At this point in time Little William Dorchester as he was more commonly known as a plump little child was not so little anymore, and had proved to be a handsome and tall young man of the age 18. At this point in every young man’s life the same question rings and rings endlessly: “What am I going to do with my life?” For some the answer comes easily enough, having had their mind set on a profession since birth it would seem. But for Not-so-Little William Dorchester the question was a bit more problematic. For you see he always knew what he wanted to be when he grew up, but at the same time knew that his parents, nor the rest of the general populace would approve. William Dorchesters dream profession was a Cupcake Maker. Of course his father had put seeds into his head that he had hoped would sprout into this son wanting to be a doctor, or a lawer, William had no idea the amount of frustration it would cause him upon hearing his desired lifetime hobby. “A WHAT maker?!?!” his father bellowed, “Son, how are you expected to provide for your family in that manner?”
“Father, I can open up my own shop. Little William’s Cupcakes, I’ll call it. And I’ll sell them for 15 cents a piece. I’ll make more than enough money that way.”
Needless to say, William was kicked out of the house that night. However, he hitched a train like he once saw in a movie and took it all the way to San Fransisco, whereupon arriving he met a beautiful girl named Jessica who would become his bride. She alone approved of his desire to make delicious bite sized cakes and worked waitressing to help him gain enough money to open Little William’s Cupcakes inc.
And they lived happily ever after, bringing joy to children for some 50 years.
