My 1st Blog Anniversary With Fruity-Nutty Cake

Well today is the day last year i started blogging and am so happy that i could complete atleast a year and hope to celebrate it each year passing by ...and its really unbelievable for me to complete it so soon, i really started it thinking that i would pass my free time this way but now its become a part of my life, my identity and for this Firstly i need to thank "GOD" for it..and then my Family who supported me throughout ....it feels really good to celebrate this special occasion. just like how i celebrate my birthday with all my loved ones,same way i wanted to share my happiness with all my blogger friends and my readers, In this one year i really found many new & genuine friends who appreciated my work through many awards & their wonderful comments which made my day even more happier,am really thankful to each and everyone for this, and all their comments did encourage and motivate me to do more and try new things everytime...i really didnt have any idea that i could go so far without u people....so thanks a lot everyone ....So to celebrate this special occasion i had prepared a cake, and for the first time i tried doing an icing over it, really enjoyed doing that with the help of my hubby & my son and had a nice time celebrating it as well...and this cake I must say is a memorable one.....Came out well but got to work on it to do the best one...may be next time u all will see a much better one...
