Not just candy or cupcakes here! Candy Vixen has so many dessert options!…read more
I communicated mainly with Desiree through email. Though her quote prices were at the higher end of my budget range, her desserts looked and sounded so enticing, that I decided to consider her as a vendor for my dessert table.
From her menu, I was mainly interested in mini donuts (though they are not the fried kind) as well as chocolate covered pretzels, cookies and popcorn. Aside from cupcakes and cake pops, her desserts also included goodies such as mini brownie bites, rocky road cups, chocolate dipped Oreos, candy apples and cotton candy tubs. Everything sounded so delightful, and I had not yet seen a dessert vendor with SO many goodies to offer!
Her popcorn flavors were a good variety, such as Milk & White Chocolate Drizzle, White Cheddar, Almond Caramel, Cinnamon Bun, Peanut Butter and Chocolate, and Jalapeno Cheddar among others!
I decided to ask for samples, and were pleased that they were free and could be delivered to your door. However, Desiree had mentioned that she could only provide samples of goods that were available, so unless someone ordered a popcorn buffet, I would not be able to sample it.
I had mentioned to her the goodies I preferred to try. She was going to have an event in PV so she provided me samples from the event that day. I found the box on my front porch. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=iMnf6HB-Ye8xfbVDoKO8_Q&userid=M-Xtpt3o_tx-PPAX9DOSNw
Inside the sampler box were mini cupcakes, cake pops (without sticks) and some kind of (plain/NY?) cheesecake.

I am not a big red velvet fan, and those were the cupcakes provided. My fiancé enjoyed it though. I found the cake pops soft and chocolatey, and the cheesecake not too sweet, but I would've picked another flavor.
If I wanted cupcakes or cake pops, I would consider Candy Vixen for my wedding, however, it was difficult for me to proceed with a vendor without having seen or tried the preferred goods. Because of this, I did not choose Candy Vixen as my dessert table vendor, but I would definitely consider them for other upcoming events!
