It’s been a year folks! *rubbing eyes in disbelief*
Yes, I’ve been rambling on for a year now and I actually have readers who aren’t just family and friends. Friends and family who’ve been cajoled, persuaded, bribed, threatened ๐
Sometimes when I look at my statistics (stopped studying it 30 years back in college, but its so intriguing now!) I find people visiting from Fiji and Bulgaria, Armenia and Slovakia, Venezuela and Zambia. It really astonishes me! Guys, if you ever revisit, please leave me a comment, telling me about yourselves! About your countries, about your lives. I’d love to know.
And when I look at the search terms that brought them here- the maximum hits are ‘Pigs in the mud’!
A heartfelt “Thank you” to all of you, who’ve come a visiting. Thanks to all of you who’ve left me a comment or two. For following my adventures with Cake, for allowing me to share.
When I started decorating cakes a year and a half back, I found a brilliant set of teachers in MyCakeSchool. Melissa and BeBe.
I also found Jacquee who gifted me a year’s subscription to MyCakeSchool. Jacquee, who is immensely talented and has a beautiful blog and is generous to a fault.
I’d like to pass on the baton and gift a membership to all you wonderful readers. My giveaway is open until the 12th of October 2013. Please leave me a comment telling me why you love baking.
One winner will be chosen from amongst all of you.
And a special gift for all of you in Singapore! Leave a comment on my ‘Piggies revisited‘ and get to take away a box of 6 yummy cupcakes topped with chocolate ganache and a cute fondant pig. Again, the giveaway ends on the 12th of October. Three winners will be chosen, so please leave an email address I can contact you on.
Thank you for accompanying me on this journey!

It has been a year since you started your blogging and baking and enlightened so many of your friends and well-wishers with your baking skill turning out fabulous and delicious cakes for both little kids as well as teen-agers. I liked all your creations ,especially your Bloom, Tryst with midnight hour and Pigs in the mud etc……..
I would like you to continue with this creativity and make people develop interest in this line.
Thank you Dad and Ma.
Congrats! keep it going!
Thank you very much for your wishes!
Many congrats on your first year! Grief, I’m fast heading to my second – arrgh! Can’t quite believe that.
– Can’t say I was ever overly keen on stats at school. On here, however, I’m quite often fascinated by people and their countries that drop by. Hate to admit it but sometimes I have to use the little map to find out exactly where they are.
Thank you Johnny. Yep, looking at maps fascinates me too ๐
– Congratulations Radhika for the 1st year blogging anniversary!
– Thank you for brightening our lives with your creations and comments with humor! Looking forward to many more years of happy interactions with you!
– This is my first time entering for any blog giveaways… I love baking because I like to see the delight on the faces which look at the desserts and content look when tasting them. Also, feeling of learning accomplishment is fabulous.
– I’m off to Piggies Revisited to enter there too and collect my box of 6 yummy cupcakes topped with chocolate ganache and a cute fondant pig! ๐ )))
Thanks for your beautiful comment Fae! And, I completely agree- I love seeing kids’ eyes light up too!
Happy Birth Day Sinsations, one lucky year of tasting so many beautiful and delicious cakes, seasoned with fine poetry….(I must join the Study group again:))) Very well done Radhika, all the best and good luck. db

Baking is stress relieving, a chance to be on my own. And i love the challenge a new baking project poses. I also like the planning and the concentration required to get it right. Then the desire to make it even better next time keeps me going! You know what I mean, you’ve been there!
