New Designs

Day Dreams is coming up with new ways to bring candy & happiness to your events everyday. We recently began designing custom made center pieces and custom made candy cakes. The candy cake was a big hit at a recent event which was a 5th grade graduation/birthday combo party. The cake is not edible but everything else is! We had a fun time designing and the children had a great time pulling off all their favorite treats. We will now custom make candy cakes for your next event. The fun part is your child can pick the candy treats we incorporate into it. Email us to discuss theme and design and we will give you a quote. ~Have a sweet day ~

Summer memories and candy

With summer approaching I have been thinking a lot about what summer really means. As a child summer was so much more than just warm weather. Summer was magical! When that final school bell would ring on the last day of school the feeling was unbelievable. To me summer meant vacation & with vacation came all my favorite candy and treats. I am talking about freeze pops, rock candy, Lolly pops shaped like lobsters & fishes, candy necklace's and of course ice cream. My personal childhood favorite was bubble gum.

My family spent two weeks of the summer in Cape Cod, New Seabury to be exact.By day it would be the beach and by night my siblings & I would wonder the market place which was home to a fabulous candy store. Not just any old candy store but one of those good old fashion candy stores. The kind with penny candy, gigantic whirley pop displays and the smells of pure chocolate. I can still hear the screen door of the candy shop slamming as we would rush in to grab our buckets to be filled with whatever we desired.

It's so funny what memories can do. I can close my eyes and remember it just like it was yesterday. It is one of my favorite memories of childhood, family, fun and sweet treats. So I realize when I think about what summer means to me I think of being a kid in a candy store... literally and figuratively. It makes me look forward to summer events such as graduations, BBQ's and weddings.... I hope to bring that feeling to our clients. That is what a custom made candy buffet is all about: being a kid for a day, going back to those memories and most importantly keeping them alive.

Leighann @ Day Dreams Top 10 Favorite Candy Of All Time !

As an admitted candy lover and chocoholic I can say that coming up with a list of my top 10 favorite candies was no easy task. I could go on for hours on the topic of candy. Chocolate verse sweet & sour, gummy, chewy, white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate…did I mention I could go on and on. I put some thought into the list below & I am willing to bet you can pick out at least one of your favorites. Here they are:

10) The white chocolate reeces cup ~ the classic cup with a twist

09) Harbo Gummy Bears ~ they just make you feel happy

08) Swedish Fish ~ never a bad time to taste one

07) Hot Tomales ~ just the right amount of spice

06) Rollo’s ~ don’t you just wish they came in a bigger size

05) The Chunky Bar ~ they are hard to find these days but well worth looking for.

04) 100 Grand Bar ~ I was always overjoyed when a neighbor passed these out at Halloween. To me it was hitting the jackpot.

03) Hersheys Symphony Bar with Almonds & Toffee~ It melts in your mouth

02) Lindt Truffle ~ need I say more ! My personal favorite is the white chocolate.

And last but certainly not least…. Drum Roll Please………

01)The milk chocolate peanut butter cup from Yummies of Maine~ the best of the best. If you have never been to Yummies you must plan a trip. My fiancé once made the 2 hour trip just to buy some of these for me as a surprise. He sure knew the key to my heart.
