Happy 2nd Birthday
I can’t believe this little blog is now 2 years old! It started on in 2007 with a Coconut cake I made to celebrate Valentines day. I now make almost all my cakes from scratch and can’t say I will ever go back to boxed cake mix, homemade is SOOO much better.
I moved my blog to my own domain name in May of 2008. I hope you all enjoy reading my blog as much as I love baking and cooking in the kitchen, and I hope to countine my blog for many more years to come.
To celebrate my blog birthday I am giving away a Banana Nut Cherrios basket.
Included in this giveaway is a coupon for a free box of banana nut cheerios, banana tree with fruit basket, 2 cereal bowls, and a bread pan.
Please leave a comment with the following three things…
- What your favorite thing about my blog?
- What keeps you coming back?
- What you hope to see in the future?
To be eligable you must answer all three question with a comment by Feb 17th at 12pm central time. The winner will be randomly selected and announced on Feb. 18th.
Good Luck!
