I love David Archuleta!







OK I'm going to digress a little here! Those who know me are well aware of my fascination with the super-talented 17-going-on-18 year old singing sensation of American Idol fame, David Archuleta. I love his amazing angelic voice and highly admire his charming and down-to-earth personality. So when the chance came to finally put my two loves together, I jumped on it with passionate enthusiasm!

Who would have thought I can finally say 'cupcake' and 'David Archuleta' in one sentence? The project - a heartwarming thank you gift for an awesome radio station that dedicated a week to all-things David Archuleta. David's fans (me included) decided to show some appreciation to Flyfm - with flowers, cookies, TQ cards and of course, some cool cupcakes.

So it was with some 'fangirlish' drive that I came up with this neat design - personalised 'star' cupcakes for the djs, and a special message. Of course, I have to put David on the cupcake (albeit a cartoon rendition - credit goes to a Canadian fan Andrew who created the now-infamous David cartoon illustration), and the wings logo of Flyfm. I have to say the chocolate cartoon David and Flyfm logo were a labour of love, but it was definitely worth it - the djs blogged about them and a couple of David Archuleta fansites have featured them! Wow - maybe David A himself saw them too?

I have to thank dj Steve (there he is with Adam and Hafiz, having some fun with the cupcakes) and Jules for being so complimentary about my cupcakes, and of course, for showing some love for David A! Here's the links to their blogs:

Kiddy Party Favours




Cupcakes make fun and fantastilicious favours - especially when creatively packaged. So I'm loving the see-thru dome covers which shows off individually-packed cupcakes! Neat, mobile and pretty - they make lovely favours for kiddy parties, weddings, what have you.

This selection was made for a 4-yr old's birthday party! So I used fun toddler-friendly designs made from fondant and candy choc, and of course flavours are kiddy faves such as PB Choc and Passionana! Especially love the buttercream gerberas with choc bumblebees!
