NEVER wait on…
⏳ The “perfect” time or moment
⏳ Being *completely* ready
⏳ Or most importantly… other people’s approval!
When you wait on everyone else to approve of your ideas and get on board for your dreams, you’ll be waiting forever.
Instead, find reassurance in your belief in YOURSELF.
Strengthen the muscle of showing up and doing things that scare you. When you’re able to conquer your fear and the uncomfortable moments, you realize that you’re able to take on even more!
As a kid who grew up moving from city to city and even country to country (Fun fact: I was born in Jakarta, Indonesia!) I had to face scary, uncomfortable moments a lot. Looking back, this helped shape my self-confidence and ability to conquer the unknown.
What are you waiting for? 🤔 Tell me about your next big move!

💔 In shock and sorrow over the sudden loss of a local TV legend, gentleman, family man and friend whose infectious enthusiasm brightened every room. #SamRubin
From shared moments frosting cupcakes with his beautiful wife in my kitchen to countless @KTLA appearances, Sam Rubin’s kindness and generous spirit touched me deeply. We met almost two decades ago and instantly bonded over our shared love for cupcakes and his signature cupcake eating technique (swipe to see Sam demonstrate his “cupcake sandwich”).
Sending love and prayers to his wife, children and KTLA family. Heartbroken.

5 life lessons I’ve learned by 50 🧁👇🏻
Today marks a huge milestone birthday, and I thought I’d celebrate by sharing the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way with you. (And with a classic Sprinkles cupcake 😉)
✨ Trust your intuition.
We all have an inner voice that can guide us through life’s decisions – all we have to do is learn to listen. Listening to your gut, and acting upon that inner wisdom, is a skill that gets better with practice! The sooner you start trusting yourself and acting on that inner wisdom, the more confident you’ll become.
🤍 Surround yourself with supportive people.
This one is a biggie. If it weren’t for my husband Charles supporting my dreams and affirming my “crazy” ideas, I’m not sure I would’ve had the confidence to open Sprinkles. Later in life, I’ve also discovered the power of leaning on my female friendships, investing in like-minded entrepreneurs, and choosing the right people to partner with. (Like @danieleuditi in our @pizzana venture!)
🌎 Dream big, but start small.
I’ve always believed in taking action on your dreams. That said, I have learned that it never pays to be reckless. Rather than diving in headfirst, take smaller, more measured steps toward your goals to make sure you’re on the right path!
👀 Failure > regret.
The fear of failure has paralyzed me from taking action many times in life. But after facing that fear and doing it anyway, I realized this truth: I’d rather fall flat on my face than not try at all. Fail fast, take the lesson and keep going!
🤷🏼♀️ Mistakes are just a part of life.
Don’t allow mistakes to derail you on your journey. Mistakes are an inevitable part of life – whether as an entrepreneur, a partner, a parent, or simply as a human. The choice lies in whether you allow those mistakes to define you or use them to drive you!
I’ve shared my 5 biggest life lessons – now tell me yours! 🧁✨

Some say flossing is a habit you want to 𝓲𝓷𝓿𝓮𝓼𝓽 in 😉 Don’t miss the #SharkTank season finale this Friday at 8/7c with Guest Shark @candacenelson! @goflaus
✨ Pinch Me Moment! ✨
Two years ago, as I was launching my book “Sweet Success,” I had the amazing fortune of connecting with @scottmacgregor_official.
Scott instantly welcomed me into his remarkable @TheOutlierProject_official community who supported and cheered me on as if they were members of my book launch team! 👏🏻📖
Today, I’m honored to be featured in the first issue of Scott’s new Outlier Magazine which “celebrates the renegade souls who shatter the mold and color outside the lines.” Featuring bold individuals who are redefining what’s possible across every field. People like @heathermonahan @heylgo, @jasonredmanww, @brandichastain, @craig.levinson, @merrilhoge, @claudesilver, @hapklopp, @imanoubou and my friend @meganlreilly!
And now seeing myself light up Times Square? It’s a surreal experience. 🏙️✨
Congrats Scott on your launch of Outlier magazine! And a huge thank you for this unforgettable honor. The energy and support you give to everyone around you is truly special.

A slice of wisdom for you 🍕👇🏻
Test your product’s viability BEFORE you build an entire business around it.
Some entrepreneurs fall so blindly in love with their idea that they don’t do enough work to stress test it before they go all in…
It’s important to test your thesis before diving in headfirst! That way, you can make sure there’s truly a need in the market.
Not all ideas are worthy of lift-off, and once you start a company, it’s a longgg road – so be selective about the idea you decide to run with!
Some ideas to test your product before you launch 👇🏻
-Seed your product to a test group
-Put up a landing page to build a waitlist
-Presell your product
-Build a prototype
What’s your big idea? Have you tested it yet? 🤔
#entrepreneuradvice #sliceofwisdom #businesslessons #entrepreneurship #startingabusiness #candacenelson #sharktank #pizzana #startupadvice #womeneenterpreneur
And that’s on pursuing your passion 😌🍸
Our newest lineup of premium mocktails and low ABV “modtails” at @pizzana means I got to spend a little extra time at the office perfecting the recipes 🤌🏻
In moments like these, I sit back and wonder how my life may have turned out differently if I had never taken the risk to step outside of my comfort zone…
If you’re thinking about ditching the status quo and following your dreams, remember this:
Not every day will be sunshine and rainbows (or spritzes and espresso martinis😉), but when you choose to place your passion above the challenges, it makes the good moments that much sweeter.
What do you get to do now that you NEVER would’ve gotten to do if you didn’t chase your dream? 🤔👇🏻

Raising a slice to another year around the sun! I’m so grateful for my amazing Pizzana team and our wonderful community. Cheers to good times and great food! 🍕🎉
We’ll be giving away free Sprinkles Cupcakes for the first 50 guests dining in at each location tonight! See you there! 💕

@sharktankabc heads back to high school ⏮️📓🚌
Rendondo Union High School welcomed me, @kevinolearytv and @robertherjavec to speak to its students about our Shark Tank experiences, entrepreneurship, self-confidence and chasing your dreams.
I am fortunate to be able to speak to a broad range of professional organizations, trade associations, corporate audiences and colleges around the country. Getting a chance to inspire this auditorium of entrepreneurial high schoolers however, was a uniquely rewarding experience!
Where should we head next? 🦈😉
