Without Cake a Birthday Party is Just a Meeting
Oh gosh! It seems like it’s been forever since I’ve made a cake…much too long in fact. Every celebration deserves a cake in my opinion and today is no exception…Dish ‘n’ the Kitchen turns two today!
I am constantly amazed at how much I have learned over these past two years. It’s basically been one huge learning curve right from the get go because it isn’t always easy for me to express myself artistically and literally. I’ve always been jealous of my sisters and how darn crafty they are and I’ve never thought of myself as ‘crafty’ or ‘artsy’ in any way. Through blogging I have found my creative side and it brings me such great joy. Another perk? I’ve met so many like minded and talented people who are either part of the Calgary food scene or fellow bloggers. While knowing local foodies is great for keeping on top of the ever growing food scene here in Calgary, getting (and giving) encouragement, support, and sharing ideas with fellow bloggers have been pivotal in my blog’s success.
That leaves me with the most important people to me as a blogger…all 921 of you. Without readers who get inspired and comment on my posts, blogging would be a lot less fun. It’s strange but I never really started this to get people to follow me and I never really expected anyone to read my blog at all. Yet reading that first post comment and seeing that first ‘like’ was a definitely a thrill. I am so thankful and surprised that so many people care about what I have to say.
It’s been an amazing year and that calls for a CAKE!

And a piece for you. Thank you so much for reading my blog. I’m looking forward to a new year and new experiences!
Happy blog birthday Bernice!!! 2 years!! She’s gonna start screaming and being a little pain in the beeeehind now! Is that what two year olds do? I know nothing about children. I assume that’s what they do 😉
