Candace Nelson Life

Candace Nelson (born May 8, 1974) is a pastry chef and judge on the television show Cupcake Wars and Sugar Rush.

Early life

Nelson grew up in Indonesia. Baking is a favorite of her French-American grandmother, who was known for the desserts she created at her San Francisco restaurant in the 1930s. Nelson is a graduate of Groton School (class 1991), Wesleyan University (class of 1996), and Tante Marie's Professional Pastry Program in San Francisco. Nelson is the recipient of the Wesleyan Distinguished Alumnus Award.

Nelson and her partner, Charles (born 1969), a native of Oklahoma, worked as investment bankers before entering the bakery industry. Nelson, who was debating dot-com, decided to concentrate on pastry making and started a custom cake business from her San Francisco home. She and Charles' business later relocated to a Los Angeles historic old-fashioned sandwich shop, where they began making only cupcakes.

Personal life

Nelson lives in Los Angeles, California, and Sun Valley, Idaho. Elle Decor shared her Sun Valley home.
