Sharing the love

I've made it to Pinterest!  It's a new day!  I thought it's high time that I share some of that internet love, and recommend some of my most treasured blogs. Here are some of my favorite web discoveries of 2011 (plus some recently discovered favorites!)  They charm, enchant, and bewitch with their artful words, to-die-for, mouth-watering photos, and of course, wit!
Note:  such a list cannot possibly do these blogs individual justice; more in-depth items soon to come!

Book Review: Cake Pops

Cake Pops  by Bakerella
  I recently reviewed this book from a friend's collection.  This book has ample advice and instructions, many steps with pictures.  Cakepops are easy to make, with the basic ingredients of cake-crumbed- and frosting, plus candy coating.  I would coat them in frosting instead, or leave them plain.  And eating all that dye can't be good for you!  But overall, a fun book to have.
