Candied Apples are perfect for a Princess Party. They are just the right touch to add a little pizzazz to your Poisoned Apples.

How to make Snow White Poison Apples

One of the things I love about candied apples is the fun and creative ways they can be displayed. Why go with a boring old stick when you can jazz it up with an authentic looking twig or a fun color coordinating paper straw?

The paper straws are super cute, but unfortunately, they do not supply very much support. I found this easy trick for adding support to the straws without messing up the look of the straws.

Step 1:

Stick the straw into the apple, then take a lollipop stick and put a little hot glue on one end. Stick the lollipop stick inside the straw and press it all the way down into the straw.

Step 2:

Once the glue dries, you can cut the stick/straw combo to the desired height. Easy Peasy! Now that your apples are ready with straws, follow these simple instructions for dipping. Allow to dry and place in cupcake liners for an extra boost of cute!

One of the easiest and most effective ways to serve all those glorious party treats—whether you’ve baked them yourself or picked them up last minute—is to use themed party ware that ties your whole celebration together. Themed plates, napkins, cups, and dessert trays instantly elevate your presentation without requiring any additional work on your part. It’s honestly one of my favorite party-planning hacks, because it keeps everything looking coordinated and intentional, even if the food itself is super simple.

Using themed tableware is also incredibly budget friendly. Instead of needing elaborate decorations for every part of your table, your napkins, plates, and cups naturally extend your party theme across the entire space. Guests instantly notice the cohesive design, and it makes the whole celebration feel polished and pulled together. From adorable princess-themed plates to sparkly utensils and matching serving trays, these small touches make a huge difference.

Plus, kids LOVE themed table settings. There is something magical about picking up a plate that looks like it belongs in the enchanted world you’ve created. It enhances their experience and adds to the fun without requiring anything extra from you. If you’re looking for a must-buy item to streamline your setup while still making a big visual impact, themed party ware is absolutely the way to go. It’s simple, affordable, and makes your treats look even more amazing.
