cake
Another year has come and gone and I would like to take the time now to look at the year here at the Gallery. I went through our site’s stats and picked out the top hit-getting posts published this year. It wasn’t quite as simple as I thought it would be. You see, when we make posts with multiple pictures in it, the site counts each picture view as a hit. So, it’d be kind of hard to compare a post like that to a post with all its content on a single page. I solved this problem by making two separate top 15 lists. I made one for the multiple picture posts and one for the single posts. Just hop the jump and we’ll get started!
Well, the year is coming to a close. Time to make some new year’s resolutions and all that nonsense. If you are planning on cutting out sweets in the coming year, well, I’m glad I got you this before 2010 comes to a close. You see, I baked all of you a surprise “Happy New Year” cake. Come and get a piece after the jump.
I remember when I was obsessed with Cookie Monster as a child & I insisted that my birthday cake BE Cookie Monster. Every year. For like, 4 years straight.
I would have appreciated his whole body for the cake, so that I could imagine CM himself giggling as I swiped icing off his toes with my fingers. But. Of course, I got just his head. With a giant cookie sitting in his mouth.
Every year I could barely contain my excitement it was THE MOMENT that I got to stain my tongue with the blue icing & get my hands on that giant cookie, (that I actually didn’t have to climb to the ceiling cabinets & steal, for once!).
My mom came through with this demand for her bratty child, because she was awesome. That and she was probably nervous that I’d kill the fish or houseplants again, if she didn’t comply. Yes, this really happened, but it was all an accident, (at least, that’s what I remember).
On my 6th birthday, though, Cookie Monster suffered a horrific death at the jaws of my black lab – Jake. It was the morning of my party & I descended the stairs all excitedly, expecting to see that big blue face staring back at me behind the clear film window on the cake box….
