I’m Celebrating Today!
Guess what?
It was exactly one year ago when I started this blog to chronicle my search for the perfect brownie! I even named my blog “The Perfect Brownie.” Back then, I took pictures with an almost decade-old point and shoot camera and learned to run a blog by looking up a lot of things on Google.
Over the course of a year, this blog grew and changed to the point where I renamed it “Recipe for Perfection,” reflecting my search for all kinds of perfect recipes, not just brownies. It also expanded from a hobby blog to a part time job. From its humble beginnings of less than 600 unique visitors in an entire month, Recipe for Perfection now receives over 600 visitors per day.
It’s been a wonderful experience, and I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family, and the support of fellow bloggers. In honor of this “birthday” (or “blogiversary,” as some call it), I’ve asked some friends to share their favorite birthday cake recipes. These cakes will make all your birthday wishes come true- at least, so long as your birthday wish involves enjoying a decadent and delicious cake!
