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:
Wow Katie… this post has me mezmerized!! I want to be back in school so I can make my life in cupcakes now.
I have to admit to feeling all good inside about the Texas cupcake (and I’ll forgive you for the Stars one). And the angel is such a fitting cupcake to describe you 🙂
This post ROCKS!!! I can’t believe you were able to express so much of your life through cupcakes. That’s incredible – and shows just how TALENTED you are. You have so much going for you in life and on top of that, you can decorate a cupcake unlike anyone I’ve ever seen :o)
I LOVE the life in cupcakes!! You are SO freaking talented. 🙂
I totally know what you mean about being super busy and not being able to keep up with blogging… I have over 200 posts in my google reader! 🙁

These are beautiful. That is such an inventive way of approaching the project and a great insight (plus the bonus of delicious cupcakes!).

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.
