Johnny Cupcakes. Sweet.

At Nerdlike, we applaud the little man, the underdog and the little train that could. And Johnny Cupcakes is a shining example of just that. At 19, he turned a joke into a multi-million dollar business. You’ve likely seen his shirts — the ones with cupcakes. They are packed in bakery boxes and if you are lucky enough to visit the Boston store, you might get some homemade cupcakes too. Brilliant!

For all you indie artists who need some extra motivation, peep the Johnny Cupcakes lecture series. And buy a shirt, support your indie artists!
