And suddenly it’s been a year. Exactly one year ago I published my first recipe on Cakies, and time has flown by so quickly I almost forgot the anniversary.
The world looked very different back then. I began this blog to share my recipes and baking adventures; I would have been satisfied if only family and friends read it. A year later I’m amazed that so many people I don’t know find their way here. Thank you for visiting!
The three most viewed recipes are:
- Extremely Delicious Apple and Cinnamon Cupcakes
- Surprisingly Delicious Chocolate and Chili Cupcakes
- Awesome Lime Buttercream
Picking a favorite recipe is tough. My very first post, Memory Lane Lemon Meringue Pie, is a classic. The Addictive Cinnamon and Sugar Popcorn is, as the name suggests, hard to resist. There’s also the fruity Fresh Mango and Ginger Quark Pie and the indulgent Bad, Bad Brownies, among many others.
Starting this blog also led me into the world of patisserie. I’m nearly finished with my Pastry Course — time really does fly!
One highlight for the English version of the blog was being mentioned on The Cupcake Blog, which linked to my Apple and Cinnamon Cupcakes recipe. A recent Dutch referral was equally exciting: one of the Netherlands’ leading newspapers mentioned my Goji Berry, Blueberry and Honey Muffins. Both mentions were surprises and felt wonderfully unexpected.
Even more rewarding are the kind comments you leave here, on Facebook, or on Twitter. Your feedback continues to surprise and encourage me.
So thank you — for the visits, the comments, and for following along with my recipes and baking adventures. I hope you’ll keep enjoying the posts and trying the recipes!
