Baking Delights: Baking breads and treats for your family

Happy Blogger Birthday to Me….

by Marye on May 21st, 2008

birthday

:) On May 16 it was one year since I started writing here at Baking Delights. I was co- blogging at the time and my pictures were AWFUL.

I spent this afternoon going back through all of the posts over the past year I have learned alot about images, about blogging, and about food. Mostly I have made a lot of friends. Come remember with me!

The first post that I ever posted here was Coconut Praline Pie and while the pie is amazing..that picture was disgusting.

In June my computer went down and I blogged from the library. Most of my recipes went without images at all and I was driving to the library every day trying to keep up. I posted this recipe for Green Chili enchiladas, a family favorite.

In July I won the coveted Foodie Joust with Batter Fried Chicken with Peach Honey Glaze.

In August my readership skyrocketed when I posted The 50 Best Cookie Recipes on the Internet which made the front page of Digg in something like 12 hours. It is still the most popular page on Baking Delights.

In September I did my first Daring Bakers Challenge. Cinnamon Rolls. Yum.

In October I had a retro apron contest which was so much fun! I also searched out the most awesome wedding cakes on the internet.

My favorite post for November was the one about a full size car made from CAKE

December brought a lot of Christmas treats. One of my favorite was this Finnish Coffee Bread.

January was here before I knew it! Table of Condiments that Periodically Go Bad was a fun post but I posted my to-die-for praline cheesecake recipe.

February I did the Victorian Rose Pound Cake. What a great recipe for a tea or light dessert. Now that strawberries are at their best try it out as a base for shortcake.

In March I made Kalamata Olive Bread and it was awesome!

April made me think of weddings and I did a series on making your own wedding cake. But I also came up with this Berger Cookies recipe that I am very pleased with.

Anyway..thanks for spending this past year with me. I appreciate each of you so much! Your comments and creativity, your talent with the camera and with foods have all challenged, taught and inspired me every day!
