Happy 2nd Birthday, Bakingdom!

by

Yay! I can’t believe it’s been two whole years since my very first post! Things have really grown and changed here, and I couldn’t be happier!

Starting Bakingdom was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I’ve been having the time of my life baking, eating, and sharing recipes with you all!

I decided this year that I wanted to take things easy for this celebration. Usually, I’m all about the party! I want fancy cake, fancy food, fancy decorations, and lots of gifts…to give and receive! But today, I’m doing things a little differently.

Today, I’m relaxing and taking the whole day to myself. I didn’t go wild making a fancy cake, and I’m keeping my post short and sweet, because I’m off to have a lazy, sugary sweet, all about Darla day. :)

I can’t NOT have cake, though, so I made some sweet mini tiered cakes for myself (chocolate, of course), and covered them with simple swirls and stripes of my favorite vanilla buttercream. Nothing fancy, but definitely delicious, and still fun, girly, and adorable. Just what I wanted for today.

Mostly, what I really want to do today is say thank you to all of you!!

Thank you so much for your support, comments, visits, laughs, and friendship. I’m so lucky to have some of the very best readers in all of the interwebs, and without you, Bakingdom wouldn’t be what it is today.

Thankyou,thankyou,thankyou,thankyou,thankyou!!

I hope you keep coming back, and that you always have lots of fun, and find lots of inspiration here. You guys mean the world to me, and I love getting to share my joy with you, so one more time:

THANK YOU!!!

I love you guys!!

Now I’m off to enjoy this pretty, sweet, little sugary piece of happiness with a huge mug of caramel hot chocolate while I catch up on Downton Abbey! See you in a few days with some new, yummy sweets, my wonderful friends!

xo,
Darla

    What a gorgeous and beautiful cake!! And would you believe that we practically share an EXACT blog birthday!! My first couple of posts didn’t survive the move to WordPress, but they were right at the end of January 2010.

    Enjoy your day, sweet Darla!! xoxo

    Happy birthday! I have some leftover buttercream in the fridge. I may need to make myself a mini tiered cake to celebrate with you. Here’s to many more years of fun and inspiration and delicious ideas!
