sparQle Cloud is a Santa Cruz-based boutique cotton candy company serving sugar with style since 2015.
We specialize in elevated cotton candy experiences, handcrafted confections, personalized favors, and custom creations designed to bring a little extra magic to life's sweetest moments.
Think nostalgic sweetness with a modern, sophisticated twist.
If there's something to celebrate, we'd love to be part of it!
Our sweet experiences are perfect for weddings, bridal showers, birthdays, baby showers, corporate gatherings, brand activations, holiday parties, and private celebrations.
From intimate gatherings to larger events, we love bringing a little la dolce vita to every occasion.
We're proudly based in Santa Cruz, California, where coastal charm meets a little vintage glamour.
We primarily serve Santa Cruz County and surrounding communities, with travel opportunities available for select events throughout the greater Bay Area and Central Coast.
Additional travel or delivery fees may apply.
The sooner, the sweeter!
We recommend reaching out as early as possible, especially for weddings, weekends, holidays, and larger events.
For packaged cotton candy and custom favors, we recommend allowing at least two weeks whenever possible.
Have a last-minute celebration? Don't be shy! We may be able to accommodate expedited requests depending on inventory and availability.
Not at the moment!
sparQle Cloud operates as a boutique, inquiry-based business rather than a traditional retail shop. Our creations are thoughtfully prepared based on orders, event bookings, and availability, allowing us to focus on quality, customization, and all the little details that make each experience special.
But you can still find us out and about! We love popping up at local events, festivals, and markets throughout Santa Cruz County, bringing our signature sweetness directly to the community.
