What is a Lolly Buffet?
A lolly buffet (also known as a candy bar, candy buffet, lolly bar or lolly table) is a collection of different sized and shaped glassware filled with anything sweet and colourful. It acts as a gorgeous decoration as well as a tasty indulgence. Lolly buffets can be used as a dessert, a snack station or as your bomboniere or thank you gift - or a combination of all three! Lolly buffets are extremely popular in the US and UK and are steadily becoming the latest addition to personal and corporate events here in Australia.
Can i individualise my Lolly Buffet?
Absolutely! Every SugarCube Lolly Buffet is designed with a specific event and purpose in mind. The size of the buffet, the types of lollies and sweets, the colour theme and style will all be individualised to suit you.
What sorts of lollies can i have?
We have a huge list of sweets for you to choose from. It includes brand named lollies such as Allens, Mars, Lindt, Cadburys and Trolli to more novel ideas. We have developed strong ties with local and national suppliers to ensure that we can provide you with all the sweets your heart desires! If you cannot see it on our list, we will try to source i for you.
Specialty items such as tasty cup cakes (mini and regular), biscuits/cookies, delightful macarons and gourmet sweets can also be added to your buffet.

No. SugarCube provides all of the glassware, the lollies, scoops and tongs, noodle boxes and even the table and linen (if required). We will provide "child-friendly" vessels if you are having a children's buffet so you do not have to worry about the dangers of glass. We will liase with your venue for you in order to organise all of the details - you just need to choose the style of buffet, colour and lollies and we will do the rest!
