By far still the best cake book!! |
With this in mind we wanted to share with you some great ideas for a lolly buffet with a difference.... without the lollies!
Nuts
Nuts can be a bit tricky due to the many allergies associated with them. At a kids party it might be best to avoid them but they can make a great addition to an adult lolly buffet (just make sure they are clearly marked with a label). There are some great suppliers in Perth such as Angry Almond which operates out of Station Street markets in Subiaco. Another online supplier based in South Australia is Charlesworth Nuts . Both have an excellent range at good prices. We find a mix of nuts (unsalted) in a large jar (such as the Iris jar) with a metal scoop works well.
Dried Fruit
Dried fruit makes a sweet addition to the healthy buffet. They create great colour making the buffet not only look but taste fantastic. Again both Angry Almond and Charlesworth Nuts have a great range as does Born Organic. Born Organic offers a range of organic foods at a range of suppliers across Perth.
Other Sweet... but not so sweet... treats

Some other great, healthy opportunities include popcorn- check out Cobbs Organic Popcorn which can be found in most local supermarkets. Popcorn is a big favourite for both kids and adults and this particular popcorn is totally amazing!! Carman's offer a great range of healthy treats- many of which are individually packaged which is good for thank you (lolly) bags. We love their range it is so delicious and sold in almost every big grocery store. Go Natural also offer a range of delicious treats including 'Frugos' yogurt covered fruit (so yummy!). Again these are available in most major stores such as Woolworths. On the topic of Woolworths they now offer quite a big range of organic, raw and other health foods. Some of our favourites are mentioned above but also check out the Wallaby Bites- they are delicious and gluten free! Lastly Anderson Cacao Creations and their range of organic chocolates. Based in Fremantle local chocolate makers- Karoline and Allan Werner's chocolate is 75 per cent chocolate and dairy free. Check out their website or head down to Freo to check them out.
