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.
