Candace Nelson Instagram - Why marketing to WOMEN is so important ⬇️

Because women are the driving force behind brands’ success!

Did know women drive 70-80% of all consumer purchasing through buying power and influence? 💡

The economic power women hold in the U.S. and worldwide is often undervalued, not just by society, but by businesses themselves.

When you’re able to tap into what REALLY drives women to purchase and market directly to women (in a non-stereotypical way!) you are increasing your brand’s chances of success massively.

Here’s some ways to increase marketing appeal to women:

👉🏻 Leverage WOMEN! Diversity & inclusion is so important to brands because you’re able to listen to and value the perspectives of those you’re actually marketing to
👉🏻 Don’t buy into stereotypes. If you are marketing to women in a way that feels condescending, inauthentic, or out of touch, it won’t work.
👉🏻 Consider women in all purchasing decisions. Even if your product is meant for men, women still drive most household purchasing!
👉🏻 Recognize that all women aren’t the same. Women come in all different sizes, ages, races, backgrounds, careers and financial statuses, so you want to avoid viewing women too one-dimensionally.

What do you think? Should more businesses bring women onto their marketing teams to help appeal to women better? 🤔

Candace Nelson Instagram - Keep going… Your story isn’t complete yet! 💪

My world was shaken when I lost my first job. My financial stability and my “impressive” job were suddenly gone.

I never thought I’d be an entrepreneur, much less in the food industry. I took a leap of faith when I decided to pursue Sprinkles Cupcakes, and continued to take leap after leap after that.

25-year-old me would have never guessed the wild adventures ahead: founding @sprinklescupcakes, launching and growing @pizzana, and becoming a Guest Shark on @sharktankabc. But hey, I wouldn’t have it any other way 🙌🏻🍕🦈

👉🏻 Follow for more empowering entrepreneurship content! ✅

Candace Nelson Instagram - Here’s why branding your business is *crucial* to its success 👇🏻🧁

To create a truly memorable business, EVERY piece of your business needs to align with your brand and its message. 

For me, creating a unique identity around Sprinkles Cupcakes was just as important as the cupcakes themselves.

With branding, you can create a *feeling* around your product. An experience. A memory. A recognition of your product from just one glance.

From hand-frosting my cupcakes, to developing the iconic “modern dot”, to our minimalist store design, every detail was intentionally designed to make customers feel like their experience with Sprinkles Cupcakes was like no other.

So, how will YOU use branding to differentiate your business? ⬇️

Candace Nelson Instagram - It all makes sense now... 😅

To all women and girls with dreams - WE have the power of choice. Whether you want to be a CEO, a mom, neither, or both - you possess the power to listen to your inner voice and passions to choose what makes you feel fulfilled.

The problem is, society loves to tell us where we belong, and more importantly, where we don’t.

I’m here to tell you that you belong in ANY room that you want to be in. Though you may have to break through glass ceilings to get there, never let anyone tell you who or what you’re meant to be. 💪🏻

I’ve built multiple multi-million dollar companies. I’ve also built a family. I don’t say this to sell the dream of “having it all” - I say this to prove that life doesn’t need to be either/or for women, despite what the world tries to force us to believe.

I wasn’t forced or tricked into this life - I chose it! And we deserve for our personal choices to hold the same value as our male counterparts’ do. 

CONGRATULATIONS to all college grads 🎓 as well as the CEOs, the girls in STEM, the stay-at-home moms, the travelers, the teachers, the bakers and the women climbing up the corporate ladder.

You are capable of ANYTHING you set out to do, and you belong in the spaces you choose to be in. ❤️

Candace Nelson Instagram - HOW do you become a Guest Shark on Shark Tank? 🦈

Well, here’s exactly how it happened for me! 

Let this be your reminder that when you follow your passion, put in the work, and seize opportunities, your dreams can come true.

Thank you @sharktankabc!

Candace Nelson Instagram - Nobody believed in my idea...👇🏻
...but I followed my gut anyway. 🧁❤️

After getting laid off from investment banking, I re-evaluated my life and said “You know what? I’m going to go pursue my passion.”

Soon enough, I graduated from baking school and created the first-ever cupcakes-only bakery, Sprinkles Cupcakes. 🧁

Fast forward to Oprah’s shoutout—and Sprinkles *exploded.* Lines around the block, sold-out shelves, and a global brand. Over 200 million cupcakes sold, 20 stores, 30 cupcake ATMs, and 1,000 employees later, I exited in 2012 to explore new adventures.

Now, I’m a NYT & WSJ Bestselling author, a Guest Shark on Shark Tank, and the founder of @pizzana—all because I bet on myself. And I think it’s time that you bet on yourself too!

P.S. It’s week 1 of my personal branding challenge, Find Your Sweet Spot Online! Over the next 4 weeks, I’m sharing weekly content prompts and building an ambitious community to help kickstart your personal brand! 💖

This week’s challenge: Post a video sharing YOUR story. 📖👇🏻 Whether you’re a founder, a creator, or just starting out, tell (or show) us what got you to where you are today. 

👀 Don’t forget to use #SweetSpotChallenge so I can reshare your posts and cheer on our amazing community! 👏🏻🔥

Candace Nelson Instagram - Here’s the thing about rejection ⬇️

Your dream only stops when you do.

One of the best examples of persistence is the story of Melanie Perkins, Co-Founder and CEO of Canva.

Consider how many “no’s” it takes to discourage you from pursuing something you believe in.

Now, imagine facing 100 “no’s” - would your belief in your dream remain unshaken? 🤔

If you want to withstand the test of rejection in business (which, by the way, is inevitable!), you MUST have an unwavering belief in both your idea and your ability to bring it to life.

Thanks to Melanie’s tenacity, we all get to experience the brilliance of @canva! 👏🏻

Who else is inspired by this display of self-belief? ✋🏻⬇️

Candace Nelson Instagram - Cheers to (finally) taking time off 🥂

Charles took me to Mexico City to celebrate my birthday and I was blown away by its incredible taquerias, cantinas, markets, art museums, cathedrals, lush parks and walkable boulevards. 

As an entrepreneur and mom, it can be challenging to take a “true” vacation but whenever I can step away from my daily grind I always feel so much more inspired when I return. 

To all my entrepreneurs and people with big aspirations - when’s the last time you took some time off? 

Ps : I will post some specific CDMX recommendations on my stories soon!

Candace Nelson Instagram - Never underestimate me. 💁🏼‍♀️

In my early career, I faced challenges being taken seriously as a woman in the male-dominated investment banking world.

When I aimed to build an empire with Sprinkles Cupcakes, some dismissed my baking passion as just a cute hobby.

Now, as I transition from “cupcake lady” to entrepreneurship mentor, I’m breaking free from any limiting beliefs that try to confine me to one box.

Keep growing, evolving, and smashing expectations - you got this! 👏🏻

Candace Nelson Instagram - Problem solving is a MUST have skill for entrepreneurs.

Whether it’s a new restaurant or a new business, problems will ALWAYS arise. (Seasoned entrepreneurs aren’t exempt from this, either!)

Success doesn’t come from perfection - it comes from passion, messy action, and the dedication to figure it out.

We opened our @pizzana Marina del Rey location two months ago, and it didn’t come without its fair share of obstacles! However, we’ve still seen great success and lots of love from the community. 🍕

What’s the biggest obstacle you’ve problem solved recently? 🤔 Tell me in the comments!

Candace Nelson Instagram - ❤️‍🩹 My heart is heavy for our city - for so many friends who have lost their homes, for those who are unsure if their homes remain, and for the utter devastation to our community. I’m full of gratitude and in awe of our first responders. 🙏🏻 Thank you everyone who has expressed their concerns - My family and I are safe!

In times like these when we all feel helpless, lean into doing whatever you can. At @pizzana, we are going to donate profits from all LA stores on Saturday and Sunday to the @cafirefound. And there are so many amazing organizations that need funds - If you’d like to help, I’ve collected some donation links and aid resources in my bio. 🔗

Candace Nelson Instagram - 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!

Candace Nelson Instagram - ⏮️ Throwback to the solar eclipse of 2017 🌒

It was a perfect day in Sun Valley without a cloud in the sky, and we were lucky to be in the path of totality. I remember everything getting very quiet and cool - almost chilly - on this hot August day. It became progressively dark and as the sun slipped behind the moon entirely, a cheer erupted from a neighboring watch party, echoing across the valley. It was a magical and awe inspiring event. 

Who is excited to watch today? ✋🏻

Ps: why do eclipse glasses have to be so goofy looking?

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”).

Candace Nelson Instagram - My byline in Inc. magazine is officially out!

“How the Cupcake Queen Broke Free of Her Brand” - this story is about the evolution of my personal brand and how I struggled to reposition myself from “Mrs Sprinkles” to an entrepreneurial thought leader. 🧁➡️🦈

“In 2012, after nearly a decade of building Sprinkles, my husband and I sold a majority stake of the com­pany to a private equity firm. We were excited to pursue new opportunities, but while my husband quickly embraced the freedom of his new chapter, I faced a unique challenge with mine. The loyal audience I had cultivated was tightly linked to my identity as a baker and integral to my personal brand, and managing its expectations started to weigh heavily on me. I yearned to share my growing identity as an entrepreneur, to mentor other businesswomen, to be recognized as more than just Mrs. Sprinkles. But that was not what my followers had signed up for.”

I’m so excited to share this story of evolution and authenticity with you! On newsstands and online now. Thank you @incmagazine 🤩

Candace Nelson Instagram - Pizzana #7 is officially HERE 🍕🥂✨

I am beyond thrilled to bring Pizzana to Houston, Texas!

Houston, get ready for a fresh spin on classic Italian pizza with our Michelin-awarded Neo-Neapolitan pizza. 🍕

Opening up our 7th location is a milestone that took a lot of hard work and dedication behind the scenes...

I owe a big thank you to everyone who made our Houston launch happen, and thank you to everyone who supports @pizzana ❤️ I guess a baker CAN pivot to pizza! 😉

Where are my Houston-based pizza lovers? ✋🏻✋🏻

Candace Nelson Instagram - 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! 🧁✨

Candace Nelson Instagram - People mean well when they tell you a market is oversaturated... but here’s the truth. 👇🏻

Yes, some markets are extremely crowded. Retail. Fitness. Restaurants. 🍕

But I didn’t let that stop me from creating @pizzana, OR from opening 7 locations!

Instead, use the crowded market as motivation to STAND OUT. 🗣️

The best way to stand out? Be INNOVATIVE. 💡

You don’t need to reinvent the wheel, but you do need to put your own spin on it.

Candace Nelson Instagram - My business journey is far from linear...

Most successful entrepreneurs didn’t have a straight shot trajectory to arrive at where they are now!

If you’re not 100% clear on what you want to do with your life, or you’re contemplating a full 180 to pivot your career path, don’t worry. I’ve been there!

From investment banking to technology to baking, to creating a multi-million dollar business, to pivoting AGAIN to pizza, and now pursuing new passions like public speaking, writing and investing, I’ll be the first to say that you don’t have to have it all figured out.

What you DO have to get clear on in order to find success is...

- Your passion and purpose 
- Your unique competitive advantage
- A strong belief in yourself, even when others doubt you 

Who else has had a unique business journey? Share it with me in the comments! 👇🏻💖

Candace Nelson - 158.1K Likes - Why marketing to WOMEN is so important ⬇️

Because women are the driving force behind brands’ success!

Did know women drive 70-80% of all consumer purchasing through buying power and influence? 💡

The economic power women hold in the U.S. and worldwide is often undervalued, not just by society, but by businesses themselves.

When you’re able to tap into what REALLY drives women to purchase and market directly to women (in a non-stereotypical way!) you are increasing your brand’s chances of success massively.

Here’s some ways to increase marketing appeal to women:

👉🏻 Leverage WOMEN! Diversity & inclusion is so important to brands because you’re able to listen to and value the perspectives of those you’re actually marketing to
👉🏻 Don’t buy into stereotypes. If you are marketing to women in a way that feels condescending, inauthentic, or out of touch, it won’t work.
👉🏻 Consider women in all purchasing decisions. Even if your product is meant for men, women still drive most household purchasing!
👉🏻 Recognize that all women aren’t the same. Women come in all different sizes, ages, races, backgrounds, careers and financial statuses, so you want to avoid viewing women too one-dimensionally.

What do you think? Should more businesses bring women onto their marketing teams to help appeal to women better? 🤔

Caption : Why marketing to WOMEN is so important ⬇️ Because women are the driving force behind brands’ success! Did know women drive 70-80% of all consumer purchasing through buying power and influence? 💡 The economic power women hold in the U.S. and worldwide is often undervalued, not just by society, but by businesses themselves. When you’re able to tap into what REALLY drives women to purchase and market directly to women (in a non-stereotypical way!) you are increasing your brand’s chances of success massively. Here’s some ways to increase marketing appeal to women: 👉🏻 Leverage WOMEN! Diversity & inclusion is so important to brands because you’re able to listen to and value the perspectives of those you’re actually marketing to 👉🏻 Don’t buy into stereotypes. If you are marketing to women in a way that feels condescending, inauthentic, or out of touch, it won’t work. 👉🏻 Consider women in all purchasing decisions. Even if your product is meant for men, women still drive most household purchasing! 👉🏻 Recognize that all women aren’t the same. Women come in all different sizes, ages, races, backgrounds, careers and financial statuses, so you want to avoid viewing women too one-dimensionally. What do you think? Should more businesses bring women onto their marketing teams to help appeal to women better? 🤔 #womeninbusiness #womenentrepreneurs #sharktank #sharktankabc #abcsharktank #candacenelson #womeninbusinessclub #entrepreneurwomen #businesslessons #businessinspiration

Candace Nelson - 14.5K Likes - Keep going… Your story isn’t complete yet! 💪

My world was shaken when I lost my first job. My financial stability and my “impressive” job were suddenly gone.

I never thought I’d be an entrepreneur, much less in the food industry. I took a leap of faith when I decided to pursue Sprinkles Cupcakes, and continued to take leap after leap after that.

25-year-old me would have never guessed the wild adventures ahead: founding @sprinklescupcakes, launching and growing @pizzana, and becoming a Guest Shark on @sharktankabc. But hey, I wouldn’t have it any other way 🙌🏻🍕🦈

👉🏻 Follow for more empowering entrepreneurship content! ✅

Candace Nelson - 12K Likes - Here’s why branding your business is *crucial* to its success 👇🏻🧁

To create a truly memorable business, EVERY piece of your business needs to align with your brand and its message. 

For me, creating a unique identity around Sprinkles Cupcakes was just as important as the cupcakes themselves.

With branding, you can create a *feeling* around your product. An experience. A memory. A recognition of your product from just one glance.

From hand-frosting my cupcakes, to developing the iconic “modern dot”, to our minimalist store design, every detail was intentionally designed to make customers feel like their experience with Sprinkles Cupcakes was like no other.

So, how will YOU use branding to differentiate your business? ⬇️

Candace Nelson - 9.4K Likes - It all makes sense now... 😅

To all women and girls with dreams - WE have the power of choice. Whether you want to be a CEO, a mom, neither, or both - you possess the power to listen to your inner voice and passions to choose what makes you feel fulfilled.

The problem is, society loves to tell us where we belong, and more importantly, where we don’t.

I’m here to tell you that you belong in ANY room that you want to be in. Though you may have to break through glass ceilings to get there, never let anyone tell you who or what you’re meant to be. 💪🏻

I’ve built multiple multi-million dollar companies. I’ve also built a family. I don’t say this to sell the dream of “having it all” - I say this to prove that life doesn’t need to be either/or for women, despite what the world tries to force us to believe.

I wasn’t forced or tricked into this life - I chose it! And we deserve for our personal choices to hold the same value as our male counterparts’ do. 

CONGRATULATIONS to all college grads 🎓 as well as the CEOs, the girls in STEM, the stay-at-home moms, the travelers, the teachers, the bakers and the women climbing up the corporate ladder.

You are capable of ANYTHING you set out to do, and you belong in the spaces you choose to be in. ❤️

Candace Nelson - 4K Likes - Nobody believed in my idea...👇🏻
...but I followed my gut anyway. 🧁❤️

After getting laid off from investment banking, I re-evaluated my life and said “You know what? I’m going to go pursue my passion.”

Soon enough, I graduated from baking school and created the first-ever cupcakes-only bakery, Sprinkles Cupcakes. 🧁

Fast forward to Oprah’s shoutout—and Sprinkles *exploded.* Lines around the block, sold-out shelves, and a global brand. Over 200 million cupcakes sold, 20 stores, 30 cupcake ATMs, and 1,000 employees later, I exited in 2012 to explore new adventures.

Now, I’m a NYT & WSJ Bestselling author, a Guest Shark on Shark Tank, and the founder of @pizzana—all because I bet on myself. And I think it’s time that you bet on yourself too!

P.S. It’s week 1 of my personal branding challenge, Find Your Sweet Spot Online! Over the next 4 weeks, I’m sharing weekly content prompts and building an ambitious community to help kickstart your personal brand! 💖

This week’s challenge: Post a video sharing YOUR story. 📖👇🏻 Whether you’re a founder, a creator, or just starting out, tell (or show) us what got you to where you are today. 

👀 Don’t forget to use #SweetSpotChallenge so I can reshare your posts and cheer on our amazing community! 👏🏻🔥

Candace Nelson - 3.6K Likes - Here’s the thing about rejection ⬇️

Your dream only stops when you do.

One of the best examples of persistence is the story of Melanie Perkins, Co-Founder and CEO of Canva.

Consider how many “no’s” it takes to discourage you from pursuing something you believe in.

Now, imagine facing 100 “no’s” - would your belief in your dream remain unshaken? 🤔

If you want to withstand the test of rejection in business (which, by the way, is inevitable!), you MUST have an unwavering belief in both your idea and your ability to bring it to life.

Thanks to Melanie’s tenacity, we all get to experience the brilliance of @canva! 👏🏻

Who else is inspired by this display of self-belief? ✋🏻⬇️

Candace Nelson - 3.5K Likes - Cheers to (finally) taking time off 🥂

Charles took me to Mexico City to celebrate my birthday and I was blown away by its incredible taquerias, cantinas, markets, art museums, cathedrals, lush parks and walkable boulevards. 

As an entrepreneur and mom, it can be challenging to take a “true” vacation but whenever I can step away from my daily grind I always feel so much more inspired when I return. 

To all my entrepreneurs and people with big aspirations - when’s the last time you took some time off? 

Ps : I will post some specific CDMX recommendations on my stories soon!

Candace Nelson - 2.1K Likes - Never underestimate me. 💁🏼‍♀️

In my early career, I faced challenges being taken seriously as a woman in the male-dominated investment banking world.

When I aimed to build an empire with Sprinkles Cupcakes, some dismissed my baking passion as just a cute hobby.

Now, as I transition from “cupcake lady” to entrepreneurship mentor, I’m breaking free from any limiting beliefs that try to confine me to one box.

Keep growing, evolving, and smashing expectations - you got this! 👏🏻

Candace Nelson - 1.8K Likes - Problem solving is a MUST have skill for entrepreneurs.

Whether it’s a new restaurant or a new business, problems will ALWAYS arise. (Seasoned entrepreneurs aren’t exempt from this, either!)

Success doesn’t come from perfection - it comes from passion, messy action, and the dedication to figure it out.

We opened our @pizzana Marina del Rey location two months ago, and it didn’t come without its fair share of obstacles! However, we’ve still seen great success and lots of love from the community. 🍕

What’s the biggest obstacle you’ve problem solved recently? 🤔 Tell me in the comments!

Candace Nelson - 1.7K Likes - ❤️‍🩹 My heart is heavy for our city - for so many friends who have lost their homes, for those who are unsure if their homes remain, and for the utter devastation to our community. I’m full of gratitude and in awe of our first responders. 🙏🏻 Thank you everyone who has expressed their concerns - My family and I are safe!

In times like these when we all feel helpless, lean into doing whatever you can. At @pizzana, we are going to donate profits from all LA stores on Saturday and Sunday to the @cafirefound. And there are so many amazing organizations that need funds - If you’d like to help, I’ve collected some donation links and aid resources in my bio. 🔗

Candace Nelson - 1.5K Likes - 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!

Candace Nelson - 1.4K Likes - ⏮️ Throwback to the solar eclipse of 2017 🌒

It was a perfect day in Sun Valley without a cloud in the sky, and we were lucky to be in the path of totality. I remember everything getting very quiet and cool - almost chilly - on this hot August day. It became progressively dark and as the sun slipped behind the moon entirely, a cheer erupted from a neighboring watch party, echoing across the valley. It was a magical and awe inspiring event. 

Who is excited to watch today? ✋🏻

Ps: why do eclipse glasses have to be so goofy looking?

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. @samontv @ktla5news

“How the Cupcake Queen Broke Free of Her Brand” - this story is about the evolution of my personal brand and how I struggled to reposition myself from “Mrs Sprinkles” to an entrepreneurial thought leader. 🧁➡️🦈

“In 2012, after nearly a decade of building Sprinkles, my husband and I sold a majority stake of the com­pany to a private equity firm. We were excited to pursue new opportunities, but while my husband quickly embraced the freedom of his new chapter, I faced a unique challenge with mine. The loyal audience I had cultivated was tightly linked to my identity as a baker and integral to my personal brand, and managing its expectations started to weigh heavily on me. I yearned to share my growing identity as an entrepreneur, to mentor other businesswomen, to be recognized as more than just Mrs. Sprinkles. But that was not what my followers had signed up for.”

I’m so excited to share this story of evolution and authenticity with you! On newsstands and online now. Thank you @incmagazine 🤩

I am beyond thrilled to bring Pizzana to Houston, Texas!

Houston, get ready for a fresh spin on classic Italian pizza with our Michelin-awarded Neo-Neapolitan pizza. 🍕

Opening up our 7th location is a milestone that took a lot of hard work and dedication behind the scenes...

I owe a big thank you to everyone who made our Houston launch happen, and thank you to everyone who supports @pizzana ❤️ I guess a baker CAN pivot to pizza! 😉

Where are my Houston-based pizza lovers? ✋🏻✋🏻

Candace Nelson - 1.1K Likes - 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! 🧁✨

Candace Nelson - 1K Likes - People mean well when they tell you a market is oversaturated... but here’s the truth. 👇🏻

Yes, some markets are extremely crowded. Retail. Fitness. Restaurants. 🍕

But I didn’t let that stop me from creating @pizzana, OR from opening 7 locations!

Instead, use the crowded market as motivation to STAND OUT. 🗣️

The best way to stand out? Be INNOVATIVE. 💡

You don’t need to reinvent the wheel, but you do need to put your own spin on it.

Candace Nelson - 0.9K Likes - Last week, I had the honor of being a keynote speaker for the UCLA Anderson School of Management Velocity Women’s Leadership Summit.

It was truly a celebration of the power and impact of women ❤️ 

I loved connecting with so many business school students, many of whom are already building companies!

Women are the future! 💪🏻 Thank you @uclaanderson

Candace Nelson - 878 Likes - My business journey is far from linear...

Most successful entrepreneurs didn’t have a straight shot trajectory to arrive at where they are now!

If you’re not 100% clear on what you want to do with your life, or you’re contemplating a full 180 to pivot your career path, don’t worry. I’ve been there!

From investment banking to technology to baking, to creating a multi-million dollar business, to pivoting AGAIN to pizza, and now pursuing new passions like public speaking, writing and investing, I’ll be the first to say that you don’t have to have it all figured out.

What you DO have to get clear on in order to find success is...

- Your passion and purpose 
- Your unique competitive advantage
- A strong belief in yourself, even when others doubt you 

Who else has had a unique business journey? Share it with me in the comments! 👇🏻💖

From investment banking to technology to baking, to creating a multi-million dollar business, to pivoting AGAIN to pizza, and now pursuing new passions like public speaking, writing and investing, I’ll be the first to say that you don’t have to have it all figured out. What you DO have to get clear on in order to find success is… – Your passion and purpose – Your unique competitive advantage – A strong belief in yourself, even when others doubt you Who else has had a unique business journey?
