Holy guacamole.
Holy smokes.
Holy shnikey and whatever else holy you want to call it.. I can't believe I've been blogging for five years! And I also can't believe the cuteness of the fact that the date in which I started my baby, this here Coco Cake Land blog, on August 20th 2008, and then that happens to be the date I also give birth to my real-life baby, my son Teddy, in 2012!
Cahmannn, world - throw me another August 20th bone, why dontcha!
To celebrate, I'm throwing a
COCO CAKE LAND CONTEST GIVEAWAY.
OHHHH YEAH!
Slog through these cakes to get to the details below! I'll be posting even more of my fave cakes I've made over the years through this week...
So five years ago my blog looked pretty different than it does now.
Crappy flash photography photos, finding my voice in writing, weird muffins and shaky-hand buttercream frosting work. Five years of caking, baking, photographing and writing and I'm constantly tweaking and building and transitioning. It's always a work in progress! Even if those first posts are cringe-inducing, I'll keep them up to remind me of where I started!
And... of course I want to THANK YOU for being my wonderful Coco Cake Land readers, followers and fans! I wish I could meet you all and see what you're all up to. But what I want to do is offer a 5 Year Blog Anniversary Coco Cake Land Contest! Say that five times fast and you're the winner! Just kidding... ya gotta do more work that that... ;)
