JOHNNY CUPCAKES X SANRIO COLLABORATION 2016

Mark your calendar for Saturday, November 5th, when Collaboration No. 3 between the bakers at Johnny Cupcakes and the fine folks at Sanrio takes place! This time around, the tried and true recipe includes not only Hello Kitty, but Keroppi and Badtz-Maru too! In 2011 the first batch immediately sold out, which led to the extremely popular 2012 Johnny Cupcakes Hello Kitty Halloween release. The tasty confections for 2016 will be exclusively released at johnnycupcakes.com, Johnny Cupcakes' store at 279 Newbury Street, Boston, and Newbury Comics' retail locations. The collection will also be available at Sanrio.com and select Sanrio boutique stores later this month. The menu has a sweet variety of five t-shirts for both men and women and a hooded sweatshirt for men and women, a tee for kids, a baby onesie, a variety of stickers and an enamel pin. Stop by Johnny Cupcakes Boston and meet Keroppi! The first 50 people in line will receive a gift bag of goodies! Enter the giant oven door at 12noon EST November 5th, or shop online at johnnycupcakes.com.
