This semester, as a fun elective, I’m taking an acting class. Here were the directions for our first assignment:
“You may use any medium– song, dance, drawing, etc.– to present to the class a self-portrait. It is your opportunity to share who you are as a person. Be creative.” Pretty open-ended assignment, huh? I love projects where you get to be creative. At first, I thought about making a scrapbook.
I’ve blogged about my passion for scrapbooking, here: My life in scrapbook pages.
But then an even more creative idea came to mind:
“All About Me” Cupcakes! So here it is– my life in cupcakes:
.
I was born in England.
I’ve also lived in Philadelphia…
Japan…
China…
and Texas: 
From living all over the world, I developed an interest in learning about other cultures and languages. Fittingly, I’m majoring in Spanish.
.
I’m also very athletic. In high school, I played both varsity soccer and tennis.
I’m also very athletic. In high school, I played both varsity soccer and tennis.
I still play tennis, but just for fun.
And I’m a fervent sports-fan, too… especially when it comes to the Dallas Stars!
I’m an avid scrapbooker and love anything to do with arts-n-crafts. 
And, after taking a class in high school, I became hooked on Adobe Photoshop.
Helping others is really important to me; right now I have two charity projects: Project Pillows and AfriCards (more on those in a future post). I also am a volunteer dog-walker two days a week at a local animal shelter.
Oh yeah, and I’m a vegan.
All together now:
These are beautiful. That is such an inventive way of approaching the project and a great insight (plus the bonus of delicious cupcakes!).
Oh my! They are soooo adorable!
I have not had much time lately to read other people’s blogs… but low and behold, as soon as i get some time to check out yours, i am SMILING and HAPPY… i love your creative desserts… you are so wonderful at decorating them… they all look YUMMY… great job! By the way, how did you get tho ANIMAL rescue site WIDGET for your blog? I want to put one on mine! Thanks and keep up the great work…
Those cupcakes look so so yummy! I wish I could cook like that and that my oven worked! Haha and you’re majoring in Spanish? That is awesome, I wish you the best of luck (: I live in Peru and evidently speak fluent Spanish, so if you ever need help with something just let me know!
Mmmm. Cupcakes. One of my very favorite things. These are so cute.
I love how you mention Texas along with countries. Yee haw! Succeed!!
Hooray for England! 🙂
oh my gosh this is TOO ADORABLE!
This post is too cute! I love all of your cupcakes 🙂
i must admit..i like your blog soooo much!! since i discovered it today im like stalker 😀 but i must say..this is the most wonderful idea i have ever seen ^_^
Wow, you are very talented! What a creative idea. You’ve lived in so many cool places! I also volunteer as a dog walker at a local shelter, it is a lot of fun!
wow, i’ve never seen this post before, it’s AMAZING! so lovely 🙂
Those are the cutest cupcakes ever!
aww thank u!
I love the tennis cupcakes (and all of them for that matter) – wow those must have taken such a long time considering all the attention to detail 🙂 LOVE THEM!
Thank u!!!
I was just making one of your strawberry shortcakes cupcakes and I clicked on the link to this page…I had no idea you were a Dallas Stars fan!! That makes me so happy 🙂 sometimes I feel like the only Stars fan in Texas because hockey is so overlooked here :/ so glad to see you appreciate the sport!
I know this is an old post, but I was looking for something ‘strawberry’ and linked on over to this. It is a wonderful thing to get to experience other cultures the way you have. I was born in Germany (my mother is German, father is American and was in the Army) and lived there a few different times. I grew up in the US essentially, but we’ve traveled to so many different places all over Europe, and I was raised speaking German and keeping the German culture in tact, as much as my father would allow, within our house. I would have loved to experience something as far east as Chine or Japan…one day. 🙂 You’ve got a blessed life. 😉

OMG!!! Those r ADORABLE! Did u actually eat them?
