I can buy candy - why shouldn't I just do-it-myself?
Because there is far more involved in assembling a candy buffet than you may first realize. You will need to buy candy in very large quantities - often at high retail prices. You will also have to purchase a variety of large glassware and scoops , easily spending $100+ on containers you will have no use for after the event. Then, you will have to make sure someone is available to set it up and tear it down for you. Additionally, you'll need to come up with labels or a candy menu and take-away bags or boxes to complete the display. Finally, some venues will not permit customer-provided food. Yes, anyone can throw candy in a jar. However, Miss Sprinkles creates a one of a kind candy buffet personalized for your event. Our buffets serve as an edible decoration and an unforgettable experience for your guests. And, best of all, you don't have to do a thing!
How much candy can I expect to receive per guest?
The standard serving-size is 1/4 lb per person. We will provide ample candy to allow your guests to enjoy the display. And remember - you get to keep the leftovers!
Can I consider this my favor to my guests?
Absolutely! Guests love a consumable favor, and this one is interactive. Not only will your guests enjoy selecting their favorites, they will have the opportunity to further mix and mingle with each other. They can enjoy some at the party, and then take some home for later. A perfect combination.
Can I provide some of my own candy?
No. For food service and sanitation reasons, we cannot allow you to supply any of your own candy. However, if there is a specific candy you want to include, please tell us, and we'll do our best to work it into the display for you!
Do you supply the table?
Unfortunately, no. We do require each client to supply a 6-8 foot table. We can provide a table for your event for $40.
Why is there a limit on how much chocolate I can select?
Because chocolate is more expensive, we limit its use in our buffets to keep the base serving price lower for you. Should you wish to have more chocolate - or even a buffet made up of only chocolate - we can do that. It will simply require a custom price quotation.
Can you do anything other than candy?
Definitely. We are happy to provide cake pops, decorative cookies, cupcakes, chocolate covered marshmallows, fortune cookies, and gourmet chocolate covered pretzels. There are many desserts we can make, just ask.
Can you do a Kosher buffet?
Absolutely. Many candies are available as certified Kosher, and we will be happy to build your display honoring that requirement. Call for an estimate.
Can you accommodate other dietary restrictions?
In many cases, yes. Please let us know your specific needs, and we will do our best to meet them! However, we do not recommend eating any candy products if you are allergic to nuts or other ingredients used in baking. While many products do not contain peanuts or peanut oils, we cannot guarantee that none of the other ingredients have come in contact with nuts or other ingredients that could cause an allergic reaction.
