Isn’t that amazing? My best friend has now arrived home from her trip and she treated me to some cupcakes and pretty things for my birthday and cooked me dinner! All the cupcake photos are taken with her huge digital SLR (jealous!).

This means my birthday wishlist has almost been fulfilled! I got cupcakes, a road trip, pink pretty stuff, I finally got my hair cut and I ordered a new computer on Monday! Yay. I’m so excited about my new computer! It’s going to be flamingo pink :D

Along with the beautiful cupcakes she got me some earrings; 2 cupcake pairs, a lollipop pair and a pink pair. And to match my bag perfectly she got me some bright pink socks with skulls on them and some bright pink undies (hehe) with skulls on them, she said when she saw them she new they’d be perfect. That was even before I got the bag!

I stumbled across Johnny Cupcakes while searching for cupcake garb and quietly squealed.

Johnny’s logo design is exactly what I envisioned for Cupcakes and Mace. I had an idea of a cupcake and crossbones logo and that’s exactly what Johnny has done! Although, many years before me.

This guy has become one of my biggest heroes. Reading the story of Johnny Cupcakes made me beam.

The idea is a simple one. Create cool original stuff in limited runs and people will scramble to get them. In reality though it takes a special kind of person to become a multi-millionaire. 110% effort and passion for what you do will help, but it’s the customers that do the choosing. And that’s how Johnny Cupcakes started.
John made his first Johnny Cupcakes shirt as a joke, but compliments and requests for shirts started rolling in and supply and demand determined the start of a business.

The story is an inspirational read. And if you need any further proof of Johnny Earle’s awesomeness:
He has been voted America’s best young entrepreneur for 2008.

I LOVE the designs.
