Yumm! Sounds like the makings of a fusion sundae, but no.. It's just me, LB, professing my LOVE for Johnny Cupcakes! Not just the extremely handsome, young, intellegent, driven, founder of the brand, but the ultra-creative, sometimes vulgar, definitely alternative clothing line, JOHNNY CUPCAKES. If you are not familiar with the delicious man that I am refering to then please read on because he and his T-shirt slinging "bakeries" are worth your time.
1st and foremost Johnny Cupcakes, himself, will be in Charlotte next Tuesday, April 6th at Niche in Southend!! He is taking it back to his roots on an official "Suitcase Tour" selling merchandise out of the Cupcake Mobile the way he did when he started his company selling screen printed T's out of the trunk of his '89 Camry during his lunch breaks. His brand has grown outstandingly since then, with a true cult following in the music and band scene as well as opening up "Bakeries" in such shopping Mecca's as Boston's Newbury Street and the City of Angels. His signature is what looks like a skull and crossbones from afar but upclose you see that it is but a sweet little cupcake atop the bones! This past weekend I indulged myself and made a special trip into the Newbury Bakery only to find rolled glass bakery cases and vintage racks all displaying the newest designs by Johnny Cupcakes. In the window "freshly baked" was printed in fat bubbly letters and I overheard some passerbys looking for the sweet temptations only to be pleasantly surprised by what they found inside!
Well JC's Suitcase Tour has just begun so be sure to catch him in your city but to those of you Charlottean's I really hope to see you at Niche on Tuesday... believe me you will be enticed by what you find!
