This Blog Lives! (Sorta)

We celebrated my grandmother's birthday this past weekend, and as she requested, I baked her a birthday cake. Nothing too fancy, a white almond and dark chocolate layered cake with vanilla buttercream. The green sugar is the only acknowledgement of the St. Patrick's Day weekend.

Turns out I didn't bake a large enough cake - there twice as many people there than I had expected, so the slices ended up being thin and halved. There was also a fruit tart, but that went unnoticed.

I ran into Mr. Fussy at Nine Pin a few weekends ago and he had mentioned I had survived the blog roll purge. Not bad. I wish I had the motivation to write as much as he does, but writing is hard for me. And as I explained to him at the time, it is much easier to post on Instagram than write blog posts. If you look at my IG feed, you will see that I post almost daily. Photo with a few words... send.

If writing could be that simple.

Popular Foods of 2012: French Toast

So now is the time for the "best of's," looking back on all that was in the twentytwelve. I thought good and hard about doing one, but to be honest... I couldn't think of many highlights for this blog.

I got published.

I made some crazy cupcakes.

I got freakin' published!

Okay. There was my blog recap. Could have been better, sure... but meh. 

Anyways, in regards to the french toast. It has been my go-to breakfast option at work lately. In fact, I ordered it for two weeks straight. At both sites. It's just too good to pass up. Yes... chock full of calories and bad for my thighs, but it's the end of the year. I'm allowed to indulge.

Lucky Me!

An early Christmas present perhaps? If so... I like it.
