Cupcake Business Run By 11-Year-Old Shuttered By Illinois Health Officials - Yahoo
Quote:
Chloe, 11, said she was told by health officials in Madison County, Ill., that if she wants to continue selling cupcakes she will need to buy a bakery or build a separate kitchen.
"It bummed me out because I wanted to keep baking," Chloe told ABCNews.com. "I had a bunch of orders and they said I had to cancel them all."
Stirling, who is in sixth grade, has operated "Hey Cupcake" out of her family's kitchen in Troy, Ill., for the past two years. And it appears her success may have invited the scrutiny of regulators.
The cupcake mogul said she's raked in some serious dough for a kid her age, charging $10 for a dozen cupcakes and $2 each for the more elaborate treats, such as cakes that look like high heel shoes.
"It felt good because with all my money I could buy stuff I wanted and didn't have to wait until my birthday or Christmas," Chloe said, adding that she was also saving money for a car.
