Meet The Girls Behind It All
Hii!! We're Marisa & Felicia, the girls behind The Sugar Shop
Friends for 14 years, until Jan 2025 when our partners came to us with the idea of selling candy online. In Feb 2025 we officially became candy slinging experts! At first we were TERRIFIED. š Not only did we have no clue what we were getting ourselves into, but the thought of going live on TikTok in front of complete strangers had us sweating. What if nobody liked us? What if nobody showed up? What if we completely embarrassed ourselves? š
But we leaned on each other, took a deep breath, hit that āGo LIVEā button⦠and just went for it.
Our very first LIVE had about 15ā20 viewers, and if weāre being honest⦠about half of them were our family and friends. 𤣠For the first couple of weeks, weād celebrate every little milestoneā20 viewers, then 40 viewersāand every order felt like we had just won the lottery.
Shoutout to our family and friends, because by the end of those first few weeks, they were probably drowning in gummy candy. šš¬ Seriously, we donāt know how many bags of candy one household can eat, but they made sure to support our crazy little dream, and weāll never be able to thank them enough for believing in us from day one.
Little by little, our lives started growing. Twenty viewers turned into hundreds. Hundreds turned into thousands. Complete strangers became familiar faces, and familiar faces became part of our Sugar Shop family.
Now here we are⦠still packing every order by hand, still laughing through every LIVE, still taste-testing way more candy than we probably should (someone has to do quality control š¤), and still incredibly grateful every single day.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being here. Whether youāve been with us since our very first LIVE or you just found us today, youāre a part of this story now. We canāt wait to keep making sweet memories with all of you. š©·š©µš
