About Bang Candy

Bang Candy, launched in 2010 by Sarah Southern, is a Nashville-based sugar-peddler specializing in whimsical confections. It is a magical indulgent place where candy lovers bare no shame. At Bang Candy, we use only the highest quality ingredients, our twisted imagination, and lots of whimsy to bring you the most delicious handmade creations from our confectionary lab here in Nashville! Over the years, Sarah has collaborated with numerous brands and industries in the Nashville community. One of the collaborations was with Hester & Cook, a Nashville based company in the wholesale gift business. Angie, Robbie, and Sarah all share a passion for creating elevated Products--whether it’s paper or candy! As a result, in April of 2023, Hester & Cook announced the acquisition Bang Candy. Angie and Robbie Cook, founders of Hester & Cook, are honored to carry on the legacy of this Nashville sweetheart brand. Sarah will continue to work closely with the Hester & Cook team to expand the Bang Candy line. You can expect great things from this new endeavor for Hester & Cook. Bang Candy will debut for wholesale at the summer market in Atlanta at AmericasMart in the Hester & Cook showroom located in Building 2, Floor 9, Showroom 903B-905 Read their story
