Hi, I’m Candice Rodriguez-Laboy.

I’m the owner of Candid Confections, but first, I’m a mom to 3 fun-loving, beautiful children and a spunky English Bulldog, and I’m a wife to my awesome husband. In addition to being mom 24/7 and juggling sports between my kids, I’m a full-time high school educator.

I’ve been a lifelong fan of art and food. When I was young, I aspired to be an interior designer and architect, always crafting, designing, and drawing any chance that I could. At the same time, I loved food. I vividly remember impatiently watching my family create foods from scratch, counting the seconds until I was able to take a bite. My love for art and food finally merged into a single dream when I took a cake decorating class and realized I could apply both. After developing a sensitivity to gluten, I learned to experiment with recipes so that I can still enjoy textures and great tastes while eating gluten free. This combination led to the founding of Dulce by Candi in 2012, which is now Candid Confections.
