Shaping an Object with Words

I started this exercise intending to to use a 'cupcake' image shaped from evocative words describing its taste and ingredients. My intentions were good but my Illustrator skills left a lot to be desired.....

So I killed two birds with the one stone by using this image which we were working on in Digital Authoring. It was originally a photograph of a lightbulb and presented a good opportunity to learn in Illustrator. I would have liked to create the shape with words and without the background silhouette so that's my next goal.
