Question of the Month: Young Entrepreneurs Discuss Their Creations

I’m doing a game where people pick a sea creature with a color on it and they match the color to win a piece of candy. I’m going to have different kinds of candy for people to win. I think little kids will like it because they get the chance to choose their candy depending on the color that they choose.

 

My business is called Eva’s Cupcake Bar. I am making vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with different toppings, fillings and sauces. There are preset flavors to choose from, or you can make your own. I started this business because I enjoy baking, and I like offering different custom options to people, which has been a theme in my past businesses.

 

Whittle & Co. Surfboard Company crafts miniature hand-carved wooden surfboards designed to surf the air outside the window of your car. Each surfboard is hand-carved, stained and painted in classic surf patterns, bringing life-size realism and quality to a miniature scale.

These surfboards are designed to bring joy to everyday life and turn any boring car ride into an imagination, inspiring surf right out the window of your car.

This product is designed to bring joy to customers. I will be satisfied if it brings just a little more happiness to a few people’s lives. As someone who pays a lot of attention while going on daily drives around town, I have noticed that far too many people who are not behind the wheel (or are behind the wheel) spend their time staring down at an iPhone. The addiction to technology that the general population has is something that has always depressed me, and I hope that my surfboards will get more people off their phones in the car and get them back to enjoying the real world in front of them.

I expect this product to be a success at the business fair. It is an impulse buy, something that pulls at your emotions, and I expect it will be a big hit with children. It is something that most people have never heard of, so it will draw a lot of attention.

 

At The Trinket Tavern, founded by Brynn and Daphne, we mainly work to make DIY jewelry. Along with reusing “trash” to make wearables, we also have stickers, various crochet items, pins and henna tattoos (all designed and created by us). To combat the mass consumerism in our generation, we reduce the amount of mindlessly bought items by collecting found materials. Whatever you find at The Trinket Tavern is either handmade or once seen as trash and then made into something usable! There are many trinkets to choose from, and you can feel like you’re doing the right thing while wearing our handmade jewelry.

 

I am really excited to sell my dog treats at the business fair. I think that most dog treats in stores right now can be very bad for your dog since they are usually made in big factories that don’t care about your dog’s needs. Instead, I’ve made all of my dog treats at home with care and attention, and I am very hopeful to see how my old customers and maybe some of my new ones react to the new flavors I just made.

 

I’m running a stand called The Pretzel Boss. I am making pretzel logs with pepperoni and cheese and another kind with ham and cheese, as well as ice cold drinks. I think people will need energy to walk around at lunchtime, so they will appreciate the food.
