Blue sweets are the show-off of the pick 'n' mix - there’s literally nothing else on the table that pulls the eye quite like them. They're the colour of seaside holidays, snowy afternoons and starry skies, and nothing quite matches that sharp, sweet punch of blue raspberry. Whatever you're celebrating, a run of blue confectionery turns a plate of treats into a talking point.
So whether you're planning a beach party, an "it's a boy" reveal, a Frozen-themed birthday or a wedding's "something blue", here's our pick of the best blue sweets, plus how to style them so they really stand out.
Beach and Ocean Themed Birthday Parties
There’s a reason so many Brits travel abroad each year: for sun, sea, and sand. So, throwing a beach and ocean-themed party is the perfect way to lift those winter blues.
We have a range of sweets that set the right tone, including Vidal Blue Raspberry Dolphins, which are eye-catching and taste delicious. Appleton’s Gummy and Foam Blue Sharks and Vidal Baby Dolphins carry on the theme perfectly.
To add texture and visual interest, use Sour Spaghetti Laces to replicate seaweed, with Blue Raspberry Pips for small sea pebbles.
Gender Reveals and Baby Showers
Planning an “it’s a boy” celebration? Sweets are a great way to cement the occasion, and we have a range of blue options available. Top of your list should be Candy Realms Blue Dummies, which pretty much sum up why you’re celebrating in the first place!
But you’ll want some other sweets for versatility. Kingsway’s Blue Raspberry Bites have a soft texture, while Candycrave’s Fizzy Blue Jelly Babies are a great option for adding some fizz to the occasion.
“Something Blue” Moments
Bridal showers and engagement parties often incorporate blue items, and sweets are a great way to make sure everyone can join in. Share the love with Vidal Blue Shiny Filled Hearts and Appletons Fizzy Blue Hearts, which have a tangy taste.
We also have Heart-Shaped Lollipops and Bubblegum BonBons available. For those who prefer a creamier texture, Walker's Salted Caramel Toffees come in blue and brown wrappers to continue the theme.
Winter and Frozen-Themed Parties
For winter and Frozen movie-themed parties, create the right aesthetic with sugar-covered sweets for a frost-like look. Kingsway Blue Raspberry Twist Kisses can look like unique snowballs, while Igloo Blue Freeze-Dried Sweets can add some crunch to the table.
You can also use Westheads Blue Bubblegum Crystals to create a frozen-lake look that instantly grabs attention. And, to complete the winter look, we recommend some popular white sweets, including Mint Imperials and White Chocolate Snowies.
Space and Starry Night-Themed Parties
Unique shapes and stars are the heart of any space-themed celebration. Popular options include Candycrave Fizzy Blue Stars and Dolce Plus Blue Twist Stars, which create a galaxy effect.
You can also find Millions Bubblegum sweets, perfect for expanding the galaxy aesthetic.
General Parties
Whether you’re planning a general birthday party or a nostalgic celebration, you can find plenty of delicious blue sweets that have universal appeal. Explore Fizzy Bubblegum Bottles, Blue Raspberry Chewits, and Marshmallow Paint Balls.
Giant Blue Raspberry Wheel Lollipops are also excellent options, and Flying Saucers come in a range of colours - including blue.
How to Style Your Blue Candy Party Table
No matter which theme you choose, a few simple tips will enhance your display and help it stand out.
Blue tones can easily fade into the background, so we recommend using contrasting background colours where possible, including white, green, and black tables.
Store the sweets correctly, and allow around 100-150 grams of sweets per guest. Also label them so guests with dietary needs can tell which sweets are suitable for them.
And it’s always nice to give your guests the option to take some sweets home with them. Our wholesale blue candy bags add a special touch to the occasion, as each guest can fill a bag and take the sweets home.
