Of course! Jackie aka “The Candy Queen” is the mastermind of this cool new concept and loves to meet our guests. Her presence in the store depends on her schedule. We recommend following our social media pages for updates on any special activities and events where she will be available to connect in person.
So much good, fun stuff. Candy naturally. Basically, anything you can think of from gummies, chocolates, confections and more! You can also choose from a variety of candy-themed merchandise and apparel. We are a great place to buy birthday, bachelor/bachelorette, mitzvah, housewarming and more gifts that will bring joy to anyone who receives them. We also offer a variety of unique gift boxes, candy assortments, select party supplies and small balloon bouquets.
Our hope is to eventually have all of our goodies online available for pickup or shipment around the world, but we are working to make the in-store experience PERFECT before we do that. Right now, there are a few select items that you can buy online for gifts and parties at home. Sign up to receive email updates as we grow, and you’ll be the first to know as we expand our online selections. |

About Create@Candified:
Absolutely, while your kids enjoy our activities, you can browse our store or relax in our designated seating area if not already occupied.
Children aged 3-11 can participate in the Creation Stations as long as a parent or legal guardian (aged 18+) is with them and a liability waiver has been signed. Children 3-11 will be limited to certain Creation Station activities because younger children may be tempted to sample arts and crafts supplies. Children aged 12-17 can participate unaccompanied but must have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian prior to visiting (these can be filled out here) or at the store. |
Every candy artist who plans to participate must have a signed liability waiver specific to our Candified Inc. location. If the participant is under 18, the waiver MUST be sweetly signed by their parent or legal guardian.
Waivers for birthday parties and group events are valid for the specific day of the event; they are not stored in our system for future use. Once we receive a valid Candified waiver from a walk-in customer and we input it into our system, that participant won’t need to bring another waiver for a full, fun-filled year.
Hop over to our website to download the waiver or fill it out electronically. In case of any doubt, please bring a new waiver or give us a call ahead of time to check if your waiver is still good as gold.
Our activities typically last about an hour. However, some activities or workshops may run longer. The duration will be noted on the description of each activity.
Yes, we offer take-home kits so you can enjoy the Create@Candified experience at home. Inquire with one of our Team Members or Candyologists.
Children aged 3 and above are welcome to participate in most activities and those 3-11 must be accompanied by an adult. Certain activities or workshops may have different age requirements, which will be clearly stated in the description.
Creation Stations offer drop-in activities that can be completed in one visit, while workshops are more structured and may require more time to complete a project.
Absolutely, everyone is welcome to attend our workshops. Whether you’re alone or with a group, we’re sure you’ll have a great time.
Please check the Create@Candified section on our website for a full list of current activities.
Reservations are highly recommended to ensure we have a spot for you. However, walk-ins are welcome, subject to availability.
Our Creation Stations are DIY (do-it-yourself), but we’ll give you instructions on how everything works upon arrival. We have step-by-step guides of our most popular designs, and Team Members/Candyologists are always eager to share tips and tricks and answer questions. Even if you don’t fancy yourself a candy artist, it’s easier than you think to make beautiful, fun, cool looking Creations. We will be introducing Guided Workshops – that are up to 2 hours – later in the year. |
If you’re running late, we’ll do our best to accommodate you. However, if you miss your reservation, we’ll work with you to reschedule, based on availability.
You can! As long as it is not an edible item. T-shirts, hats, jeans, jackets, bags are fine. You will still be charged our base price for candification! |
Yes. We are currently only accepting reservations for up to 12 guests at any one booking, unless you book a Celebrate package.. That includes people who are creating. Unfortunately, we cannot accept ANY additional guests not accounted for in your reservation at this time.
No need to order in advance, you can let us know your order once you arrive.
If you have to cancel, we will charge only for the credit card processing fee and will refund the balance. When you do have to cancel, and aren’t able to reschedule, as a courtesy to other guests who might otherwise be turned away, we kindly request as much notice as possible.
We want you to have a great time CREATING, so we ask that the items that you create (with the exception of Candy Sushi, Candy Kebobs, Candy Cookie Pizzas and Geode Cookies – items intended to be created for consumption and noted as such) be created for aesthetic and display purposes only and not be consumed on or offsite.
About Catering & Private Events:
Absolutely, we work closely with you to customize your event, from the theme to the menu, to make it uniquely yours.
We cater events throughout Orange, LA, Riverside, San Diego and Ventura Counties. We’ll even do select events in Vegas, baby! Note depending on the location of the event, additional charges may apply.
