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…

1. What your favorite thing about my blog?
2. What keeps you coming back?
3. 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!
