Candy Draksler has over twenty years experience as a music teacher and performer. She is married with three children. Although Candy had a very successful career in teaching her passion was performing. As day cares and pre-schools sprang up around her she began to wonder if those little ones, who spent many hours away from mom and dad, could use a little song and laughter.
Starting with just a few day cares, Candy put an act together featuring songs and stories (original and traditional), borrowed one of her daughters teddy bears to break the ice with the shyer children and began entertaining. Soon word got out and CANDY & CUPCAKE began performing full time and now cover several states.
Over 4,000 children see CANDY & CUPCAKE each month at day cares, schools, malls, libraries, birthdays, fairs and festivals.
