Meet: Carla Hesseltine-Owner of Just Cupcakes

Meet Carla Peay Hesseltine, featured speaker for POWER’S 2nd Annual Women’s Event. 

Carla is the owner and chief cupcake baker for Just Cupcakes in Virginia Beach and was the first Virginia competitor in Food Network’s, Cupcake Wars this past summer. She followed that up by returning to Cupcake Wars for an all-star match later in the year.

In 2011 Hampton Roads Magazine bestowed upon her the judges’ choice award for Best Cupcake Flavor in Hampton Roads.  In 2012 Virginia Living Magazine voted Just Cupcakes as the best cupcakes in the Eastern Region.

Just Cupcakes are the official cupcake of the Annual Neptune Festival and were served at the Governor and Mrs. McDonnell’s annual staff Christmas Party in Richmond, Virginia.

Also, Hesseltine was tapped to serve on Congressman Scott Rigell’s Small Business Advisory Board. She also serves on the FBI Citizens Academy board and is active with the VBSPCA, Equi-Kids and other local groups.

Building on that, this past summer, Carla was invited and attended the Virginia Women in Business luncheon at the Governor’s mansion and was named one of Inside Business’ Women in Business for 2011.

Tiny Tech Titan

JC Plus 1, Inc. Chapter Leader for Hartford, CT and successful business owner, Larry Kusher, shares this article and video from The Daily with you. It’s about a 12 year old with a vision, a business idea and how he implements and markets it. Watch Now!

Full story:

 

His Facebook page might read like any other 12-year-old’s — likes “The Simpsons,” Xbox and Angry Birds — but there’s nothing ordinary about Thomas Suarez, a Los Angeles-area middle schooler who owns his own tech company.Suarez’s company, CarrotCorp, develops and sells apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, including “Bustin Jieber,” a whack-a-mole-style game featuring Justin Bieber.The precocious programmer has had such success with his little shop that the Technology Entertainment and Design conference, commonly referred to as TED, invited him to give a speech last week in Manhattan Beach, Calif.Suarez told the TED crowd that he became interested in computing in kindergarten, and eventually taught himself the basics of Java, C and Python.

“A lot of kids these days like to play games, but now they want to make them,” Suarez said, iPad in hand. Try not to feel bad about wasting the first 12 years of your life.
