Building an Empire- Cupcake Cabana!
Jan 26th, 2008 by admin
Introducing the empire….
I’ve this little cupcake inspired blog going for over 18 months and people always ask me if I would consider opening a store or becoming a baker. While the idea is romantic at times, I don’t think that’s the route for me (for now).
But I have wondered how I can turn this blog fueled obsession into a business and one day, a fellow Yelper said two magic words, Cupcake Cabana! Holy Cow! That’s it! I didn’t know what I would do with it, but I did know that was the name!
Now what to do with it? For Christmas, my dad (he’s very crafty) made me a logo as a surprise. That sparked the idea…why not hand crafted, homemade cupcake accessories? For the past few weeks, we (me and dad) have been busy little bees designing cupcake swag.
We’ve got a lot in the hopper, but I can’t wait till everything is PERFECT. I’m ready to jump right in and I want you to join me.
This if from what I’m calling the Roswell Series. These are designs inspired by the bright Wal-mart sized lights recently spotted over Texas. What do you think?
If you comment on this blog post, I will put your name into a drawing to receive a set of Cupcake Notes- Roswell Series featuring the UFO, Mars and Area 51 notecards. I’ll draw names at the end of the week…around February 2, 2008.

I’m visitng you from a link on quirky cupcake’s blog. I really like the alien eating the cupcake- clever! I’ll head on over to the store now.
You are on to something there, they will definitely sell!
I just love the “I come in peace” cupcake, so cute! I also want to let you know that i’m totally going to try your Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez Cupcakes this weekend! I’m from Louisiana, so it’s really got me pumped up!
Cute idea! Can you ship me one (or 7) or those CoCo Chanel cupcakes? Or is that asking too much?
Aliens and cupcakes? That’s pretty awesome, I’ll admit. Great to see your new business coming together!
