“As you preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and prepare your recipe, remember that the convection fans of reality may blow your passion sideways as it rises. But as long as you keep your trays spinning, your dreams will bake to perfection, and you will reach your very own sweet success.” ~Candace Nelson, Sweet Success✨ . “Sometimes flying in the face of the status quo is inherently newsworthy.” ~Candace Nelson, Sweet Success✨ . Happy Pub Week to Sweet Success: A Simple Recipe to Turn your Passion into Profit by the incredible Candace Nelson, founder of Sprinkles Cupcakes!✨ . I am such a massive fan of Candace, and I loved this book so much! But if you take one thing away from this post, it’s this: if you have any interest in starting your own business, you NEED to read this book!✨ . I remember when I was at Disney Springs with my family this last summer, I saw the Sprinkles shop and told my husband, “Candace is such an inspiration for me, I wish I could pick her brain about her business journey.” So imagine by immense joy when I found out that she was releasing a book detailing that exact thing! And I am not lying when I say that I devoured this book almost as fast as I would devour a Sprinkles Cupcake.✨ . Candace fills this powerful book with personal experiences that remind you that she started out like so many of us: in her home and completely unsure of where this journey would take her. Her truthful narrative made everything she said feel so relatable, and her advice is tangible and acts as a true guidebook to starting a new business.✨ . I related to so many aspects of Candace’s journey. And as someone with Celiac Disease, it has been my mission to elevate gluten free pies into incredible tasting works of art. And being able to combine this passion with my love of reading has been the biggest dream come true!✨ . But I am also very much at the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey, and that is why I am so incredibly grateful to @candacenelson for sharing her wisdom with us! I know Sweet Success will be a reference I go back to again and again.✨ . @harpercollins #sweetsuccess #candacenelson #sprinklescupcakes #pieladybooks
