StartupNation Judges' Synopsis

The description Nina Rodecker provided that helped her attain 71,329 votes and earn her the winning position in the Highest Vote-Getters category is excerpted here:

Tasty Clouds Cotton Candy Company was inspired by one of those crazy "pregnancy cravings" ... I just had to have freshly made cotton candy. When I couldn't find anywhere in my area, I realized I might be on to something. I ordered the cart and supplies.

My husband came up with the business name, designed my website, business cards, and promotional flyers, and I started marketing my business both online and off. Exactly three weeks later, I had my first two events booked. The response Tasty Clouds has received has been nothing short of amazing.

People love the fact that we provide full service cotton candy catering and multiple flavors, traditional and organic. Chances are if you're being served freshly made cotton candy in Los Angeles, it's from Tasty Clouds Cotton Candy Company.
