Johnny Cupcakes

Holy moley – this is record breaking! These kind, funny, die-hard customers have decided to camp out 4 DAYS prior to my grand opening. They were there at the crack of dawn this morning (Tuesday). Not only are they camping out, but they got the parking spot RIGHT in front of my shop. These clever people took their vintage Volkswagen van and gutted it out for beds. They have been taking shifts sleeping/standing their ground in the soon to be, very first, west-coast Johnny Cupcakes line.

Highlight of the night was seeing Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel stop to stare at my shop all confused about the people camping out. They probably think it’s a cupcake shop too. I also think they were more confused at why my campers weren’t paying any attention to them – ha!

The line is starting to grow….
I can’t wait to see all the new and familiar faces!
Very exciting to see what the next few days bring.

PS: I don’t know if you remember or not – but I almost didn’t open a shop in California because I was afraid of earthquakes. Well, I was in my first earthquake this morning. I thought my friend Eric was messing around with me and jumping on the back of my car. I looked back and nobody was there. I then looked forward and saw street wires going crazy, as if a big ghost was playing jump rope with ‘em. I thought it was windy out for a sec, and right when I put my hand out the window and felt no wind at all – I knew I was in my very first earthquake. All these store windows across the way, were pouncing in and out, while customers and store owners frantically ran outside.

It was short but definitely made me feel uneasy. The scariest part was that I was unable to get a hold of my friends or family because my cell phone wouldn’t work for nearly an hour or so, after wards. I guess that’s what happens when some natural disasters strike. I could only imagine what was going on through my moms head…
