Melissa Gorga on the success of Let’s Sprinkle: “We’re growing”
Melissa also reflected on the rapid success of Let’s Sprinkle by MG, a dessert company inspired by one of her most iconic tiffs on RHONJ. The East Coast native launched the business in December 2024 with an initial offering of soft, baked-to-order sprinkle cookies. She has since expanded the company with a sour cream coffee cake, in-house coffee, and a range of branded merchandise.
“Never in my wildest dreams,” Melissa said about Let’s Sprinkle, which has reportedly raked in more than $1 million in revenue. “I knew it was going to take off, especially with the marketing I did for it and, you know, launching it during Christmastime. I knew that was gonna be the thing, right? And obviously, it went viral on TikTok and the whole thing… I cannot believe it, and we’re growing.”

Melissa also highlighted the brand’s colorful “Cup of Joe” coffee mug, its prepackaged vanilla almond coffee beans and grounds, as well as its newly released Christmas ornament that resembles its signature Rainbow Sprinkle Cookie.
The Jersey mom said she and her Let’s Sprinkles team are now looking into vegan and gluten-free options.
“We have a couple other things up our sleeve,” she said.
Melissa Gorga wants her daughter, Antonia, to join her company
Melissa previously told The Daily Dish that she wants Let’s Sprinkle to become a proper family business, as she remains hopeful her firstborn, Antonia Gorga, will want to join the company in some capacity.
“She watched me build that business in the month of December last year because she was home that whole month and it was like, full force,” she said about her 20-year-old daughter. “I’m not going to be one of those moms that’s like, ‘OK, she works for me, but she really doesn’t do anything.’ Like, no, you need to be an asset. Show me how you’re going to grow the company. What’s your part? How are you going to make Sprinkle bigger? If that’s what you want to do, then you have to give me your pitch.”
