It’s been a great year!

It’s been a fun first year. Thank you for sharing it with me.

And, just yesterday I got the coolest present to round out the year.

THE Pioneer Woman blogged about making my Halloween Cake Pops. I couldn’t believe it. I look at her site all the time in amazement and I couldn’t believe she was talking about me. (She’s like some kind of super-human. If you aren’t familiar with her, you should check her out.) I’ve been secretly wishing her family would adopt me so I could live on the ranch and cook and take pictures of cows with her all day. So here’s a little photo just for her. I think she would like it.

Cow Cake Pops

Anyway, I can’t wait to see what next year brings. More sweet stuff for all of us I hope.

  1. Congrats on 1 year!! You have a great blog and are very talented!! You should be really proud!!

    I am so jealous that you got to meet “Bo” he was also my boyfriend when I was 6 or 7!

  2. Hey, being so much older than you, and sharing crushes, I had a big crush on Mickey Dolenz from the Monkees. So long ago…
    Love your blog and your creations!

  3. As a teen I was in love with New Kids on the Block. I still smile when I see or hear them today :)

  4. My celebrity crush is Dante Basco aka Rufio from Huck.

  5. Holy Cow!!! You have 589 comments! That’s amazing. Congrats on your one year anniversary with Bakerella. You’ve accomplished amazing feats. My secret crush growing up was Shaun Cassidy and used to kiss his lips on the poster of him hanging up in my bedroom. Yikes! What a hoot.

  6. Congrats on your one year!

    My crush was Donnie from NKOTB growing up, but now I’m in love with Wentworth Miller. HOTTIE!

  7. Although my all-time favorite crush of childhood was Shaun Cassidy (yes, I even had a pillowcase with his BEAUTIFUL face on it and that winged hair…oh my!), I, too, loved Bo. My brother dressed as Bo 3 Halloweens in a row…now that I think about it, I should have dressed as Daisy!

  8. Russell Crowe and all his sexiness!!!!!!

  9. Another Harrison Ford as Han Solo/Indiana Jones fan! The man is still hot after all these years.

    Oh – and Jon Bon Jovi. Wow. So stinkin’ cute…. too bad he knows it.

    *swoon*

    (circlejournal@yahoo.com)

  10. Ok, *Swoon*…I totally had a crush on Bo Duke, and can still sing the entire Dukes of Hazzard theme song! I’m a total dork!

    I made your cupcake pops for my sister’s birthday, and just did the pumpkin ones for Halloween. They were a huge hit!

    Thanks so much for teaching us how to make fun things like that! :)

  11. Congratulations, Bakerella! I myself have just today entered the blogging world. YIKES! You have set the standard high.

    Robyn from Idaho
    C. Thomas Howell
    Still occasionally ‘Google’ him.
    Thanks for the chance.

  13. Happy 1st Blogiversary, Bakerella!!! What a great year it has been! I love your “01” cupcakes, and the wonderful story behind them. I read a lot of blogs, and yours is by far my most favorite. It makes my day everytime I get a notification that you’ve posted a new entry. :)

    So now for my crushes … when I was younger, I had huge crushes on Michael J. Fox and Kirk Cameron. Now that I’m all grown up and happily married, I have big crushes on James Spader (from Boston Legal) and John Cusack. Yummy!! :)

    Here’s to many, many more great blogiversaries!! :)

  14. Ah. I forgot to leave my name. I am the previous poster who talked about Matt Damon, Taye Diggs, and Halloween treats. Yummy all around

  15. Congrats on one year and going strong! Matt Damon and Taye Diggs are my cuties of choice. Also, I wanted to let you know that I made your Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie and Red Velvet Cake Balls (in addition to Buckeye Bars and Dirt Pie) for a Halloween party. Big hits!

  16. i just wanted to say 'happy blogaversary!' i began my blog the same week as you, & found yours maybe 2 months later.
    i'm so happy for your success over the past year!
    ~peace.

  17. John Cusack is a one of my secret crushes! And Duff Goldman from “Ace of Cakes”. That laugh gets me every time. And think of all the free cake!!!! :)

  23. I loved David Cassidy and Bobby Sherman–boy, I feel old!

  24. My huge crushes were Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp! How cool to meet Bo Duke! Happy 1 year Bakerella!!

  25. LOL! I, too, had an enormous crush on Bo…err… I mean John! In fact, when I came home with straight A’s on my report card in the 6th grade my reward was an 8-track-tape of John Schneider! I was in 11-year-old heaven!

    Shortly thereafter John was overthrown as my #1 hearthrob by none other than Rick Springfield. Yep, to this day I wish I WAS Jesse’s girl! *sigh*

    Thanks for a year of fun blog reading!

  29. Paul Newman in “Cool Hand Luke.” Ah, so sad. But his blue eyes will always be the apple of mine!

  30. I had a crush on leo dicaprio when i saw titanic ten years ago. i hate to admit that! love the site!

    My celebrity crush is….tyler florence–yummy!

  36. I met the other brother, but the blonde one was the better looking one!

    mreynoldsevents@gmail.com

  37. Yay congrats!!!

    I have had a crush on Paul Newman ever since I saw him in Cool Hand Luke. He was super talented and gorgeous. <3

  38. I’m not sure if my comment posted so I am going to comment again – just to be on the safe side!

    My sister had her 11th birthday party last week and we all went to see High School Musical 3. I loved the movie – which I maybe should or shouldn’t be ashamed to admit? But regardless – I loved the star of it even more.

    Bottom line – Zac Efron is a hottie.

    I’m 21 – same as him – just to be clear. I’m not some old woman getting all hot over some young guy. But I am also married – so I guess I can’t really pine after him for to long… my husband might get a little jealous.

    Anyway I love LOVE your blog – and I love the pictures more than anything! Congrats on 1 year – and I hope that you keep on going for much longer than that!

  39. Happy Anniversary!
    Just ordered a tshirt! Can’t wait.
    Hope this next year is as wonderful as this past one.

    Take care,
    Tania

  40. Oh, dear…LUKE Duke was my boyfriend. We could have been cousins-by-marriage. =)

  41. I’m sure there were many… Rob Lowe is definitely among them.

  42. Well I have to admit – which may be something I should be ashamed of – but I went to see High School Musical 3 with my little sister and I loved it. What I loved even more was the star Haha. Ok, Zac Efron is seriously seriously HOT! I’m 21 – so don’t worry I’m not some old lady with a crush on some young guy… we are the same age. I’m married though – so I guess I can’t pine after him for to long. Haha.

    Anyway – I love your site… and I love looking at your pictures they are always amazing! :)

  43. I’ve always admired Mrs Butterworth.

    Thanks for all the great ideas – have a blessed year!

  44. Well, I would have to say John from Chips…so dreamy…

    BTW-Congratulations!

  45. Wow! This is only my second time visiting the website, but I have to say your baking is AMAZING! I’ve never seen anything quite so… artistic with food. I love baking myself, but I’m not even a smidgen as talented as you are.

    I still, STILL, have a crush on Jordan from the New Kids on the Block. I’ve been in love with him since I was about 4. No joke. It’s kind of pathetic, I know, but I don’t really care.

  46. I have a ton of crushes…LOVE Harrison Ford, LOVE Julia Roberts, LOVE Rachael Ray and Giada Delaurentes…and LOVE your site too…

  136. I had a huge crush on Daryl Hall from Hall and Oates. Still love their music today, but I’m over the whole crush thing!

    dkorhume@yahoo.com

  137. Longtime crush: Michael Damien. Since he was on the soaps!

    Several years ago he was playing Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I knew, through friends, the woman playing the narrator. So, we got to go backstage and hangout–and of course he came by to say hi to her. I was very nonchalant, acting as if I was backstage all the time–but inside I was freaking out!

    On the way out of the theater we passed him signing autographs for some older ladies, I broke my super cool cover to ask him to sign my Playbill. He smiled at me so nicely and said he would have done it backstage if he had known I was a fan. Then he leaned over and kissed me on my check! Ahhh!

    Happy Blogiversary!

  138. I have a crush on Patrick Dempsey!

    ravenwins @ comporium.net

  153. I too, was a huge Dukes of Hazzard fan when I was younger but Luke Duke was my man…as an adult my new celebrity infatuation would have to be Paula Deen. I have moved on from cute boys to chefs. I have met her at a book signing and watched her live on her cooking tour. She is as down to earth as you would expect.

    I’m pretty fond of Seth Rogen.

  174. that is such a great picture of you and “Bo” but I have bad news for you – he must have been a cheatin’ bastard back then cause he was MY boyfriend too! ;)
    I -need- a bakerella shirt. Please pick me random generator!

  175. I have become addicted to your blog and have tried most everything you do! Tonight I am making the pumpkin choco chip cookies to take to a friends for dinner!
    Okay, so my all time favorite celeb crush is Kenny Loggins (I suppose that dates me a bit!). I saw him for the first time when I was 15. My friends and I have seen him many times since then, but last year for my 40th, we went to see him again. This time I did some fancy talking after the show and I actually MET HIM! My friend had to step in because he couldn’t understand what I was saying, I talk fast when I am nervous! Anyway it was great, you are great, your blog is beyond great!
    Happy Anniversary! mps

  176. MMMM my celebrity crush would have to be Jeff Gordon… HELLO HOTTIE!!!

  177. Oh! I was glancing at your cake pops on the Pioneer Woman’s site, and wondering something: If one were to try and make turkeys out of cake balls, what could you use for the tail feathers? Fondant maybe? I just don’t know!!

  178. I've had so many crushes, but a favorite when I was younger was Shaun Cassidy & Parker Stevenson from the Hardy Boys. I was so sure they would come an help me out some time!

    Congratulations on your Blogaversary!

  179. Happy Anniversary! My favorite celeb crush is Tatum Channing.

  180. I had a HUGE crush on Joe from New Kids on the Block when they first came out. It’s a lasting crush, too, because I have every single one of his solo albums, and I still google him once a week to see what’s up! :D

  181. Justin Timberlake, by far. I remember watching him on the Disney Channel concert with *N SYNC and I decided he was my boyfriend then and there!
    He’s still my boyfriend, but Jessica Biel just doesn’t know about it ;)

  182. Teen Beat Magazine was kind enough to give me regular updates on my boyfriends C. Thomas Howell and Ralph Macchio. Sad, but true. Current crush would have to be vampire Bill from True Blood. Delish!

    Congrats on a fantastic year!

    I don’t know whether to be glad or feel a little lonely with the lack of others that had crushes on Rick Springfield… I used to play his record every morning while I got ready for school and would sing to his poster on the back of my bedroom door. :P

    Anyway, you look great and always looking forward for more updates! Happy Blogerversary Bakerella!
