Bakerella: 2009 Bloggies Finalist for Best Food Blog
What?!?!?!? How did that happen? And, what the heck are the Bloggies? I hope you guys have heard of these because I hadn’t until I received a sweet message from Makes & Takes letting me know she nominated me. But, I’m guessing a few more of you must have done the same. So thanks everyone… this is really exciting! Now, let’s check out who I’m up against in the top five…
2009 Bloggies Best Food Blog Finalists:
The Pioneer Woman Cooks - PW rocks the ranch when it comes to food. Heck, she rocks at everything. (I might as well stop here. She’s probably already won.)
Smitten Kitchen – I might just vote for her because her name is so cute. (Not really…I’ve already voted for myself, but I am smitten.)
Chocolate & Zucchini – If cuisine is your thing, then you’ll want to vote for Cotilde.
Cake Wrecks – They don’t make food, but they do make fun of it. They show the best of messed up cakes.
Bakerella – Then, there’s me. I think I’m the underdog here, but if you like things sweet, then vote for me.
So glad I saved my mii cupcake in the freezer. It came in pretty handy for this.
Scroll to the right and choose your favorite blog.
Voting closes: February 2nd at 10:00 PM EST

I am so not voting!! There are 3 of you on here that I absolutely ADORE, therefore, I can’t just pick one!! I’m so sorry. They should break it down to baking vs. Cooking vs. food humor or something. That would have made it easier. GOOD LUCK!

this is wayyyyy too impossible 4/5 of these nominees are bookmarked and i check them religiously. i can’t pickkk! :(
January 27, 2009 05:54 AMOh man, I just can’t do it. I love your blog and I love Cake Wrecks for two very different reasons. I cannot choose one of you over the other, I need you both!!
January 27, 2009 02:27 PMOkay, when I saw Bakerella and Cakewrecks competing in the Best Food Blog category I thought, ‘how on earth can I make a decision?!?’. But then I saw I could vote for Jen for Best New Blog. Whew! So Bakerella, you have my vote for Best Food Blog!
Work it sister!
January 27, 2009 03:13 PMAw, I love my cupcake! (Jen from Cake Wrecks here) You really nailed the blue and the whole spirit of the site!
I wish you all the best in the Bloggies: as some of your readers have pointed out, Wrecks is also up for Best New Blog and Best Writing, so hopefully everyone can vote for ALL their favorites in at least one category! :) Good luck!
January 27, 2009 10:28 PMI voted for you. While looking at the different categories, I saw Cake Wrecks in there at least 3 times. Hope you win as I love your site. Sure wish there was a category for best basket weaving website.
January 28, 2009 11:50 PMHugs,

February 3, 2009 04:39 AMHi Bakerella!
So do you double up on your cupcake liners? Is that why the colors are still pronounced and you know they dont get the greassy baked look or do you just use better quality cupcake liners?
Because I always have the problem of using pretty liners that you cant even see becuase when you bake in them they bake in to the cake and then they just look dirty greassy brownish color
February 3, 2009 01:12 PMNo, I don’t double up. I use these and they’re pretty awesome.
