There were lots of mouth watering treats on display at the Top Hats & Tea Cups Wedding Fair on Sunday from Candy Buffets to cupcakes and beautiful stacked wedding cakes.

Bristol Candy Buffet, part of How 2 I Do Wedding & Event Planning had brought along a great selection of sweets from fudge to marshmallows, Haribo fruit sweets and giant chocolate jazzies. Candy Buffets are a huge new trend for weddings and one that is growing all of the time.

 Bristol Candy Buffet offer a range of packages to suit different wedding sizes and budgets, as well as offering candy centrepieces and swirly lollipop wedding favours, that can double as place settings with each guests name on a pretty label attached with a ribbon bow to match your theme.




Ice Maiden Cakes had brought a gorgeous selection of tiered cakes to display. Make sure to check out their website for some great pictures of their cakes and cupcakes. Their cocktail cupcakes were recently enjoyed by the cream of the wedding industry at the Wedding Ideas Magazine 100th Issue Party and went down a storm.

Cupcake Cabaret currently have a great offer where you can save 20% off any 2012 wedding cupcakes booked in January. Having tasted the deliciously moist cupcakes on several occasions, I can promise that they will taste just as good as they look.
