Cricket’s Candy Creations is an event organizer and candy craft kit seller where kids and families can make candy like candy sushi, chocolate crafts, edible slime, and paint with sweet finger paints. Leila “Cricket” Darya Azima got the idea during the COVID-19 pandemic when she saw children were bored and missing fun activities. She started teaching candy-making online, and after a good response, she opened a real candy-making space in New York City in 2021.
Cricket appeared on Shark Tank Season 16 to seek investment and expertise from the Sharks to expand her franchise model nationwide. Her business offers interactive candy-making workshops and sells candy craft kits for all ages, combining creativity and fun in a unique experience.
