So it is my one year blog anniversary. Yes, my very first post ‘Tiramisu’ was last year on the 17th of March 2010. I can't believe how fast the year has passed. It has been a very mad & rewarding year and I loved sharing my baking experiences & disasters with all of you. It is still hard to believe that there are so many of you who are commenting and reading my blog and the wonderful comments have kept me going. I have been inspired by many beautiful blogs out there and had no idea that my blog could be interesting to others and not just me!
I am thankful all the comments made on the various posts over the past year. Your feedback and ideas are ever so important to me Thanks to each and every one of YOU.
It's been an incredible year. What started off as a way to archive my recipes has grown into an incredible platform for me. I have learned so many things through this blog and absolutely love the challenges I take up. I have met some fantastic bloggers, writers, authors, and food photographers.
I am absolutely proud of what I have achieved, Daring Bakers, Mactweets, couple of reviews I've been asked to do and of course, I have been offered to participate in two TV shows (competition) where I met my favorites. I loved the all the comments that Mary Berry, Ed Baines and John Burton Race gave me. One of them thought I am a pastry chef when I am just an amateur bakerJ
Due to contractual obligations I won’t be able to give out the show names until they are aired).I was told I got through out of some 2000 odd applications for these shows. I am also happy that my recipes were published in an e-cookbook. (http://www.vitalifematcha.com/)
This year produced 65 posts including the product reviews, book reviews, daring bakers challenges and Mactweets. The total views this year has been 12000.
I thank all my friends found through this blog, Twitter, my loyal friends who are my official guinea pigs and my darling S for making my blog a great space.
