LOVE is a Four Letter Word

I am so excited that we finally got our tickets to see Jason Mraz's concert at the Hollywood Bowl this October.  Jason Mraz is one of my favorite musicians and have been longing to see his live performance for ages.  I am now listening to his songs every morning when I drive to work and every night when I go to bed, just to get familiar with all his songs, so I could enjoy even more at his concert. 

From boring...

...to what not to LOVE

Yesterday, in order to show my love and support to Jason and his music, I crafted 4 fondant toppers inspired by Jason's new album, "Love is a Four Letter Word" to decorate some dull looking Oreo cookies.  This is a wonderful (and easy) way to show your beloved one how much you love, care and appreciate them or it will even make a great surprise proposal idea.  If you want to turn your Oreo cookies to be a cookies with mission or a special cookie with messenge for the one you love, but you have no time or no idea how to make it.  Contact us or check our C for Cupcake Cupckaery Etsy shop, we could HELP!

They are not ordinary cookies. 
They are cookies with mission to show people LOVE.

It's very hard to pick only 10 favorite songs from Jason Mraz because a lot of them are really welly made.  Here is my TOP 10 list:

1.  Butterfly (my all time favorite, so sexy and mystery)
2.  Man Gave Names to all the Animals (it's a cute revision from the Bob Dylan's version)
3.  I'm Yours (what not to love?!)
4.  Lucky (Mr. G and I sing this song at karaoke all the time)
5.  Remedy (First song I knew from Jason Mraz)
6.  Curbside Prophet (Very refreshing new music)
7.  You and I Both (Sad love song)
8.  Did You Get My Message (Love the melody and lyrcis)
9.  Make It Mine (Meaning song)
10.  Please Don't Tell Her (another sad song from him)

Just because...

I made some cupcakes, which inspired by the Beatles' popular love songs "All You Need is Love" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" for my customer.  Her husband loves the Beatles and she saw the Beatles cupcake toppers I made last year; she immediately fell in love with it.  She once told me she will for sure come to me and order some from me.  She came to me last week and ordered some Beatles to surprise her husband.  She wanted the 4 members of the Beatles and the remaining two cupcakes, she left room for me to put on my own designs.  I figured since she ordered the cupcakes for her love, I made the remaining two with a love message on it. Sometimes we don't need a reason to send something sweet to the one you love, some "just because..." cupcakes are the best!

Happy birthday to me!

Thanks for everyone's wishes!  Today is my birthday; it means that I am getting one year wiser=)  Just want to share one of my favorite birthday songs with all of you - "Happy Birthday to me" from the Vandals.

The butter to my bread

Couple weeks ago, on an ordinary Monday, my receptionist called and told me that I have a very cute delivery up front.  I didn't know what to expect at all, but quickly walked to the front desk to "claim" my delivery.  In my mind I was thinking, I ordered something from Amazon, but how could she know what I ordered is cute?! 

I got there and saw this cute Hello Kitty Edible Arrangement, but I still had no clue who sent that to me.  I was thinking must be one of the clients from my cupcakery...until I got to read the card...ha-ha, who else, silly me, of course my husband.  That's one of the sweetest things I ever received from my husband.  He is such a sweetheart and he is "the butter to my bread and the breath to my life".  How I could love this guy less?!  This cute surprise made me think of this song from Stevie Wonder:

No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day

No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

Lady Gaga Inspired Cucpakes on "All Things Cupcake"

I am so glad to see my creation on "All Things Cupcake" website (this is another very popular cupcake site for the cupcake lovers).  Find out what they thought about my cupcakes and which one is their favorite by clicking here. 

When I was sharing this great news with my mother-in-law by text msg.  She had a fabulous idea; she mentioned that I should send Lady Gaga a picture of the cupcakes.  And I did!  I sent her a picture of my Lady Gaga's cupcakes through Twitter last night.  I am not sure if she is going to respond, at least I tried (no regret).

Mr. G, I and my famous world travel cupcake are heading to the beautiful Washington State for my friend's wedding this evening.  I will see you guys next week, have a wonderful weekend!

Lady Gaga Inspired Cupcakes

Lady Gaga, a very edgy performer.  When she first came out, I was not a big fan of her.  I was thinking she might be just another strange performer with all kinds of crazy outfit to get every one's attention.  However, after listening few of her songs and saw her live performance on TV, I was impressed by her natural talent.  I love and admire someone, who can sing and perform.  You know singing and performing are different!  Some people could sing, but their performance could always put you to sleep.  Some people are entertaining, but they are not really good at singing or dancing.  Lady Gaga can somehow balance both elements on the stage; that is the reason why she is a super star!

I am in love with her new song "You and I"; it's such a beautiful and touching song.  I was listing to her live on the radio when I was driving home last night, and I really wanted to make some Lady Gaga inspired cupcakes today.  I had fun doing the cupcakes, the only challenge I had was which outfits I should pick since she has ways too many special outfits.  I chose the following ones to do because they are her "signature" looks.  When you see the following outfits, you would immediately think about her.
