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.

Pictured: Pinch bowls & Ice Cream Cone/Snow Cone Holders from Target
Giant Piping Tips and Cupcake Liners from Bake It Pretty (I love this little company!)
Pictured: Microplane and Silicone Spatula from Bed Bath and Beyond
Pictured: Mini Bundt Pans and Brownie Bite Pan by Wilton and purchased at Michael’s. Not pictured: an OXO Cherry Pitter from BB&B and a couple of small additions such as sprinkles and spoons…

    I want to make my own pie crust instead of being lazy and using a store bought one.

    Apparently I have to make and eat an Italian cream cake…my sister and I were just talking about it this morning and now you have posted about it. It must be a sign!

    My goal for this year is to use the fabric that I already have and not add any more (than I have to) to my collection!

    Happy blogoversary!

    Happy Blogoversary! My goal for next year is to get my own baking blog up and running (I've been a little lazy about getting recipes up). Also I'd love to learn a thing or two about food photography.
