You might know Candace as the founder of the tremendously successful Sprinkles Cupcakes (now in over 24 locations!) or her TV appearances on shows like Cupcake Wars and Sugar Rush. She’s also helped me make her ultimate vanilla cupcakes and delicious gluten-free granola bars during my marathon training. I sat down with Candace in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago to talk food, family and sustainability on her podcast “Live to Eat.” She’s so much more than just the queen of cupcakes. She’s a dear friend and I loved our time chatting together. Let me know what you think! You can also listen to my episode on her podcast, Live to Eat, on Apple, Podbean or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Candace Nelson, the founder of Sprinkles cupcakes, is one of them, too: I’ve been a huge fan of hers ever since having my first fluffy, perfectly frosted cupcake several years ago, and now my kids can’t get enough of her cupcakes either. I had the opportunity to meet Candace when we were both in Sun Valley this summer, and she was gracious enough to come in the kitchen and show me a couple of her favorite recipes. This one is her signature vanilla cupcake, which is the exact recipe they serve at Sprinkles locations! These classic confections are perfect for kids’ birthday parties, bake sales, or wedding or baby showers—and guess what? The frosting isn’t as intimidating as it seems. Check out the video to see how the cupcakes are made, then let me know how your baking goes in the comments. Enjoy!
