The Story Behind The Cupcakes
What started as a hobby – baking for family and friends, and the love of her favorite childhood movie, has now become her dream — Just For Kicks Cupcakes & More!
Janette Johnson, a wife, mother, & grandmother…daughter & sister…friend & community servant, has built her reputation on homemade goodness and good old southern hospitality. Her mother, Ms. Sue, taught her well in both departments and has turned her dream into a delicious reality. Now retired from the Sheriff’s Department, Janette can be found in the kitchen baking up the most scrumptious morsels you will ever taste.
Her love of baking was combined with her childhood memories of the Wizard of Oz, and in 2018 she opened up her storefront serving up those memories of the Tin Man and Scarecrow…Dorothy, Toto, and the Cowardly Lion…in the form of something moist, sweet, and totally unforgettable. There’s no place like Just For Kicks!
Her shop has grown since opening and now features local artisans and crafters who sell their creations in small displays throughout the shop. Janette knows she wouldn’t be where she is today without the help of the community.
