Disrupting the Status Quo and Finding Sweet Success with Sprinkles Cupcakes Founder Candace Nelson

   by   SheSpeaksTeam    Nov 09, 2022

When you think of cupcakes, what comes to mind? Icing? A nice buttery flavor? Sprinkles? In this episode, Aliza speaks with Sprinkles Cupcakes Founder, Candace Nelson, to talk about the heart of entrepreneurship, seeking out stories of failure for inspiration, and creating the first cupcake ATM.  
Sometimes great ideas come from long discussions with multiple people in fancy rooms. Other times, those ideas come from a late night chat with a spouse when there aren't any cupcakes handy to curb a pregnancy craving. For Candace Nelson, this is how the cupcake ATM, and in turn, a new way to experience cupcakes was born. For the first time, she has written a book sharing her story of how she worked to find her own sweet success.
