40th Birthday Ideas

40th Birthday Ideas

Turning 40 is a big deal. Some people embrace this, others choose to ignore it. If you’re all about embracing this new chapter in your life and your plan is to host a party catering for all of your friends, a candy buffet is the ultimate 40th birthday idea. So if you are seeking something sweet for your birthday, but aspire to something more upmarket and memorable than a bowl of party mix and Twisties, then a 40th Birthday candy buffet is the perfect alternative. We can come to your home or venue, set up your birthday candy buffet in beautiful glass jars that match your party’s theme, style and colour. At the end of the night, we arrive and pack away the lolly bar.  If you’re holding a dinner, a cocktail party or a BBQ, it is the perfect option for dessert. For these kinds of functions, it’s best to concentrate on making the food and drink the main attraction, so what better way to do this than with a candy buffet!  The lolly bar can act as a gorgeous centrepiece to your event and can also be entirely personalised. Our candy buffets are high quality, creative and something a little more special than what you would normally have at your party. You want your 40th birthday to be remembered, so make sure you pay more attention to the food styling and presentation to make it feel more distinctive and unique. The best way to do this is to include a candy buffet.

What Our Happy 40th Birthday Clients Have Said

Thank you both so very very much for my awesome Candy Buffet on Friday night for my 40th birthday party! It was gorgeous!! Everyone that walked in the room couldn’t go past without a “Ohhhh” or an “Ahhhhh”. And when the Candy Buffet opened you could feel the mouth watering joy of our guests. The professionalism of your staff leading up to my event, and on the night, left me not only completely impressed with The Candy Buffet Company, but I was also made to feel special, and that to me was a winner. I love you guys.

The staff at The Candy Buffet Company were wonderful and easy to work with, making fantastic suggestions for my husband’s 40th. The variety of sweets covered all likes and the buffet display was classy and beautiful. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful alternative to a birthday cake and something with a big WOW factor to it!
