#22. Cross Bone Cupcakes

Earlier this year I came up with the idea of “Cross Bone Cupcakes”, my own cupcake company. My dad is the proud owner of a cafe and I also work for him. When I told him about my entrepreneurial ideas, he was very supportive and said I could sell the cupcakes at the cafe.
Yesterday was the first official day of Cross Bone Cupcakes. To be completely honest, I was extremely unprepared for the occasion. I didn’t have the proper tools to decorate the cupcakes, I didn’t market them, and the signage was mildly unprofessional. Like I said, I was unprepared. I displayed the cupcakes for a whole 24 hours. Business was slow and I only sold 1 cupcake of the 12 I made.
I’ve learned that when you want to start your own business you have to be completely dedicated to it. I am not ready to start my own business just yet, however I will continue with the brainstorming process J
Cross Bone Cupcakes!
