I WISH I WAS THERE: Johnny Cupcakes LA Store Opening

"It felt like the Beatles had landed in LA."
-BobbyHundreds from The Hundreds

This is Johnny Cupcakes, he sells t-shirts (and other stuff) with cupcakes on them. For real, this Boston native has built a multi-million dollar, international cult following on cupcakes. Many streetwear heads (including myself) don't understand the fascination associated with the image of the brand, but hey, design is subjective and what’s wrong with having a little bit of good old fun? If anything, you have to respect Johnny's passion, determination, hustle, creative mind, and his general good-guy persona.

Recently, Johnny Cupcakes setup shop on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. With the help of the same fabricators that Disney use, Johnny created a cupcake wonderland.

This is how the shit went down.....

7959 Melrose Ave.
Los Angeles, CA


The cupcake troops started the line 4 days before opening day, that's some serious dedication.





Johnny arrives in style via a vintage truck and a custom cage box that was built by the same dudes who worked on all the crates for the new Indiana Jones moive.

Yes, that is real steam.
