I {Heart} Candy.

So I recently made some custom hard candy bean bags for a client for their child's upcoming birthday party, and I thought it was such a fabulously fun theme that I'd share some inspiration with you! {Disclaimer: Kids will certainly leave on a sugar rush after a party like this, but come on...it IS for a special birthday that comes but just once a year, right??}

You can start by sending these beauties below out to all your party guests...

And let's not leave out these sugarmelts as a simply divine treat for your guests? (And p.s., they come gift-wrapped...nice bonus)...

$8.00 for 24 pink signature bonbons filled with cotton candy from sugar mohawk
