A candy buffet is a great way to treat your guests, while enjoying some delicious retro sweets and goodies! Lisa’s Candyland can make you a custom candy buffet to suit your chosen wedding theme or colours. My favourite has to be the Tiffany themed candy buffet you can see above! Check out my interview below with Lisa where she shares her favourite sweet choices and how she stumbled about starting her own business!<\/p>\n

1. Hi\u00a0Lisa,\u00a0candy\u00a0buffets have become huge in the last number of years. Why do you think wedding couples enjoy having them as part of their wedding?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel\u00a0everyone wants their\u00a0wedding wants to be different and give their family and friends a surprise they won\u2019t forget. With our\u00a0Candy\u00a0tables\u00a0and\u00a0Candycart\u00a0it is not just a sweet table, it becomes more of a centrepiece and decoration. Instead of having\u00a0one\u00a0chocolate on a table like a traditional\u00a0wedding favour<\/a>, it allows your guests go back to their childhood.<\/p>\n

2. Can wedding couples choose what retro sweets are included in their buffet?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh yes I provide a list of sweeties from fizzy jellies to hard-boiled sweets to chocolates. You can include sweets that your bridesmaids, flower girl, page boy or mother-in-law loves. We can always put personalised labels on our\u00a0candy\u00a0jars such as “Flower Girl Lilly\u2019s Favourite Marshmallows. Don’t Touch”<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0What is your favourite sweet that you carry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our favourite sweet that\u00a0Lisa\u2019s\u00a0Candyland\u00a0offers are our handmade lollipops that are exclusive to us, these can be custom coloured so they can match the bridesmaid’s colour,\u00a0and the flavour can be changed from peppermint to strawberry. Thy can be put on our\u00a0candy\u00a0cart\/table or used as wedding favours with custom labels with the bride and groom names on them. They are made with no preservatives or additives. We are proud to support Irish artisans who uphold the good old production values of putting excellent quality over maximum quantity.<\/p>\n

4. Can you design the\u00a0candy\u00a0buffet to tie in with a wedding theme?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh yes we try to make every details\u00a0to match the Wedding theme. From sweet choices, handmade lollipops,\u00a0tables cloths, table\u00a0skirts, labels, ribbons, and candy\u00a0bags. We would normally take a small sample of the material so we can match the\u00a0candy\u00a0table\/candy\u00a0cart. From themed to butterflies, roses or colours it is not a problem.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Where did the idea of starting a\u00a0candy\u00a0business come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It started off with my own wedding, where I did my first\u00a0candy\u00a0tables for my family over\u00a03 years ago. I made all the wedding party<\/a> come help decorate my sweet table at 2am in the morning\u00a0before my wedding day……..yes madness. Everyone loved it so before I knew it people was asking me to do birthday parties, weddings or christenings while I was still\u00a0college. As a business project in CIT\u00a0on my final year I said why not do this business idea, nothing related to Tourism…Ooops!<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0What has been your favourite wedding you have worked with?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really love the Tiffany\u00a0Candy\u00a0Buffet theme for a wedding. It can\u00a0be so elegant and luxurious, everything is matched and really\u00a0will WOW your guests. It\u2019s my\u00a0favourite as I love cupcakes too. We do mini cupcakes or normal size. The\u00a0Tiffany cupcakes are amazing\u00a0and even the hardboiled sweets are made tiffany colour for the wedding day. Which we only offer in this service.<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong>\u00a0What do you like to do in your spare time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the moment we are trying to make a new wedding candy cart and kids candy cart\u00a0for small parties like Communion\/ Confirmations that will be on display in Red Balloon in\u00a0Ballincollig. I have two little boys, one is four and other one 22 months old. So we are\u00a0normally at the park, Fota or going to see Wreck-It Ralph!<\/p>\n

8. If you could travel to anywhere in the world where would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would love to go to Tokyo, have you seen their street fashion .Then I would\u00a0eat in the Alice in Wonderland Restaurant “we’re all mad here”.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Lisa\u2019s\u00a0Candyland\u00a0was founded by\u00a0Lisa\u00a0Roche, after she created a\u00a0candy\u00a0buffet for her own wedding and discovered how much delight and excitement it caused. It quickly grew from a hobby into a business. She has a degree in business and tourism from CIT, but her true love is designing gorgeous and unforgettable sweets arrays that are as good to look at as they are to eat. They can set up in your home,venue or hotel wearing cute\u00a0Candy\u00a0Style Aprons. Let\u00a0Lisa\u2019s\u00a0Candyland\u00a0create an incredible edible prop unlike anything you\u2019ve ever seen!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A candy buffet is a great way to treat your guests, while enjoying some delicious retro sweets and goodies!
