What is The Cupcake Project????

The Cupcake Project is a quirky art project I started to remind everybody that they have creativity in them!

My name is City (Felicity) and I worked for years as a graphic designer. Inspired by my experience with Art Therapy sessions, I started The Cupcake Project in 2007 to help everyone connect to their inner creativity.

By February 2008 I quit my graphic design job and started working from home living a far more creative life selling my cupcakes and crafts. I am known in the cupcake blog world as The NZ Cupcake Queen. My cupcake obsession led me to start my own cupcake blog that I regularly update with photos of my baking projects: You can visit here! In 2009 I went back to University to start my Bachelor of Fine Arts and then my dream of a Masters in Arts Therapy.

For The Cupcake Project I'm asking everyone to draw a picture of a cupcake and then email or snail mail it to me. I then post each person’s artistic creation on my Cupcake Project blog.

Check out some of the cupcakes that have already been submitted. This site is an amazing collection of talented people, many of whom don't think they can even draw! So please spare 5mins, have some fun and get in touch with your creative side

• The image can be black & white or colour, drawn, painted, sketched, a collage, a doodle, done with pencils or felt tip pens, spray painted, sewn....whatever you want!
• It can be realistic or you can let you imagination run wild
• It could be your idea of the perfect cupcake
• Or your dream cupcake

My hope is that each person will get in touch with the bit of creativity that is inside us all but we don’t always connect with. Cupcakes are so much fun and make everyone happy. I hope this spreads my love of the humble little cupcake!

I want to see if I can get people from all over the world involved in this. So please spread the word to people you know. Get your kids involved, your friends, co-workers. Have some fun!

thanks heaps,
City the NZCQ

Cleo loves cupcakes and created this amazing cupcake art for a class project where they had to represent one object in 25 different ways. She used cupcakes and made them into a cube.

This fantastic cupcake painting was done by Nicole who says that the last time she painted anything was probably ten years ago (or longer!) and The Cupcake Project inspired her to start again. How awesome is that! Its what The Cupcake Project is all about :-)

This painting was done on canvas using acrylic paints and she painted using her fingers instead of a brush.

Happy 2009 Cupcake Project fans

The last few months of 2008 were extremely busy for me. My cupcake business has seen me working all sorts of hours, plus the Kraftbomb craft show I run with my friend has taken off and I also moved house, turned 30 and celebrated my 1 year wedding anniversary with my dear hubby.

But even though I haven't managed to keep The Cupcake Project up to date, I still read every email that comes through and I thank you all for your continued support of my wee art project.

A very special thank you to Room 2 of St Francis Xavier School in Dunedin. They sent me a huge envelope of cupcakes they'd drawn and receiving that package not only made my day, it also made me feel that The Cupcake Project really does touch peoples lives, which was my goal in the first place!

May 2009 be a year of creativity and growth for us all. And if you still haven't had a go at drawing a cupcake for The Cupcake Project, why not make that one of your 2009 goals.

Love and Light,

City

I'm still alive!

Hi everyone!

Its been a bit quiet on The Cupcake Project front. I have to apologize to those of you who have submitted a cupcake in the last 3 weeks that they haven't been uploaded to the website yet.

Its been a busy time for me with running the Kraftbomb craft show with my friend Karla, taking LOTS of cupcake orders for my NZ Cupcake Queen business and to top it all off my hubby and I are moving house on the same weekend I turn 30 and we celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary!

Phew! So bare with me, I'll be updating just as soon as we're all unpacked in our new place!

And if you haven't submitted a cupcake to The Cupcake Project, what better time than now :-)

cupcake 172 - Jacque Lynn Davis

St. Louis, U.S.A



How cute is this Happy Little Cupcake paper toy, created by super talented artist Jacque Lynn Davis! Make sure you visit her website and Digital Drawings blog to see more of her amazing artwork and other paper toy creations!

The best bit is that Jacque has kindly provided 2 versions of this paper toy that you can cut out and fold so you have your own Happy Little Cupcake! Even better, one of them is left blank so you can colour it in any way you wish :-) Just click on the pictures below for a larger sized image you can print out and use.




INSTRUCTIONS:

Happy Little Cupcake is a folded and cut paper toy using VERY SIMPLE origami folds. To make the Happy Little Cupcake, cut out the square, fold the sides to the back along the dotted lines, making a kite shape. Fold the bottom point behind and fold it back again on itself, so that it can be used for the cupcake to stand-up. Slip a penny or other small weight in the bottom to help it stand up.

Valley fold the middle line and then mountain fold the line above it. Then cut around the top of the cupcake, rounding the frosting.

If you make your own "Happy Little Cupcake" Jacque would love to see your photos. Have fun and be sure to visit her Flickr page and email her if you post pictures of your own "Happy Little Cupcake".

cupcake 171 - Cindy Atmore

"The Cupcake Project" in Frankie

one word - "yay!

Thanks for the love Frankie xx

lets be friends

When I started The Cupcake Project in late 2007 I was still a relative newbie in the cupcake blogging world. My own blog NZ Cupcake Queen had only been going since Feb 2007 and I was still making baking friends and discovering new blogs to read and enjoy.

I can't remember the exact moment I decided to start The Cupcake Project, but the idea came to me during a period of intense personal growth and change. I was feeling unhappy and creatively empty in my job and I desperately wanted to reconnect with my creative side. Somehow it had slowly trickled out of my life and been replaced with deadlines and stress. I don't know how I'd lost it, something that was so dear to me and such a huge part of my decision to follow the career path I took had slipped through my fingers. The last piece of creatively I clung to was my cupcake obsession and baking for friends.

So The Cupcake Project was born. A way to get myself and other people reconnected to their creative side, whether they'd simply lost their way and stopped creating or believed they "couldn't draw" or weren't creative.

Creativity isn't a gift only a select few get to enjoy, we are all creative beings. Sure, some are incredibly talented and change the world with their creativity or make a living from it, but that does not exclude the rest of us from having a creative side to us that is just as important as the great artists and thinkers of our time.

So this little art project started from humble beginings, most of the first entries are friends and co-workers who had no choice but to have a go at drawing a cupcake (its amazing what a bit of nagging and threatening to stop baking can do!). But since then it has grown and grown. Entries from all over the world, from young and old, more and more mentions on other blogs and magazines.

But enough rambling, the point of my post was to share with you how The Cupcake Project and the Cupcake Project came to be friends. A little while after I started The Cupcake Project I googled it to see how it was doing. I came across a cupcake blog called Cupcake Project. I did freak out a little but realised that the sites were very different, mine was an art project, Stef's was a cupcake baking blog.

I always meant to email her and say hi, but never did. And as it turns out, in Oct 07 Stef discovered my Cupcake Project and freaked out a little bit over how similar the names were. It all comes down to a "THE". She did a lovely entry on her blog about it and decided there as room for both Cupcake Projects in the world. The problem was, I only started reading her blog around Feb/March this year, so it was only today when I finally got around to sending her an email to say hi that I even found out about this lovely post.

So that, dear readers, is a bit of background on the beginnings of The Cupcake Project and a little story about how The Cupcake Project and Cupcake Project became friends.

If you haven't already, check out Stef's Cupcake Project. Not only is she a talented cupcake baker she's a great blogger and has plenty of fans in the cupcake world :-)

I only just discovered MixTape zine on my recent trip to Melbourne. I bought a copy of issue 4 at Meet Me At Mikes and have been hooked ever since. I got all fangirl and bought the 3 back issues I'd missed out on and also a subscription so I need never miss another issue.

So I was pretty stoked to get an email from the very rad Justine at MixTape letting me know she'd done a piece on The Cupcake Project on the MixTape blog

feeling the luuuuuuurve

The Cupcake Project is in the latest issue of Frankie magazine! How stoked am I to be featured in one of my all time fave mags. I am yet to receive my subscription copy in the post, but rest assured as soon as I do, I'll scan the page and put it up here.

Thanks to Pip at Meet Me At Mikes for posting about the latest issue of Frankie and giving me a heads up about TCP being in there :-)

The Power of the Cupcake Project

I just had this lovely email forwarded to me from someone who took part in the cupcake project and had an old friend find them after years because of their submission.

Very cool the power of The Cupcake Project

Rachelle, a really good friend who I had lost contact with since she moved to Australia about 5 years ago, sent me an email today.

She had seen my cupcake photo on the Cupcake Project webpage.

The Cupcake Project is reaching out around the world making babies laugh, old men cry, and friends reunite.

Never underestimate the power of the cupcake.

HELP THE CUPCAKE PROJECT GROW

Yes I'm using the caps lock button tonight! I had an aim to get 50 cupcake pictures on the site by the end of October. Im stoked that I got 42, but a little bit disappointed that I missed the 50 mark by only 8 submissions.

Next goal is 100 cupcakes on The Cupcake Project site by the end of November 2007

PLEASE spread the word and help me grow this creative project. And if you haven't submitted your cupcake, please have a go at creating something and have some fun

Thanks to all the lovely people who have contributed so far
