Johnny Cupcake T-Shirts Soar

Johnny Cupcake also known as John Earle has successfully started his own t-shirt and sweatshirt business with the brand name, Johnny Cupcake. The Boston Globe reports that Johnny Cupcake is making a great impact on the t-shirt and sweatshirt business. These cupcake themed shirts take pop culture and place cupcakes on them. Sara Mason of The Boston Globe points out two examples, a t-Shirt that reads “Make Cupcakes Not War” and a sweatshirt that has a cupcake baker cartoon printed on it.

John Earle graduated high school in 2000 and went to college right after graduation. After only a few days, he decided that his ADD (Attention Deficient Disorder) prevented him from concentrating and that college just wasn't a good fit for him. He then went on to work some odd jobs. One of his co-workers gave him the nickname, Johnny Cupcakes and Earle decided to make some t-shirts with the cupcake theme. The shirts were such a hit that people asked him to make them one. That was just the beginning, he began selling them out of the trunk of his car and was able to make enough money to quit his odd jobs and start selling full time.

These themed t-Shirts and sweatshirts have become popular worldwide. The successful business entrepreneur thought about opening a store in London and California but later decided to wait. His sales have taken off so well in the United States that he would like to wait to see how well his current Unites States stores will do along with his online store.
