Offer Your Guests A Candy Apple Station At Your Event
Regardless of what food you serve for the main course at your catered event, you can expect that your guests will be excited to see what's for dessert. While there are a lot of options that your event catering service can suggest for you, one idea to consider is candy apples. This can especially be a good choice during the fall, when apples from a local orchard are in season. Instead of just having a platter of candy apples available, a fun idea is to have your caterer put together a candy apple station at which your guests can make their own creations. Here are some ideas for this station.
Apple Options
Your catering professional can have a variety of apples available for people to use. You can expect that your guests will have preferences about what apples they like best, so a selection of options can be a good choice. You may also want to have your caterer provide apples that are sliced in half or in quarters, as this can be an option for those who want to make their own candy apple but only want a small serving size. Handwritten labels that identify each of the apple varieties and specify how they taste — for example, sweet or tart — can also be useful.
Dipping Options
Your caterer can provide a selection of options into which your guests can dip their apples. Liquid candy is a popular choice, but don't overlook other options. Many people favor caramel apples to candy apples, so a container of hot caramel will appeal to a lot of your guests. You may also ask your caterer to have chocolate available. Milk chocolate and white chocolate can both go well with apples, and some guests will favor these options over candy or caramel. Having multiple dipping stations will be important for allowing large groups of guests to make their apples at the same time.
Topping Options
After each guest has dipped their apple into their dip of choice, they can think about what toppings they want. While some people may favor plain candy or caramel apples, others will want to sprinkle different treats onto their dessert. Having a large selection of topping options will be exciting. Nuts, candy sprinkles, chocolate chips, and other similar toppings can be useful in this application. A candy apple station can be a good choice for events with children, including birthday parties, family reunions, and more.
