there was only a very small selection of veggies and dips on another table. \u00a0The dessert bar was open for 3 hours and most people also took home a bag at the end. \u00a0There was approx 1\/3 of the lollies left over. \u00a0So people ate \/ took home an average of 130g (4.59 ounces) (4.5oz (127.57 grams)) of lollies each. \u00a0If you do not have desserts then expect them to eat a little more. \u00a0If you are serving mains as well, or the candy bar is not open for as long they may eat a little less. \u00a0Remember there is a limit as to how much candy you can eat before you start to feel sick, so don&#8217;t over-cater.<\/p>\n<p>If your candy bar is purely for people to take home a bag then the amount you need depends on bag size. \u00a0Fill one of your bags to the top and weigh it and multiply by the number of guests then add some extra so the last few people still have a choice of candy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Labels<\/strong>\u00a0are one of the small details that bring the table to life and make it look professional. \u00a0Make sure they go with you colour scheme. \u00a0Use ribbons to attach to the jars.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5206\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-labels-ideas-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"candy buffet labels\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-labels-ideas-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-labels-ideas-550x410.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-labels-ideas-60x44.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-labels-ideas-400x299.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/candy-buffet-labels-ideas.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/en.paperblog.com\/party-submission-by-chelle-s-lolly-buffets-156895\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/m5.paperblog.com\/i\/15\/156895\/party-submission-by-chelles-lolly-buffets-L-V4INZp.jpeg\" alt=\"candy buffet ideas labels l\" width=\"250px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>There are loads of websites with free downloadable candy buffet labels here&#8217;s a few to get you started, or you can make your own.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mygrafico.com\/freebies\/choco-printable-freebie\/prod_3714.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mygrafico.com\/images\/uploads\/_iha4_\/sdchocoprintable.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.hwtm.com\/2010\/09\/sparkly-pink-navy-candy-buffet\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn-blog.hwtm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/pinkweddingcandybuffet_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theweddingofmydreams.co.uk\/blog\/2012\/11\/candy_buffet_labes\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.theweddingofmydreams.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/candy-buffet-label-template-free-download-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>5. Fabrics &amp; Color scheme for the candy buffet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Choose a colour scheme that fits with your theme. \u00a0Just having the candy in the colours is usually not enough, you need to choose your table to match or cover the table in fabrics that work.<\/p>\n<p>You can use gift wrap that fits with your color scheme and cut it to fit the bottom of each platter, the top of each riser box and if you are having cupcakes cut it out to make cupcake wrappers. \u00a0This makes several of the things on the table match and has the effect of bringing the whole table together.<\/p>\n<p>Try to choose two or even three colours for your candy buffet. \u00a0If everything is one colour it tends to look a little drab. \u00a0For example if you want a yellow candy buffet choose yellow and white to give a fresh look, yellow with hints of orange and red for a warm autumn or yellow white and black for a more formal feel. \u00a0Pink works well with lime green and white. \u00a0Red looks amazing with aqua and chocolate brown.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of colour schemes that work:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.candybuffet.com.au\/candy-buffet-images.php?Vogue-Fashion-s-Night-Out-192\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-3714\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/teal-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"teal candy buffet\" width=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/teal-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/teal-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/teal-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">teal, white, cream and silver<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<td>\n<div style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.partyfavoritesblog.com\/storage\/candy_buffet_blue_white.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1281713145251\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">aqua blue, white and brown<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesweetestoccasion.com\/2011\/06\/yellow-toddler-birthday-party\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thesweetestoccasion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/yellow-and-white-third-birthday-party.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">bright yellows<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<td>\n<div style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/catchmyparty.com\/photos\/79898\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"blue candy buffet ideas\" src=\"http:\/\/photos.catchmyparty-cdn.com\/photos\/0007\/9902\/christmas5_standard.jpg\" alt=\"blue candy buffet ideas\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">red white and blue<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mitzvahmarket.com\/mitzvah-ideas\/misc\/mitzvah-inspire-hot-pink-and-orange\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"candy buffet ideas\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mitzvahmarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/evantine-10.jpg\" alt=\"candy buffet colours\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">orange and pink<\/p><\/div><\/td>\n<td>\n<div style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sugarcube.sydney.weddingcircle.com.au\/photos\/lemon_candy_buffet\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"il_fi\" style=\"padding-right: 8px;
