Happy Blogiversary to me. Well. Almost. **GIVEAWAY**
November 16, 2010 at 11:16 AM | Posted in Cupcake Hero, cupcakes, giveaway | 147 CommentsHello. Anyone out there? I need your attention. I have something to say.
*deep breath*
I let you down. I dropped the ball. I passed the buck. I left you high and dry. And didn’t leave a forwarding address.
I wish I could say that I won the lottery. Took an amazing cruise around the world. Went on a 3 month shopping spree. Interned for Oprah Winfrey and now I’m joining the ranks of Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Rachael Ray… b/c she’s producing my new tv talk show. Sadly it’s really much more simple than that. Life got busy and I got blog burned out.
But I’m still baking cupcakes for clients. Here’s proof.
Cute right? Fall must be the time for baby showers. I wore out my onesie cutter.
I want to thank everyone that kept Cupcake Hero going while I was MIA. I hope all the hosts had a good time while it lasted. I apologize to all the people that emailed me with their concerns and complaints about how Cupcake Hero as been run as of lately. Unfortunately because I feel like I’ve lost control, I am putting Cupcake Hero on hold indefinitely until I have more time to organize it up to its full potential. Please respect my wishes and DO NOT use the Cupcake Hero brand on your blog even unofficially. It is not yours to use. I promise I’m not trying to be be mean. It is not mine to give permission to use. That can only come from the original creator, Laurie of Slush. At this time we both agree that Cupcake Hero is on hiatus while I figure out if I want to continue, have sponsorship (or not), revamp rules, etc. Thank you for understanding.
If you are getting the shakes at the thought of no Cupcake Hero might I recommend Jamieanne of The Sweetest Kitchen‘s Mystery Cupcake Challenge. Heck. I might even give it a go myself.
Eesh. This post is turning all Debbie Downer.
I wanna bribe make it up to you.
Exactly a month from today is my 3 year blogiversary. No really? It is. Just look at my sidebar’s nifty blogiversary reminder. Wow. That means I’ve eaten A LOT of cupcakes in the last 35 months. *poking myself ala Pillsbury Doughboy* I almost forgot until my husband reminded me that he hasn’t had to go to the post office for a giveaway lately. Hardy har har husband. I’m gonna make him regret that.
To celebrate my blogiversary I’m having a **GIVEAWAY**! Nothing PW big. Just some cupcake stuff that I love, have, use, need, want. Readers, Christmas come early this year. *fist pump*

Darn! I really like Cupcake Hero; especially in months that I go home a lot and can actually participate!
Bakeware and cookbooks are always a plus!
Thanksgiving dessert is already taken care of; Warren Brown’s Pumpkin Cheesecake. I got to make a little sample cheesecake too and it’s quite tasty!

I am not a big fan of traditional Thanksgiving desserts, so for my work party I am making a peanut butter cream cheese pie and a white chocolate chip pie. I haven’t decided what I am making for my family dinner yet, but I still have a week and a half to decide that. I have so many recipes that I have been wanting to try, so I will probably pick one or two of those.
Comment by Patrice— November 16, 2010 #

I will be making several things for Thanksgiving:

-Pumpkin cupcakes with nutmeg creamcheese frosting
-And then a small cake to celebrate my brother and SIL’s wedding anniversary. Maybe a guava chiffon, not sure on that one yet.

I was so excited when I opened my reader and saw a new post from you. I’ll admit I was a little sad that you’re going back into hibernation though. :( But you gotta do what you gotta do.
I’m contemplating pumpkin cheesecake and the cranberry shortbread cake the TWD’ers made a couple weeks ago. They both sound good. Maybe I’ll make both.

Well, the question, what am I not baking for Thanksgiving. Haha! ;) Let’s see–we are kind of doing a Thanksgiving dessert “remix” this year. We’re making Pumpkin Whoopie Pies, Marbled Pumpkin Bars, Apple Crumb Cheesecake, Chocolate Pecan Pie, Sweet Potato Bars, Thanksgiving themed cookies, Chocolate and Nutella Turkey Cupcakes, and a few other items. I can’t wait!
Comment by Lisa B.— November 16, 2010 #

I’ll be making a pumpkin pie but not for Thanksgiving… it’ll be more for me and the hubs to chow down on pre-Thanksgiving. Since I’ll be 39 weeks pregnant on the actual t-day I’ve given myself the day off from cooking/baking ;)

I’ll be making a deep dish apple pie with crumb topping, pumpkin pie and I’m also thinking about making a pumpkin roll with marscapone filling. It might be overkill since there will only be 6 adults and a couple kids, but who cares. It’s at my house this year so I can do what I want, right? :)

Even though so far we only have 5 people for Thanksgiving, I’m planning on making 3 pies (call me crazy, go ahead)… a pumpkin pie with gingersnap crust and maybe homemade cinnamon-spiced whipped cream, a chocolate pecan pie with chocolate crust, and a fruit pie of some sort. There’s nothing wrong with leftover pie, right?

My mom and I are making Martha Stewart’s Apple Pie. Rather than a traditional pie crust, you make a crumb crust and topping from ground almonds. YUM!

Welcome back!!! Are you here to stay??
I have a US address, will that work? If it does, and since there’s no thanksgiving here, I haven’t planned anything yet, I’ll make whatever inspires me from my round of the blogs!

Is it bad that I don’t know yet? I’m spending it with my in-laws so I’m not sure I’ll get a chance. If I do, I’ll make some sweet potato pie!

I didn’t bake for Thanksgiving. It was a rough year and we decided to go out to eat….easier emotionally! However, I did make a batch of my favorite Peanut Butter Blossom cookies on Black Friday. That counts, right?! :)
Glad to see you back and posting a bit. I do enjoy reading your blog!

For Thanksgiving, I baked a caramel flan. I was debating whether or not I wanted to make an apple pie which I craved. However, my last homemade pie crust experience left little to be desired.
