This 11-year-old is not only an entrepreneur but is doing so while adding to his family's legacy. "My grandfather and great grandfather were both chefs and bakers. I got the baker side, and one of my cousin's got the cooking side. I'm a third-generation baker," Logan Cooper of Texas City, Texas, told "Good Morning America." At age 9, Logan started baking and selling cakes locally to earn money to buy a new Xbox. The cakes were a hit, and that's when his business, LNC Sweets, was born. Logan bakes cakes for all occasions, including weddings, and sometimes delivers them himself. His tasty and beautiful cakes have made him famous in his hometown, where he's earned the nickname "Bubba Crocker." "Logan's nickname has always been Bubba. So when he started baking, I jokingly said, 'Move over Betty, there's a new Crocker in town -- Bubba Crocker, that is," his mom, Carmen Cooper, told "GMA." Some customers come to Logan with a photo of a cake in mind, and he said he loves the challenge of recreating it. He said he's made an Italian cream cake, a tres leches-flavored cake and a hummingbird cake. Carmen Cooper said Logan loves experimenting with different flavors, ganaches and designs. "My favorite cake to bake," Logan said, "has got to be the 'Oh So Milky Lava Cake,'" which is made of chocolate, espresso and cinnamon. His most popular cakes probably are his strawberry or vanilla.
