Birthday Time!

Summer is a big birthday time for Day Dreams! Both LeighAnn and I celebrate in the summer months. As my birthday approaches, I am filled with visions of my favorite birthday treats: Carvel Ice Cream Cakes (a childhood favorite), Pull and Peel Twizzlers, and Sweedish Fish all come sweetly to my mind. I am also reminded of a birthday party that I attended at a very young age. It was for a friend who lived up the street. I always got super excited and somewhat nervous for birthday parties. I loved all the silly games-the dance parties, and of course watching my friends open their presents. This party was extra special. We played a guessing game that I will never forget. We had to guess the number of jelly beans in a large canister. The winner got to keep the entire canister of jelly beans! I was only 3 numbers off! I guess I had a knack for this candy thing even way back then! You can imagine my delight as I brought this giant canister of jelly beans home to my many candy loving siblings! What a birthday! I will never forget it. Happy Birthday month to my favorite partner! Here's to the SWEETEST year yet.

Summer Check In


Summer is flying by and here at Day Dreams we are doing well. We have had the chance to do some fun custom themed buffets over the past couple of months. From tropical to black and white they all came out great. My personal favorite was a rock and roll princess themed table set up for a little girl birthday. It was so much fun to imagine everything I would have wanted as a child and bring it to life. Pink feathered custom made cups filled with cotton candy,a colorful unicorn pop center piece complete with a wand and of course candy lipstick. It has been so much fun creating memories for clients by reliving my own. Every color scheme we work with seems to be even more cute than the next.It has been great experience and I am very thankful to all those who have trusted us to make their important events extra sweet. Although I don't want summer to end just yet I am looking forward to some upcoming late summer/fall events including my very own wedding. A candy queens wedding candy buffet will have to be spectacular! So enjoy the rest of summer and please check back this fall for a glance at my special day.
