I love all of the retro candy dessert tables we’re seeing lately. Today I thought we’d focus in on one particular childhood favorite, Candy Buttons. Remember those? A paper strip full of little dots of sweetness. The bright colors are perfect for spring and summer and would add a whimsical touch to any party. Whether you roll up them up, throw them in a glass bowl or put them on a cake, Candy Buttons are just plain fun! Here are some charming ways to add Candy Buttons to your next party.
However you do it, Candy Buttons will add a playful retro vibe to your party! Have any other suggestions on how to showcase Candy Buttons? We’d love to hear them!

What fun ideas! Candy dots make people so happy! Love the cake, but I really like the cupcakes because that’s something I could actually do. 🙂

the retro candy button cake is adorable…couple years ago I made a wedding cake with black dots on it (I’m sure you know how hard it is to get real black royal icing, so I used the candy buttons painted with black icing color and let them dry…I glued them with white royal icing and it turned out beautiful…I’m a hobby cake decorator, mostly friends & family, for over 20yrs…mostly self taught…dont know how other colors would work but the black was a true black and the buttons are mostly uniform in size…keep on baking

I discovered GIANT candy buttons at Cracker Barrel…they are perfect for a splash of color on top of a cupcake! (And Cracker Barrel is a perfect place for finding retro candy by the way)…*wink*
