Candy Vixen Candy Bar Buffets

Absolutely loved having Candy Vixen at our wedding June 6 at Country Garden Caterers.
We worked with Desiree the CEO and Founder of Candy Vixen. She is an absolute wonderful lady who really loves what she does and puts the customer first! Her and I exchanged a dozen emails before the wedding with last minute changes and ideas and she was more than willing to be flexible, which was so amazing!
Our colors were blush and gold, we had ANY candy that is basically out there at our wedding, we also had pop rocks and doughnuts!
I can’t wait to use this business again for any birthday, baby shower or family wedding recommendation.
We highly recommend Candy Vixen for any special ocassion as working with her and her team was effortless and perfectly done.
Lastly, her prices were highly reasonable and comparable to others as I did other research, but check out her instagram and you won’t regret it, the pictures speak for themselves!

Two words would best describe Candy Vixen… Incredible and Amazing!
I spoke with Desiree «The Founder of Candy Vixen» 2 weeks prior to my
Valentine’s Day Sunset Cruise. I told her what I wanted, and my guest count. She took my vision and ran with it…
She literally boarded the Yacht working, and her prices are SWEET just like her personality… My set up included… A beautiful blinged out LOVE Sign, Elegant sparkling BLING on the display stands, the scoopers and the floral vase. she provided Shimmering LINENS ! and Perfectly tied PINK RIBBONS… AND REAL FLOWERS… I REPEAT… «REAL FLOWERS»
My menu included some too pretty to eat Chocolate dipped strawberries, Shimmering Cake Pops, Dark Chocolate Brownies, And various candies «Based on my colors and my occasion theme» LOL! My guest were more impressed with the Candy Bar then the Yacht. They all stood in front of it to take pictures…
My display was quickly and neatly, set up and taken down. She was on the dock waiting to board and take down the display… Thank You Desiree, and «Daughter» for your hard work!!!
Desiree personality is sweet and humble. Her clientele is large. Prior to my event, Desiree had just finished working the GRAMMY AWARDS! She said «All of my clients are treated the same» and she know whats it like to have a budget, but wanting the BEST. Nothing is too small or too big. She gives 100%
I cant wait for my next party. I will 100% be calling Desiree… GIVE Candy Vixen a try! You will be 100% Satisfied! I Guarantee!!!
I’m very PICKY… LOL «with a Budget»

It was a pleasure working with Desiree! I didn’t have a specific design style in mind, just a general thematic scheme. I’m a huge Chicago Bears fan so my wedding colors reflected that. Desiree took my idea and turned it into a gorgeous sweets buffet! Needless to say Candy Vixen’s buffet was a hit! My hubby and I are still talking about how professional and creative Desiree and her team are; we can’t wait to hire her again! We highly recommend Candy Vixen!

I cannot say enough great things about Desiree and her candy bar! We hired the Candy Vixen to do our wedding’s candy bar and it was absolutely gorgeous! My beau is from New Orleans so we had a Parisian style wedding and Desiree decorated the candy bar with adorable Eiffel towers and other décor. The candy we picked was super popular but we ordered enough so we didn’t run out. Even if we did Desiree was thoughtful enough to make 2 candy cones filled with all the candy we asked for at the bar and left it on our sweetheart table. She really thought of everything! I will definitely be using her services again…

Umm, who doesn’t love A DESSERT BUFFET?
If I could redo one thing for my wedding, I would’ve ordered three times as many desserts from Desiree and Candy Vixen — THAT’S how much our guests enjoyed the cookies, cupcakes, and donuts! Literally everything was gone by the first hour, and many of our guests aren’t dessert fans!
Simply worth the splurge, because the buffet is so beautifully set up, and Desiree is so easy to work with via email.
We were a little sad when we walked to the tables and saw that everything was gone (SERIOUSLY!), and then we noticed that they’d left us a jar of cookies at our sweetheart table! So we were able to sample all the cookies, and THEY WERE EPIC DELICIOUS.
Any time I need a dessert or candy buffet/​bar for any sort of event, Candy Vixen will be at the top of my list.

Not just candy or cupcakes here! Candy Vixen has so many dessert options!
I communicated mainly with Desiree through email. Though her quote prices were at the higher end of my budget range, her desserts looked and sounded so enticing, that I decided to consider her as a vendor for my dessert table.
From her menu, I was mainly interested in mini donuts (though they are not the fried kind) as well as chocolate covered pretzels, cookies and popcorn. Aside from cupcakes and cake pops, her desserts also included goodies such as mini brownie bites, rocky road cups, chocolate dipped Oreos, candy apples and cotton candy tubs. Everything sounded so delightful, and I had not yet seen a dessert vendor with SO many goodies to offer!
Her popcorn flavors were a good variety, such as Milk & White Chocolate Drizzle, White Cheddar, Almond Caramel, Cinnamon Bun, Peanut Butter and Chocolate, and Jalapeño Cheddar among others!
I decided to ask for samples, and were pleased that they were free and could be delivered to your door. However, Desiree had mentioned that she could only provide samples of goods that were available, so unless someone ordered a popcorn buffet, I would not be able to sample it.
I had mentioned to her the goodies I preferred to try. She was going to have an event in PV so she provided me samples from the event that day. I found the box on my front porch.
Inside the sampler box were mini cupcakes, cake pops (without sticks) and some kind of (plain/​NY?) cheesecake.
I am not a big red velvet fan, and those were the cupcakes provided. My fiancé enjoyed it though. I found the cake pops soft and chocolatey, and the cheesecake not too sweet, but I would’ve picked another flavor.
If I wanted cupcakes or cake pops, I would consider Candy Vixen for my wedding, however, it was difficult for me to proceed with a vendor without having seen or tried the preferred goods. Because of this, I did not choose Candy Vixen as my dessert table vendor, but I would definitely consider them for other upcoming events!

I booked candy vixen for my company holiday party. From the beginning, she worked with my needs. The theme of my party was Old Hollywood. I knew I wanted a Candy Buffet, but didn’t know if I could fit it in the budget. Desire worked with my budget and totally exceeded my expectations! She was super friendly and she set up really fast! I absolutely loved how it turned out. The candy buffet was a big hit!

I got married on 11÷2÷13 at the Westin in South Coast Plaza and hired Candy Vixen b/​c I saw their work at my friend’s wedding and i’m glad I selected Candy Vixen as my candy vendor.
Desire was easy to work with, prompt with communications and did a fabulous job with my candy table at my wedding. She worked within my budget and made everything look fabulous!

Candy Vixen did an elegant and fun candy buffet for my wedding. It was exactly what my husband and I envisioned. Desire answered all my questions and was available with every contact. She was very easy to talk to and helped to meet our budget. I was a little nervous because I never met Desire in person. All of our communication was done via email or phone. And the payments could be made online via Paypal. When I saw the candy buffet before the ballroom opened on our wedding day, my nerves calmed and I couldn’t believe how awesome the table looked. The presentation and attention to detail was great. I loved all the «bling» and color that Desire chose for the décor. We loved the little signs. And we loved that we got our own «Bride and Groom» bags of candy filled with the candies we chose. The candy buffet was a hit and all the goodies were gone by the end of the night. Our candy buffet is pictured on Candy Vixen’s website — «Hilton Orange County/​Costa Mesa». She’s a candy ninja! Desire set up the table and cleaned up without us knowing she was there. I will definitely contact Candy Vixen for my next event. Thank you Desire!

Desire did an amazing job at my wedding. She was extremely professional and very easy to work with. Our interactions were mainly through email since I live out in the Midwest but she never missed a call.
Desire was referred to me by a potential florist I had received a quote for. She had me fill out a questionnaire so that she can get a better feel and understanding about what I wanted at my wedding. Right away she asked what my budget was and how many people I was expecting. As a bride, it was important for me to work with vendors who understood what I wanted and Desire really fulfilled that need. At last min, I had told her that my guest count grew and she immediately reacted to it. To be honest, I had no idea what to expect but I gave her my trust. And believe me when I say I am a very anal person. She worked with my coordinator and Desire arrived earlier than expected to set up. I love the fact that she was prepared. Though I never got a chance to meet Desire as I was too busy attending to my 400 plus guest list, I heard she managed the candy station throughout the night and left when my guests cleaned out the stash.
My guests were at awe at the candy presentation Desiree laid out. Desiree really created a masterpiece! The candy station looked way too beautiful to even touch. Everyone was taking pictures of it. She stuck with my color scheme and found candies that would complete it. The décor and the furnishings really left an elegant touch. I was completely satisfied with her work. If I have the chance to hire Desiree again, I totally would.
