18-year-old opens cupcake bakery, sells 3,500 cupcakes opening weekend

Those are numbers that I think are good for everyone: the economy, cupcake fans, anyone who dreams of opening a cupcake business!

From the East Aurora Advertiser:

Michael Wulf, who graduated from Attica High School in June, said he wanted to bring something that was so popular on a national level to East Aurora. “It’s a great small community that supports their local businesses,” he said.

On opening day, Swirls had a 35-person line out the door and sold out of 1,000 cupcakes in less than four hours.

“I was floored at how many people came. The support from the community has been overwhelming; I couldn’t ask for anything more,” Wulf said.

In the 30 minutes this writer visited Swirls for an interview and to “test” some of the treats, more than 30 customers came in, most of whom left with goodies of their own.

VERY salty caramel cupcake and getting into the Thanksgiving spirit at Sprinkles

I bought this salty caramel cupcake at Sprinkles Cupcakes in Manhattan today ($3.75) and was impressed with how salty it was! You can see the salt crystals on it, and taste definitely errs on the more salty than caramel side, but not so salty that it's not pleasant to eat. Without checking, I'm not sure what the cake was, but it was moist and went well with the cake. They have this salty caramel in limited rotation, so it's worth checking out. Visit sprinkles.com as well as @sprinkles and their Facebook page to find out what's new, and see below for them getting into the Thanksgiving holiday spirit with upcoming limited edition holiday flavors and "gobble" letters to decorate your cupcakes!
