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.

Just found your blog today. Should be fun to follow. My goal is to keep doing what I'm doing but find a little more free time to relax and enjoy life: )
What a great giveaway. I am baking gluten-free/vegan cupcakes for a friend's wedding and I really need piping tips! My goal for next year is to make a pie crust–I've never made one!
Wow, that cake looks delicious! My goal for the next year is to become a first time home owner! Fingers crossed….
I just have to say how much I love checking out the amazing photos you take of your creations each week. This coming year, I'm hoping to also improve my photography skills with my new SLR camera, and to expand my creative horizons by finding different and better ways to use up whatever food happens to be in my pantry and fridge for impromptu meals
I just have to say how much I love checking out your blog each week, and drooling over all your amazing photos of your creations. I'm looking to get better at using my own new SLR camera this coming year, and also to expand my creative horizons by finding better ways to use up whatever happens to be around the house in my fridge and pantry!
I would love to learn to make and decorate tiered wedding cakes. I work at a boring office job each day so I am looking for a way to use the other side of my brain!
I would love to start taking my cookies at least a couple times a month to the nursing home down the street.
congrats on your first anniversary, wish you many more! that cake looks scrumptous!
