I couldn’t let today slip by without sharing something candy related… it’s Retro Candy Week after all! Hope you enjoy this adorable cake created by The Pastry Studio. Lollipops and gumballs make for one fabulous cake! It’s candy. It’s cake. And it’s eye candy for you!
Hope you have a good night and we’ll see you back in the morning for the big conclusion of Retro Candy Week! Any guesses on tomorrow’s featured candy?
I have officially declared this to be Retro Candy Week! I thought we’d continue on with some unique ways to include Rock Candy at your next event. It seems like rock candy has become a staple on so many dessert tables. Here are some creative ways to take Rock Candy to the next level!
Rock Candy Sticks are the focal point of this cake, created by
The Sweet Boutique. Not only is the cake a gorgeous display but it creates a lovely presentation when plated with a rock candy stick on the side. Filling glass apothecary jars or vases with rock candy sticks adds another visual element to the table, just like this one photographed by
Red Ribbon Studio. And tall glass candle holders filled with rock candy… LOVE it!
Crushed Rock Candy is the star of this lovely cake by
Cocoa & Fig. It’s simple yet whimsical and fun! I think this cake would be perfect for any playful theme. You could change out the color of the rock candy to something more subdued for a more elegant crystal-like look. Think clears and pale pinks or yellows.
Something similar to these Rock Candy Cupcakes by by Elisa Strauss of
Confetti Cakes. Crushed rock candy is dyed to the perfect shades of pink to create these shimmering beauties. (Learn how to make them
HERE). Serve them at a bridal shower with a cup of tea adorned with a rock candy stirrer, like this one by
Martha Stewart Weddings. What a lovely combination that would be!
Don’t you just want to create something sweet with Rock Candy now? Have any other creative Rock Candy Inspiration… be sure to share it with us below!

We had so much fun with the retro candy buttons yesterday, I thought we’d keep things going with more retro candy love. Today’s feature was created by Katelyn James Photography as a unique and whimsical setting for a photography workshop. Not only did it result in some stunning images but amazing party inspiration for us! The bright orange and turquoise really pop and the retro candy is overflowing with fun! Not to mention the incredible cake by Shyndigz. I have a feeling you’re going to love this Retro Candy Inspiration!
I just love this cake by
Shyndigz! It is a great mix of buttercream and fondant. The floral pattern floating up the front of the cake adds the right amount of color and detail without being too fussy or overpowering. The white butter cream dots add a nice textural element as well. Such a great design! Love the flirty cake pedestal as well!
Notice the Candy Buttons? What a fun and clever way to use them… as a napkin ring!
Whether it’s for a playful wedding or a child’s birthday, this party would have your guests leaving with a smile (and a nice sugar high!). Hope you enjoyed this Retro Candy Inspiration as much I did. Maybe this should become Retro Candy Week….!
