This book will make you want to eat a cupcake！ I have had cupcakes from Sprinkles and seen Cupcake Wars on the Food Network， but I never thought about how the business came to be。 In this book， the author shares how she and her husband quit their jobs in finance and started with one store in Beverly Hills。 Sprinkles quickly grew and there were bumps along the way。 The foray into ice cream was particularly interesting。 It was not an easy path。 Candace mixes in her experience starting the business This book will make you want to eat a cupcake！ I have had cupcakes from Sprinkles and seen Cupcake Wars on the Food Network， but I never thought about how the business came to be。 In this book， the author shares how she and her husband quit their jobs in finance and started with one store in Beverly Hills。 Sprinkles quickly grew and there were bumps along the way。 The foray into ice cream was particularly interesting。 It was not an easy path。 Candace mixes in her experience starting the business along with examples from other companies。 Each chapter ends with “Food for Thought” and there are graphics throughout。 A good read for business advice and how hard it is to build a business， even when you had some of the advantages that Candace had。 Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC。 。。。more

I really enjoyed this business book， it kept my attention more than most business books do。 I'm not sure if it is because of the cupcakes or not！ The steps and information were laid out in easy to follow steps， and interesting examples or anecdotes were included to explain why each step was important in your business evolution， and why it mattered。 Thank you Netgalley for the ARC！ I really enjoyed this business book， it kept my attention more than most business books do。 I'm not sure if it is because of the cupcakes or not！ The steps and information were laid out in easy to follow steps， and interesting examples or anecdotes were included to explain why each step was important in your business evolution， and why it mattered。 Thank you Netgalley for the ARC！ 。。。more
