I’ve met lots of biz kids of all ages since I started my business. But these four are just a few of the older ones I was lucky to meet because we were all featured in Mark Victor Hansen’s book, “The Richest Kids in America.” Not every person featured in the book was rich by any means, me included, but each person had their special talents and reasons for starting their business.

Chelsea Eubank – @faithfulfish Founder of Faithful Fish, a clothing line with cool designs with a religious theme. Chelsea has quite a story to tell. Make sure to check out her website and if you’re not already following her on Twitter, do it now.

Olivia Bennett – @oliviabennett A talented artist who started painting at five years old as a form of therapy after having cancer. Her artwork is amazing.

Martina Butler – @emogirltalk She runs her own web podcast and was the first teenager to get national sponsorship.

Allyson Ames – @wonderlandbakery Allyson could be a “look-a-like” for Alice in Wonderland but in reality, she started her own bakery business and does amazing custom cookies, cakes, cupcakes, etc. I’ve tried them and they are as good as they look.

Of course, if you’re not already following Mark on Twitter, make sure you do. @markvhansen

If you’re interested in buying a copy of the book, I have it on sale now through July 4 for just $8.99 with FREE shipping and autographed by me. Check my Pencil Bugs website to order.

If you’re not hungry now, you will be after you read this post and check out this website.   I met Allyson Ames a few months ago because she is also in Mark Victor Hansen’s new book, “The Richest Kids in America.”   She has a great story but an even more amazing business along with the perfect website.   Her business is called Wonderland Bakery and yes, it’s a real bakery in Newport Beach, California.  But it’s more than just an ordinary bakery.  Her store looks like you just walked into the “Happiest Place on Earth.”   And even more ironic is that Allyson looks like she could be Alice in Wonderland.

She has baked goodies for some really famous people and sends cookies, cakes, and cupcakes plus a whole lot more all over the country.  Whoopi Goldberg picked Allyson’s gingerbread cookie as her favorite when they had a contest on “The View.”   Allyson even made custom cookies for President Obama’s Inauguration Party.  That’s pretty awesome!   You can read all about that and lots of other cool stuff on her website.

102_0521Even though we met a few months ago, I didn’t have a chance to try her goodies.  She surprised me this week when she sent me three different kinds of cookies.    These weren’t your ordinary cookies either.  One box had deluxe chocolate chip cookies and raspberry chocolate cream cookies.   The other box had custom cookies made with my Pencil Bugs logo on them.  They were so colorful and perfect, I almost didn’t want to eat them but I did.  Before I shared them with my mom and dad, I just had to take a picture of them.   They were like little presents that you could give to someone. 

The good thing was, even with the frosting, they weren’t real sweet which we all liked.  The cookie was a sugar cookie but better than anything you could imagine.  Sometimes when you get things in a bakery, they look pretty but they don’t taste that good.  Allyson’s cookies looked perfect AND they tasted perfect too!

If you’re looking for something different for a party or maybe a gift for someone just for fun, Wonderland Bakery is the place to go.   And if you can’t get there, she’ll ship them to you. 

Did I sound like a commercial?   I guess I did but her goodies are worth bragging about.   Check out her website or if you’re close enough to her store, go in person.  You’ll see what I was talking about.

You can follow Allyson on Twitter.
