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.

Mmmmm, this cake looks deLISH! Can't wait to try it. I have lots of goals for this year, and next year, and next year . . . LOL! One, though, for this next year is to learn to take better macro photo, I'm already working on it. Also, I recently lost 15 lbs. so of course my goal is to KEEP IT OFF, and to lose perhaps 10 more, then I'll be at my perfect weight. whoohoooo!
I just discovered your blog via Bake It Pretty – congrats on your blogiversary!
One of my goals for the next year is to get more practice in layer cake decorating. I took a cake decorating class earlier in the year and would just like to hone my skills and whip out an awesome cake like it was nothing! :)
my goal is to get out of my current office job and pursue a career in culinary… perhaps culinary school? Perhaps. :) I just have to take the first step..! ilean811(AT)hotmail.com
That cake looks magnificent! I'm really trying to expand my horizons. I've been stuck in a bit of a cooking rut, and am really trying to branch out. Having so much fun doing so!
My goal is to lose weight and get in shape. Your blog isn't helping!
My goals are also to continue to work on my photos and get a new camera!
Thank you for all the work you put in this blog. I enjoy reading it so much!
My goal is to stop buying such processed foods if I can make them at home. I just started with English muffins and will never buy them again!
My goal is to get a bike and start biking to campus! I'm moving to Seattle for grad school and terrified of biking in a big city… I'm thinking helmet + padding to keep me safe from cars.
I hope to be more organized in our new home, although with kiddo #5 on the way, that may be a dream :)
