From the Daily Caller:

And before the government took her oven mitts, the sixth grader charged $10 for a dozen cupcakes and $2 for each specialty cupcake. However, she was also known to donate her time and sprinkles to charity. When a boy in her school was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, she donated cupcakes to help raise money for his treatment. Adding a personal touch, she made them orange and blue because he “was a really big Cubs fan.” Her largest order ever, amounting to 220 cupcakes, was also for a cancer fundraiser.

It should also be noted that her parents were willing to give in to every demand by the bureaucrats except to build a separate kitchen (which would probably have cost $20,000).

Cleanliness was not the issue with the Government. They insisted on a demand that the cupcakes be made in a kitchen where nothing else is cooked.

So you have your choice. You can apologize to everyone on this thread for cheering the government nazis on in their efforts to shut down this wonderful girl's dream or you can withdraw your claim to be one of the most anti-big government people on Free Republic.

This case is a blantant example of government overreach.

This kid is prohibited from working for someone else because of child labor laws. She started this business in order to be able to buy a car when she turns 16. But she is now shut down because her parents can't afford to build a new kitchen.

Of course, they could have resolved this problem the old fashioned way. They could have slipped a couple of hundred dollars into the inspector's pocket.

Doubt you could ‘buy’ one of these bureaucrats off...Much more fun harassing people that can’t really defend themselves.

When the dynamic duo of BO/JOBAMA/HOLDER get through the Fed will be sending out ‘hit squads’ to round up all these 12 yo lawbreakers....

Ayn Rand 100% correct - make enough dumb laws and we can turn everyone into criminals.

And then fat Amy Yaeger would have blown it all on cupcakes.
