Okay, not literally, but an interesting article from the Daily Tarheel nonetheless...
Cupcakes led Kelley Gill to enroll in UNC's first artistic entrepreneurship course - BUSI 509.
After baking vegan, gluten-free and special-diet cupcakes for fun, Gill said she realized the demand for these types of desserts in the community.
Before long, she had requests flowing in for custom-designed cupcakes, and she decided to start a business out of it. But her business knowledge was limited.
"I decided 2008 was the year to focus on the business side," Gill said. "I've done a lot with the arts side, but I want to learn more about how to set up a business."
This spring, UNC opened two classes - one for graduate students and one for undergraduates - on artistic entrepreneurship, making it one of the first schools in the country to offer this type of course.
