So, who is this diva, who has suddenly appeared on the reality TV scene and started to make us crave some sweet candies? And what is “Candified” all about? Keep reading to find out.
Candy Queen Jackie Sorkin On Candified: Home for the Holidays
Candified: Home for the Holidays is a reality show in which Jackie Sorkin, aka the Candy Queen, and her team tries to build a full house made out of sweet candies. Every tiny bit of the house will be made out of candies. And it would take about 600 thousand sugar cubes and 96 thousand cupcakes.
The show premieres on the 1st of December. And it will have only four episodes but each episode will be packed with sugary deliciousness.
When an interviewer asked her why she wanted to build a full house made up of candies, Jackie said, “I think what we wanted to do was to create outrageous moments of joy. It does not have to make a lot of sense. It just has to be fun.”
How Much Is Candy Queen Jackie Sorkin Net Worth?
As of 2021, Jackie Sorkin has a net worth of over $2.5 million.
Jackie’s journey to Candified is also very interesting. When she was a very young girl, as far back as when she was seven, she wanted to be an entrepreneur and was obsessed with owning a business. Being a chef was not her goal back then but the food was still an important part of her life.
Food was a comfort but it was also a problem. Because she was quite a large-sized young woman. Later, Jackie went to a weight loss camp and met Flip Schulman, the owner of the camp. Flip went on to become her mentor and a guide.
Jackie worked hard and became a group leader. And later, she got the job of a camp director. She was only 20 at the time. However, by the time she had reached 25, she “got very sidetracked” from her job and she was kicked out.
After that, Jackie went on to become an event planner. And her event planning business led her to open Hollywood Candy Girls (now called the Candy Kingdom) in 2008. Currently, she is the CEO of Candy Kingdom, which is a million-dollar business.
Jackie’s company is a sweets shop, but it also provides catering and event production services. Its store is located in Orange County, California.
And soon after that, at around 2011, a call from Hollywood came. Jackie was cast for a TLC show called Candy Queen. The show was not a huge success but it had introduced her to Hollywood. And that eventually led to Candified: Home for the Holidays.
She has appeared in shows like The Kitchen, Chopped Junior, Sugar Rush, Unique Sweets, Cake Wars, and so on.
Jackie also has celebrity devotees like the Kardashians, Justin Biever, Steve Harvey, and many more.
