In B. Blackadar, Weak expectations and nuclear C -algebras. Indiana Univ. Math. J. 27 (1978), 1021-1026. Blackadar shows that every separable subalgebra of a simple $C^*$-algebra is contained is a simple separable $C^*$-subalgebra of $A$. In particular, every separable $C^*$-algebra can be embedded into a simple separable $C^*$-algebra (since it can be embedded into the Calking algebra).
