Wow, one year… one whole year I have been writing this blog! As I sit here typing, I am swaying in my chair and singing the lyrics to the 1990′s jam, “It’s Our Anniversary” by Tony! Toni! Toné!
However, I am replacing the word anniversary with blogoversary, because I am cool like that! It’s a damn good thing no one can see or hear me because I way waaay off key and the song in this context makes absolutely no sense!
For my blogoversary, I made The Pioneer Woman’s Italian Cream Cake, and let me tell you – this cake is fabulous!
If you follow me on twitter, you may remember my tweet about having a spoonful of this frosting for breakfast yesterday morning. I did omit the walnuts because Brian is allergic. Instead, I topping the cake with toasted coconut, and it is FAB!
For my blogoversary I wanted to put together a giveaway that would be comprised of some of my favorite things.

Happy Blogaversery!
My goal is to spend more time with my children. I just feel like I have so much to do and never enough time!
my grand goal is to practice 'forgiveness'. my cooking/baking goal is pancakes. I make horrible pancakes. Once I master them it will on to the next ??? BTW a big, fat congrats on one year.
My goal is to learn how to make sweets and not eat all of them! Is it possible?
My goal is to buy a cake pan and make an actual cake! I always make cupcakes because I still don't have any cake pans-I'm 32 years old, with no cake pans? Anyways, congrats on your blog and thanks for the giveaway! (love your pics!)
happy anni! well, these aren't baking-related, but my goals of the year are to take my comps for grad school and start my dissertation prospectus. i like to procrastinate, um, i mean, expand my horizons beyond nineteenth-century french literature, by baking, so i'm sure this giveaway would help in my endeavors. :)
I hope to get my recipes in a cookbook of some type. With hundreds of cookbooks, blogs that I follow, family hand me down recipes, and hundreds of clipped recipes… Oh my! I am hopping to try to find a better way to organize!
Congrats on your blogoversary!
Happy Blogoversary! :) In a month I am going to leave my job to stay home with my daughter. Aside from being with her and taking care of our little family, what I am most looking forward to is perfecting my baking skills enough to know how to 'make up' my own recipe.

Make a beautiful layer cake. And get back to the gym on a regular basis…
Happy Blogoversary! My goal is to finally finish my degree by the summer of 2010 and to be more positive. Oh, and to learn to make real french croissants!
I am hoping to get used to working with fondant… and improving the taste.
