Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan · Confidence Classic: Dream It, Bet On It, Build It with Candace Nelson, Founder of Sprinkles Cupcakes · 20 Jan 2026 podcast

We were backstage plating these cupcakes and all of a sudden Oprah shows up, the cupcakes come out, beautifully choreographed.

Everyone in the studio audience gets one.

And she basically says this love letter to Sprinkles Cupcakes and talks about how Barbra Streisand sent them to her.

All the Hollywood stars love them.

And Charles and I are back there like,

having an out-of-body experience.

And the producer, when we left, was very understated.

She was like, you might just want to be ready for a little uptick in demand.

And we're like, oh yeah, we got a new phone line.

We're ready.

No, we were not ready.

We were not ready.

There were for months lines wrapped around the block.

It was we were getting calls from around the world.

I mean, keep in mind, we had all of a sudden like exploded as a brand internationally.

We had one tiny bakery location.

So, you know, we couldn't necessarily capitalize on all of it, but it did light a fire under us to like get it together and start scaling that business as fast as we could.

Yeah, I think I was fully in alignment.

I was driven by this passion.
