Welcome to the world of sweetness, where candy canes are the size of trees and colorful gumdrops brighten the stage for your next performance. Whether it’s a production of the popular Nutcracker ballet or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, sweets like lollipops, chocolate rivers, cakes, and gingerbread houses will play a prominent role in setting your stage.
Backdrops by Charles Stewart has dozens of candy-themed backdrops to help your musical, play, dance recital, or ballet come to life. Let’s explore some vibrant, fun candy and sweetness backdrops for your performance.
Candyland
This classic children’s board game features colorful stops along the path, including Gumdrop Mountains, Peppermint Forest, Licorice Castle, and the final destination, Candy Castle. Some locations on the board game, such as Chocolate Swamp or Molasses Swamp, are meant to slow players down from reaching the end of the game. Other parts of the game feature shortcuts that help players reach the finish line before their competitors, such as the Rainbow Trail.
This Candyland backdrop depicts a world with larger-than-life candy canes, a flowing chocolate river, lollipop bushes, and homes constructed out of candy, making it ideal for performances that center around candy or dance recitals with candy-themed music.
Gingerbread House
Whether your performance includes the fairytale story of Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm or the holiday favorite The Nutcracker Suite, showcasing a gingerbread house should be a prominent part of your setting.
This Gingerbread House Exterior Backdrop is an ideal scene-setter, depicting an edible gingerbread house decorated with candy canes, gumdrops, and peppermints.
Or your performance could use this Hansel & Gretel Gingerbread House Exterior Cut Backdrop that showcases a cottage in the deep forest with a cut doorway and window. The oven door is also open so that the witch can be pushed into the oven, as is common in the fairytale ending.
Palace of Sweets
The “Palace of Sweets” or “Kingdom of Sweets” is a setting in the ballet The Nutcracker, where the main character, Clara, arrives after traveling through the Land of Snow. It is often shown as a fantasy land with cakes, cupcakes, a multitude of candies, and sweets of all different colors and sizes.
