Setting up a candy apple display
Presentation is key to creating an inviting atmosphere at your fall festival. Here’s how to set up a beautiful and interactive candy apple display.
Display:
Start by arranging your candy apples on a rustic wooden table or cart. Use tiered stands to create visual interest, and consider incorporating elements like hay bales, pumpkins, and autumn leaves to enhance the fall theme. Each apple will be individually wrapped in clear cellophane, but you can tie them each with a ribbon that matches your festival’s color scheme, making them easy for guests to grab and go.
Candy apple decoration stations:
Provide small bowls of toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, and mini chocolate chips, and encourage guests to roll their candy apples in their favorite toppings after removing the cellophane. This interactive element adds a fun twist and allows guests to customize their treats.
Serving suggestions:
To make the experience even more special, consider pairing your candy apples with warm, spiced cider or a hot chocolate station. These beverages complement the sweetness of the apples and add a cozy touch to your fall festival.
Setting up a cotton candy display:
Cotton candy is a must-have at any fall festival, and our cotton candy makes it easy to serve this treat without the hassle of running a cotton candy machine yourself. Here’s how to creatively incorporate pre-bought cotton candy into your event.
Creative display ideas:
Display your cotton candy in the clear bags they are packaged in and hang them from a “cotton candy tree” or string them along a clothesline for a whimsical effect. You can also set up a cart with baskets of cotton candy in various colors, allowing guests to choose their favorite. To match the fall theme, opt for cotton candy in seasonal colors like orange, purple, and yellow.
Cotton candy art:
For a unique and visually appealing touch, use the cotton candy to create edible art. Arrange the cotton candy in fun shapes like flowers, animals, or pumpkins, and display them on sticks or as centerpieces on tables. This not only adds a decorative element to your festival but also provides a talking point for guests as they admire the creative use of a classic treat.
Enhancing the fall festival atmosphere
To tie everything together, consider how you can enhance the overall atmosphere of your festival with complementary elements. For example, create cozy seating areas with hay bales and blankets where guests can enjoy their candy apples and cotton candy while listening to live music or watching a pumpkin carving demonstration. You could also set up photo booths with fall-themed backdrops, complete with props like scarecrows, oversized candy apples, and cotton candy clouds, giving guests the perfect opportunity to snap Instagram-worthy pictures.
