Crazy Candy Lady to Make Academy Awards Appearance

MARBLEHEAD, MA - Marblehead’s Crazy Candy Lady will hit the red carpet at this year’s Academy Awards.

The local business was selected as one of 40 vendors from around the world to participate in the Celebrity Connected Gifting Party for nominees.

“This opportunity came out of nowhere. We received an unsolicited email from them and when we called to inquire, we were told The Celebrity Connected CEO individually picked us from seeing our logo and name on Facebook,” co-owner Beth Tauro told Patch. “He LOVED both and what we are doing on social media and with our store. He thought we would bring a unique energy to the event.”

Tauro opened the candy shop with her partner Craig Barker in September 2013.The pair also provide candy “experiences” such as sweet treat buffets for events. They are especially proud to carry Norman Love chocolates, which come from one of the top 10 chocolatiers in the country.

“We have customers who drive over two hours to buy these chocolates as we are the only retail partner in New England,” Tauro told Patch.

Tauro said they were excited to see the positive reactions they received from the community after they broke the news of their achievement.

“We received a lot of nice comments and people have stopped in the store to say congratulations,” she said.

The Crazy Candy Lady will appear at the Academy Awards gifting party on Feb 27, the day before The Academy Awards. The Crazy Candy Lady is located at 123 Pleasant St.
