Monte Carlo Anyone?

We were hired to provide a candy buffet for fund raising event with a Monte Carlo theme. We started with their invitation graphics and built a custom display that was a huge hit with organizers and attendees alike. Labels, signage, goodies bags and personal touches, all The Sweetest Thing standard operating procedure. We loved that they gave us free rein and we think the end result speaks for itself...or The Sweetest Thing that is!

Absent But Busy......

We've been crazy busy over the past year. Lots of exciting new clients and experiences and pinch-me moments that kept us away from blogging. We will be sharing a few events here and we hope you like what you see as much as we liked doing them.

What Can The Sweetest Thing Do For You? (Part One)

Obviously we pride ourselves on our awesome candy buffets :)  We love the fact that we provide a unique service to the true candy lovers of Cincinnati. The big picture seers that want to offer their guests an added attraction. A sweet parting gift. A more memorable experience that is their special event. We say all this because this is what we do......but it doesn't stop there!

If a client says "I LOVE the idea of a candy buffet but I want to do something more for my guests" we brainstorm. We ask questions. And we dream up that something more.

This post is about ice cream. Specifically classy, over-the-top ice cream buffets! Hand packed premium ice cream flavors. A seemingly endless array of toppings. And the special touches that make The Sweetest Thing ice cream buffets what they are.

If you know us you know that we don't do "utilitarian" anything. Beautiful packaging is what sets us a part.

Guests pick their favorite base flavor and add their toppings of choice

Brand Yourself

A candy buffet is the ultimate way to expand your brand. From the candy colors (ribbon and linens too!) to the customized vessel labels. The Sweetest Thing takes the personalization of our buffets to a whole new level.

For example: We were hired to provide a small candy buffet for fashion show event last spring. The edict was pastel colors and simple elegance. We chose pastel kisses, strawberry gummi rings, two flavors of salt water taffy, marshmallow twists, bulls eyes, our cotton candy lollis and candy kabobs. We customized the vessel labels to tie-in with the fashion theme, our customized goody bag labels carried the clients business name and event date and the buffet sign was all about this one and only event.

There's cotton candy on a Sweetest Thing candy buffet and then there's cotton candy as photo shoot props. Are these images the sweetest thing or what?!

Cotton Candy Makes Everything Better

I'm not gonna lie.......my favorite business purchase so far has been our industrial cotton candy machine. Magical candy floss goodness at our finger tips!! JOY!!

Make no mistake, we are connoisseurs of the apothecary jar world and we collect spools of ribbon like some people collect loose change.....all in the name of sweet sweet business of course :)

The Sweetest Thing offers our cotton candy in a rainbow of colors and flavors and of course we have a blast with display options.

Candy.....Not Just For Kids

The Sweetest Thing has been fortunate enough to spread our message of "sweet bliss" to a vast array of gathering peoples. From weddings to bat/bar mitzvahs, baby showers, sweet 16 and corporate events. The one notable constant is that adults love candy as much as kids do! I can't say if it's the over-the-top display that catches their eye and pulls them in or if it's some long wished for childhood fed dream of Candyland come to life.  When we provide a candy buffet for an adult only event we are elated by the popularity of the goodies we offer.
